Rare clinical case of diffuse B-large cell lymphoma with laryngeal lesion

Abstract

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common variant of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and accounts for 30–60% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, with increasing incidence increases with age. Currently, the prognosis is assessed using the International Prognostic Index. In recent years, in all European regions, there has been a significant improvement in survival in DLBCL due to the addition of rituximab to standard chemotherapy (CHOP protocol). However, despite significant advances in treatment, long-term remission is only achieved in half of the patients. Laryngeal lesions with this variant of lymphomas is described only in a few articles. There is evidence of various chemotherapeutic regimens effective in this type of lymphoma; in some publications, the authors suggest the use of radiation therapy.

The article presents a clinical case of successful treatment of a patient (chemotherapy + radiation therapy) with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with laryngeal involvement. with resulting remission. In addition, a review of the literature describing the most common types of lymphomas is presented. The authors set a goal to raise the awareness of physicians about a rare histological variant of laryngeal tumors with a rapid increase in clinical manifestations and the development of life-threatening conditions.
