Abstract
Background: Primary malignant lymphomas (PHML) of the larynx are
exceptional. Case: A 43-year-old man presented with dysphonia and
pulmonary aspiration. The physical examination found bilateral cervical
lymph nodes and the pan endoscopy revealed a bleeding budding tumor of
the epiglottis. The head and neck scan showed a mass arising from the
epiglottis and invading the vallecules, the right aryepiglottic fold,
the two vocal cords and the anterior commissure with bilateral cervical
lymph nodes. The patient inderwent a chemotherapy, followed by an
irradiation of the involved nodal fields and the initial laryngeal
tumor. At a follow-up time of 3.5 years, the patient remains in disease
complete remission. Conclusion: We report the first case of laryngeal
PHML. Given the lack of recommendations for this extremely rare type of
tumor. The prognosis, even if it seems to be good, it is difficult to
specify whether it matches that of other localizations or not. Keywords:
