Abstract

Nasal-type extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) rarely involves the vocal cord. Herein, we present a case of an ENKTL patient with vocal cord involvement revealed by FDG PET/CT. Nasopharyngoscopy showed a neoplasm in the larynx, which was eventually confirmed as ENKTL by immunohistochemical results. PET/CT was subsequently performed for staging, and intense FDG uptake in the left side of vocal cord suggested ENKTL involvement.
