Abstract
A case of laryngeal MALT lymphoma (marginal zone B cell lymphoma of MALT type) in a 62-year-old female was reported with a review of the literature.
The surgeon happened to find an unusual mass with smooth surface located on the posterior commissure of the larynx during the gastrointestinal fiberoptic examination. We resected the mass under the direct laryngoscopy. Pathological examination revealed it as a MALT lymphoma of the larynx. She obtained disease free for one year after receiving three units of chemotherapy (CHOP).
