INTRODUCTION: Primary lymphoma of the larynx is extremely rare, representing less than 1% of all primary laryngeal neoplasms. It consists mainly of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs), represented particularly by diffuse large B-cell. Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, presented in larynx is a rare condition that accounts for less than 11% of all lymphomas without distinctive clinicopathologic features, as well as challenging pathologic diagnosis. CASE REPORT: We report here a case of a 64-years-old man who presented with primary lymphoma type T of the subglottic larynx. A histopathological examination of the biopsy confirmed non-Hodgkin T cell lymphoma. Given his age, he underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The patient was disease-free after 18 months follow up. CONCLUSION: The clinicopathological characteristics and rational treatment of primary laryngeal lymphoma are still unclear and need to be further defined due to the paucity of this pathology.
