Abstract
- Objectives: To report a case of laryngeal involvement of mycosis fungoides and its symptomatic treatment with laser-assisted surgical ablation.<br />Methods: Case report and literature review.<br />Results: A 76-year-old woman with longstanding MF previously treated with Brentuximab Vedotin who developed persistent cough and dysphonia. The patient's laryngeal disease burden was treated with KTP-laser ablation and further reduced with doxorubicin and radiotherapy.<br />Conclusions: Although laryngeal, and especially glottic, involvement is a rare finding, suspicion should be maintained in symptomatic patients with cutaneous mycosis fungoides. This the first reported surgical laser treatment of laryngeal symptoms in this context, which can greatly improve a patient's quality of life.
