Abstract

We report a case of a 79-year-old woman presenting subglottic tumor whose hystopathological study was MALT-type lymphoma. After excluding the possibility of systemic dissemination, local radiotherapy treatment was applied. The interest of this study lies in the rare involvement of haematopoietic neoplasms in the larynx, especially the MALT-type in subglottic location. We review the literature on this subject, exposing the clinical, therapeutical and follow up data in respect to the initial location of the lymphoma.
