Abstract

|
Lymphoma is a malignant tumor arising from the lymphoid tissue. Chronic inflammation canmake lymphocyte accumulation and proliferation in the mucous membrane. Sustained accumulationof these persistent changes in the lymphoid tissues may be responsible for the developmentof mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Although multiple cranialnerve palsy have been reported in various lymphoma, it has never been reported in MALTlymphoma. A 39-year-old man reported of facial palsy and subsequent vocal fold palsy.
MALT lymphoma was diagnosed as involving the parotid gland, nasopharynx, and the skullbase. Vocal palsy and facial palsy were successfully recovered after chemotherapy.
