Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma of the larynx, soft palate and nasal cavity.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the larynx is uncommon and when it occurs usually presents as a non-ulcerating supraglottic mass with a predilection for the ventricle. No case of the lymphoplasmacytic variety occurring in the larynx has been reported in the literature to date. We present such a case with distant lesions in the soft palate and nasal cavity, mimicking nasal polyps.
