Hematopoietic neoplasms represent about 1% of all laryngeal neoplasms. MALT lymphoma arises from mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue and is associated with chronic inflammatory disease. Patients with Sjogren syndrome have a higher risk for development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (MALT lymphoma). To date, only cases of MALT lymphoma of the salivary glands, thymus and stomach associated with Sjogren syndrome have been published. We present the case of a MALT lymphoma of the larynx associated with Sjogren syndrome. Radiation and chemotherapy are the first line of therapy as published in the literature.
