Primary laryngeal T-cell lymphoma: A case report and review of the literature.

Primary lymphoma of the larynx is extremely rare, representing less than 1% of all primary laryngeal neoplasms. It consists mainly of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs), represented particularly by diffuse large B-cell. Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, presented in larynx is a rare condition that accounts for less than 11% of all lymphomas without distinctive clinicopathologic features, as well as challenging pathologic diagnosis. We report here a case of a 64-years-old man who presented with primary lymphoma type T of the subglottic larynx. A histopathological examination of the biopsy confirmed non-Hodgkin T cell lymphoma. Given his age, he underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The patient was disease-free after 18 months follow up. The clinicopathological characteristics and rational treatment of primary laryngeal lymphoma are still unclear and need to be further defined due to the paucity of this pathology.
