Solitary Polypoid Laryngeal Xanthoma

Abstract: We report the case of a 51-year-old male smoker with diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidaemia and a long history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection treated with various antiretroviral regimes, who was referred to the otolaryngology department with progressive dysphonia. Fibre-optic laryngoscopy showed a solitary, yellowish-white pedunculated polyp on the anterior third of the left cord, with no other abnormality. Pathological analysis revealed a polypoid laryngeal xanthoma tha… Show more

“…Xanthomas are microscopically characterized by localized infiltrates of lipid-laden macrophages, usually on the skin and mucosal surfaces (respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Cutaneous xanthoma in particular may represent a localized idiopathic phenomenon or systemic hyperlipidemia. 3 While several types of cutaneous xanthomas have been described in the literature, 1,2 those affecting the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts are usually named "xanthomas."…”

“…3 While several types of cutaneous xanthomas have been described in the literature, 1,2 those affecting the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts are usually named "xanthomas." [3][4][5][6][7][8] Recent studies have also reported xanthomas at intraosseous locations, affecting the jaws. [9][10][11] Interestingly, xanthomas, as described in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, [3][4][5][6][7][8] have not been reported in the oral mucosa.…”
