RESUMO
Los linfomas no Hodgkin (LNH) son comunes en pacientes con infección por Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana (VIH), pero es raro que aparezcan como linfomas primarios de laringe o hipofaringe. Presentamos el caso de un paciente al que se diagnosticó un LNH de alto grado a través de una biopsia de una lesión primaria de seno piriforme, tomada por laparoscopia directa. Simultáneamente se le diagnosticó de infección por VIH. El interés de este trabajo reside en la remisión completa del linfoma al instaurar sólo la terapia específica frente al VIH (AU)
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) are common in HIV patients, although it is rare for primary lymphomas to develop in the larynx or hypopharynx. We present the case of a patient that was diagnosed of a high degree NHL, following a biopsy of the piriform sinus' lesion, taker by direct laryngoscopy. Simultaneously he was diagnosed as HIV. The interest of this paper is the total remission of the lymphoma seen after specific HIV treatment only (AU)
