Abstract
From July 1969 to November 1991, 4 patients with primary malignant lymphoma of the larynx were treated.
One case was received radiotherapy and followed-up survey for 20 years being healthy, 3 case were received radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A total dose of 45 – 60 Gy was delivered. The disease can be classified four clinical types: (1) localized laryngeal lymphoma; (2) cephalocevical and larynx lymphoma; (3) laryngeal pieces region lymphoma; and (4) laryngeal pieces wildly spreaded lymphoma. The favorable prognostic factors were clinical course, clinical staging and the mode of treatment.
