Coexistence of MALT-type lymphoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx.
A 66-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed as having a MALT-type lymphoma by histopathological examination. The lesion involved the vocal folds bilaterally, occupying the larynx and extending beyond it, as shown by computed tomography (CT). A course of radiation therapy with moderate doses was given. Six months later, a squamous cell carcinoma was found in the larynx and total laryngectomy was then performed. The patient remained well, without recurrence, 46 months after the operation. thus, MALT-type lymphoma may coexist with a squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx.
