A 36-year-old woman was referred to the department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Vrije Universiteit, because of complaints of hoarseness. A submucosal swelling of the right ventricular fold was found that was subsequently biopsied. Histopathological examination showed a low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Treatment consisted of local radiotherapy (to 2800 cGy). During the 2-year follow-up to date there has been no evidence of recurrent disease. To our knowledge, only four cases of MALT lymphomas in the larynx have been reported. The clinical behavior of MALT lymphoma is clearly quite distinct and requires proper recognition to prevent inadvertent misdiagnosis of overtreatment.
一名36岁女性因声音嘶哑的症状被转诊至自由大学大学医院耳鼻喉科/头颈外科。检查发现右室襞有黏膜下肿胀，随后进行了活检。组织病理学检查显示为黏膜相关淋巴组织（MALT）的低度B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤。治疗包括局部放疗（2800 cGy）。在至今的2年随访中，没有疾病复发的迹象。据我们所知，仅报告过4例喉部MALT淋巴瘤病例。MALT淋巴瘤的临床行为明显不同，需要正确识别以防止无意中误诊或过度治疗。
