| Popis: | Malignant lymphomas and leukemias rarely involve the upper airway. This report documents a unique presentation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia as an obstructing, subglottic mass. The airway was maintained by tracheotomy tube while cobalt irradiation successfully reduced the tumor. The systemic manifestations of chronic lymphocytic leukemia were managed by conventional methods. |
