Abstract

Lymphoma is a malignant disease of lymphatic cells. Despite numerous sub-types, the disease is generally divided into two main groups: Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Primary laryngeal non-Hodgkin lymphoma accounts for less than 1% of all laryngeal tumors. We herein present a 43-year-old male patient with difficulty swallowing due to a laryngeal mass. Morphological and immunohistochemical examination revealed T cell lymphoma according to the World Health Organization classification. The patient was referred for chemo-radiotherapy. Primary lymphoma of the larynx is a rare, and primary T-cell laryngeal lymphoma is an even rarer tumor.
