Objective: Unusual clinical courseBackground: Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) is a reactive epithelial proliferation occurring secondary to infection, neoplasm, injury, and inflammation. The histopathological characteristics of PEH may lead to it being confused with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).Case Report: We present here the case of a 57-year-old male patient, who was diabetic and a smoker, who presented with dysphonia. Although nasal endoscopy suggested SCC, morphological and immunophenotypical study of biop-sy tissue ruled out malignancy.Conclusions: As the prognosis worsened, the patient required several urgent surgical interventions due to bleeding abscess-es and dyspnea. A total laryngectomy was performed.
