[The clinical features of laryngeal malignant lymphoma with 5 cases reported].
OBJECTIVE
To improve the diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal malignant lymphoma.


METHODS
Clinical features of 5 cases were reported and recent literatures were reviewed.


RESULTS
2 cases presented with large ulcerated lesions and their laryngeal structure were destroyed, their prognosis were poor. Another 3 cases were local primary lesions, they were generally associated with a relatively short history of hoarseness and dysphagia and exhibited grey-white neoplasms with preferential involvement in the supraglottic parts of larynx, but non-ulcerated lesions, they were treated with operation and radiotherapy or chemotherapy or combinations. The prognosis were very well after 2 to 6 years follow up.


CONCLUSIONS
It is important for the local primary lesion to be diagnosed correctly for the treatment and prognosis.
