Abstract

Malignant lymphoma affecting the larynx is uncommon, probably accounts for less than 1 percent of malignant lesion of the larynx. Malignant lymphoma of the larynx is predominantly localized to supraglottis such as epiglottis, aryepiglottic fold. Laryngoscopy reveals a irregular submucosal mass with a smooth surface and no ulceration. Most of which belongs to non­Hodgkin's lymphoma. After it has been determined that the disease is localized, radiation therapy is the choice of the treatment. Chemotherapy with or without irradiation is reserved for more advanced tumor. Then life-long follow-up is essential. This paper deals with 5 cases malignant lymphoma of the larynx to review our clinical experience and to suggest the optimum treatment in the course of the disease.

후두에 생긴 원발성 임파종은 성문상부에 잘 생기며 일차치료로 방사친치료가 이용되나 후두외로 퍼진 경우는 항암화학치료와의 병용요법이 필요하다. 후두악성임파종의 전이나 재발여부에 대해 장기적 추적 관찰이 중요함을 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
