Abstract

We report a case of an 88-year-old female who presented to us with dysphagia, change in voice, and stridor, the diagnosis of which turned out to be primary laryngeal lymphoma. It is a rare condition, and repeated biopsies are needed in most of the cases. It has a very good response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
