Resumen

La creciente incidencia de estados inmunosupresores viene facilitando en los últimos años la aparición de tumores de localización y comportamiento infrecuentes. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 41 años VIH-positiva que consultó por disfagia alta y voz faringolálica. La exploración detectó una tumoración dependiente de la amígdala lingual con extensión a hipofaringe y laringe, sin afectación adenopática. Su resistencia al protocolo quimioterápico obligó a su exéresis quirúrgica.

Palabras clave:
