ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This scoping review aims to review cases of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) of the larynx to establish best management practices for this rare clinical entity.METHODS:
In this paper, we report a case of laryngeal MZL, in accordance with CARE guidelines. We then performed a scoping review according to PRISMA-ScR criteria of published cases of MZL involving the larynx. The following data were collected for each case age, sex, size, location(s) involved, stage, treatment, follow-up, and recurrence duration.RESULTS:
Sixty-six patients with laryngeal MZL, first reported in 1990, were identified. Characterized by its low-grade histological appearance and indolent course, laryngeal MZL is generally confined to the larynx and has an excellent prognosis with radiation used as first-line therapy.CONCLUSIONS:
It is imperative for clinicians to consider lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of a laryngeal tumor from any subsite, as certain pathologies may carry high risks of metastasis.
