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.
