Abstract:
Laryngeal lymphomas are rare, involving less than 1% of all laryngeal tumours. Extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas generally appear in places where lymphoid tissue exists, such as the small bowel or parotid; they are very unusual in organs with little or no presence of lymphoid tissue, such as the larynx. When advanced stages are established, initial lymphoma manifestation at the laryngeal level has rarely been documented. We present a case of a small cell lymphocytic lymphoma at stage IV/E with initial laryngeal symptoms and indicate its management and follow up.

Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids, corniculates, and...

The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
