Abstract

Malignant lymphoma rarely occurs in the larynx and hypopharynx. Few cases of malignant lymphoma in the larynx were reported in Korea. However, malignant lymphoma in the hypopharynx had been not reported in Korea. A 68-year-old woman came to the outpatient clinic with a foreign body sensation in her throat. A round, smooth margin, bright pink-colored mass was confirmed by the laryngoscopy. The patient took neck computer tomography. A small bulging of mucosa was observed, but there was no peripheral infiltration or abnormally enlarged lymph nodes. We did excision using CO2 LASER. She was finally diagnosed with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT lymphoma). After diagnosis, several image studies confirmed that there was no metastatic lesion. She got only radiotherapy after that and kept a complete response state for over 2 years.
