[Herpetic pseudotumor laryngitis].
The goal of this paper is to report an interesting case of laryngeal involvement by herpes virus, showing a morphological aspect very alike to an extense neoplasm of this region. Laryngeal involvement of herpes virus is a clinical infrequent entity, but as its wide onset forms range from a banal laryngitis until a severe airway obstruction, hoarseness or dysphagia, it seems mandatory an accurate differential diagnose to settle a treatment and the effective follow-up.
