Laryngeal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma associated with bronchial MALT lymphoma: a case series and review of the literature

Laryngeal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is rare, with only 25 cases reported in the literature. This report presents a case of laryngeal MALT lymphoma in a 35-year-old female with a 6-year history of progressively worsening hoarseness. MALT lymphoma was diagnosed based on biopsy and immunohistochemical analysis. The patient received two cycles of cyclo-phosphamide + epirubicin + vincristine + prednisone (CHOP) chemo therapy, which was ineffective. 18F-fluoro deoxy glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) showed 18F-FDG accumulation in the larynx only and identified stage IE lymphoma. CHOP chemotherapy was terminated and the patient was treated with radiotherapy. After 3 months (total radiation dose 27 Gy), 18F-FDG PET/CT scan showed that the laryngeal lesion was in complete remission. A review of the literature on the MEDLINE®/PubMed® databases regarding laryngeal MALT lymphoma and the use of PET/CT found that radiotherapy is the firstline treatment for stage I and II MALT lymphoma.

Rare Diagnosis

We report a rare case of common bile duct mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma treated with pancreatico-duodenectomy with a partial gastrectomy. MALT lymphoma involving the biliary tree is extremely rare. Diagnosis is difficult and treatment options are controversial. Even though Helicobacter pylori treatment is effective in the early stages of the disease, surgery is still helpful especially when obstruction, perforation, or bleeding is present.

Left Neck

A 60-year-old woman was diagnosed with isolated mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the ocular adnexa and treated with two years of weekly rituximab for eight doses followed by rituximab maintenance. After nearly two years of maintenance therapy, she developed a tender, indurated mass on the left neck. Biopsy results were consistent with primary cutaneous classical Hodgkin lymphoma (PCCHL).

Malignant Changes

Laryngeal amyloidosis is a rare disorder characterized by localized amyloid deposition and carries an excellent prognosis. On the other hand, mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the most common type of marginal zone lymphoma. MALT lymphoma has a poorer prognosis compared to laryngeal amyloidosis due to more frequent local recurrence, distant metastasis and malignant changes. Despite the differences, as both are found in the form of benign mass and have slow progression, accurate diagnosis is necessary. This report deals with the case of a patient with voice change accompanied by a mass, in which the initial biopsy did not include enough specimen for an accurate diagnosis. However, in the second attempt, an adequate sample was obtained, hence the final diagnosis of laryngeal MALT lymphoma. Based on our recent experience and a review of related literature, we report a case of laryngeal MALT lymphoma mimicking laryngeal amyloidosis.
