Abstract
|
|
|
Lymphoma means any kind of malignant tumor of the human lymphatic system. Hodgkin’s disease usually occurs in
cervical, axillary or groin lymph nodes. In about 1% of Hodgkin’s disease, it can involve extranodal lymphatic system
such as the GI tract, skin, palatine tonsil, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, etc. But Hodgkin’s disease of the epi-glottis is an
extremely rare entity and no document in the literature we found. Recently, we experienced a case of Hodgkin’s
disease of the epiglottis which was confirmed by excisional biopsy. The authors report the first case of Hodgkin’s
disease of the epiglottis in Korea with a review of literature.
