[Herpetic laryngeal involvement simulating neoplasm].
A case of laryngeal involvement by herpes virus is reported. Its appearance suggested an extensive neoplasm. Laryngeal herpes infection is uncommon, but the wide spectrum of forms of onset, from banal laryngitis to severe airway obstruction, hoarseness, or dysphagia, require accurate differential diagnosis to establish an effective treatment and follow-up.
