Fibroma tipo nucal laterocervical. Descripción de un caso

Abstract

Introduction: Nuchal-type fibroma is a rare proliferation of soft tissues of a benign nature. It appears more frequently in middle-aged men, usually as a solitary mass and less than 6 cm, poorly circumscribed, not encapsulated, dense and whitish in color. Its etiopathogenesis is unknown and is usually asymptomatic. Its diagnosis is histological, and its treatment the complete resection. Case description: We present the case of a 72-year-old patient who came to our hospital due to the chance finding of a right laterocervical tumor 5 days ago. She does not treat dysphonia, odynophagia, otalgia, dyspnea, fever or constitutional syndrome. After the exploration and the necessary imaging tests, it is surgically intervened with good results, the result is a type of fibroma of laterocervical localization. Conclusions: The clinical evaluation of a solitary neck mass can be difficult, so the nuchal fibroid should include the possible differential diagnoses of tumors in the posterior cervical region.
