Abstract
Laryngeal involvement by cutaneous lymphoma is rare; it may be isolated or part of systemic spread. We report a case of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with isolated extracutaneous spread to the larynx, confirmed by the polymerase chain reaction in addition to histology. Awareness of this association may allow early recognition of symptoms heralding laryngeal embarrassment.
