A Rare Case of Laryngeal Non-IgM Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma.
Curēus 2022 September
Laryngeal lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma has been previously reported only a handful of times in the literature. It can be difficult to diagnose without significant histologic workup and proper methodology. Here, we demonstrate the first known case of laryngeal lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with non-immunoglobulin M (IgM) features. In this case report, a 79-year-old female with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis presented with five months of dysphonia and dyspnea on exertion. Lab studies revealed high levels of serum IgA and IgG. Flexible laryngoscopy and computed tomography of the neck showed a left supraglottic submucosal mass, which was surgically excised with a carbon dioxide laser. The histology of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. The patient was treated with 30.6 Gy of radiation therapy and eight cycles of rituximab with successful remission of her lymphoma and no evidence of disease recurrence six months after treatment completion. Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma without corresponding IgM gammopathy is unusual and has been shown to have a higher frequency of extramedullary involvement. This is the first known manifestation of non-IgM lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma in the larynx.
