Extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma is uncommonly occurred in
larynx,
accounting for less than 1% of all laryngeal neoplasm. In
general, the
laryngeal lymphoma is appeared submucosal mass without mucosal
ulceration and is most commonly found in supraglottic area. The
primary laryngeal lymphoma constitute a diagnostic challenge
because
they are characterized by absence of clinical and gross
differential
criteria, compared with SCC (squamous cell carcinoma). We
encountered
a 74-year-old man with hoarseness and lump sensation in the
throat. On
direct laryngoscope, multiple ulcerative and exudative mass in
glottis
and supraglottic areas were observed. The patient was finally
diagnosed as lymphoma through laryngeal microsurgery. He received
radiation therapy and so far, there is no evidence of recurrence.
Surgeons should take into account a primary laryngeal lymphoma
with
SCC, even though the mass has superficial mucosal change. |
