Abstract:ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics of lymphoma in larynx and pharynx for improving the detection rate of lymphoma in these regions.MethodsClinical data of sixteen patients suffering from lymphoma in larynx and pharynx were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe main clinical symptoms were sore throat (n=14), globus pharyngeus (n=12), hoarseness (n=6), and fever or fatigue or night sweat (n=5). Only 2 patients complained of dyspnea and one complained of bloodstained sputum. Biopsy was performed under electronic laryngoscope in all the 16 patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by pathology as NK/T cell lymphoma in 11 and Bcell lymphoma in 5.ConclusionThere were no specificity in clinical symptoms, and the electronic endoscopic findings showed some particularities. Electronic laryngoscope examination could find the lesion in early stage and perform the biopsy for pathology, thus reduce the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
