Primary lymphomas of the larynx are extremely rare. Even more unusual is their association with rheumatologic diseases. Some cases of lymphoma have developed after chemotherapy for rheumatologic diseases, suggesting that the treatment may contribute to the development of lymphoma. The converse can also occur-the development of rheumatologic disease after a primary laryngeal lymphoma-but that is even rarer. We report a case of primary extranodal marginal zone B-cell MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue)lymphoma of the larynx in a 42-year-old woman treated with involved-field radiotherapy who developed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) 1 year after the lymphoma diagnosis. Currently, the patient remains in remission 8 years after her diagnosis. The SLE, for which she is receiving maintenance therapy, is stable.

D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D005938 Glucocorticoids A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.
