Objectives
The aim of the study is to expose and highlight the clinical, imaging and therapeutic features of B-cell laryngeal lymphoma, with a brief review of literature.
Material and Methods
We report a rare case of B-cell laryngeal lymphoma
Results
A 42-year-old female was referred to the Otorhinolaryngology department for progressive dyspnea and dysphonia. Endoscopic examination and imaging reveals a supraglottis mass. The final diagnosis is a B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the supraglottis.
Conclusion
Primary laryngeal lymphoma is a rare condition that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a laryngeal mass, especially if it affects the supraglottic region. The diagnosis is difficult. Direct laryngoscopy with multiples and deep biopsies makes the diagnosis. The treatment and prognosis depend on the stage and grade of the lymphoma.
