Abstract

Primary involvement of the larynx in non‑Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is rare. Early symptoms are non‑specific and thus, it is difficult to diagnose. In the present study, the case of a 52 year‑old male with hoarseness due to diffuse T‑cell lymphoma as the first manifestation of precursor T‑cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is presented. Subsequent to treatment with three cycles of the etoposide and cytosine arabinoside (EA) and one cycle of the EA+L‑asp chemotherapy regimens, the patient achieved complete remission. A series of consolidation therapy courses were performed subsequently. At present, the patient remains disease‑free, indicating that the treatment was effective. Primary involvement of the larynx in NHL is rare. Symptoms in the early stage are subtle and non‑specific and thus, diagnosis is difficult to establish. This type of tumor requires special diagnostic and therapeutic attention.
