Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

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.

D018442 Lymphoma, B-Cell, Marginal Zone Extranodal lymphoma of lymphoid tissue associated with mucosa that is in contact with exogenous antigens. Many of the sites of these lymphomas, such as the stomach, salivary gland, and thyroid, are normally devoid of lymphoid tissue. They acquire mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type as a result of an immunologically mediated disorder.
