title: [Malignant lymphoma in the larynx].
abstract: Malignant haematological diseases such as the highly malignant diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the MALT-lymphoma and the extramedullary plasmocytoma are seldom located in the larynx. In this review, clinical symptoms, laryngoscopic findings, further diagnostics as well as therapy concepts are presented. Diagnosis is complicated and delayed due to the absence of classical pathognomic findings. Biopsy of the affected tissue can secure a correct diagnosis and malignant haematological disease can be ruled out.
