Summary

This study details a rare case of MALT lymphoma in a 79-year-old woman's subglottic larynx. Local radiotherapy was effective after ruling out systemic spread, highlighting unusual lymphoma presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hematology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Malignant lymphoma, particularly extranodal forms like MALT lymphoma, can rarely affect the larynx.
  • Subglottic location is an uncommon site for laryngeal lymphomas, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 79-year-old female patient presented with a subglottic tumor.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the tumor to be a MALT-type lymphoma.
  • Systemic dissemination was excluded through comprehensive staging investigations.

Findings:

  • Local radiotherapy was successfully employed as the primary treatment modality for the localized subglottic MALT lymphoma.
  • The patient's case underscores the possibility of rare hematopoietic neoplasms involving the larynx.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare lymphoma subtypes in the differential diagnosis of subglottic tumors.
  • Reviewing literature on laryngeal MALT lymphoma provides valuable insights into clinical presentation, treatment strategies, and follow-up for this rare entity.
