We report a case of B-cell lymphoma with the larynx as the primary site of presentation in a rheumatoid arthritis patient previously treated with methotrexate. Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) of the larynx is rare. There may be an increased risk of lymphoma in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with an even higher risk in those patients treated with methotrexate. The diagnostic and treatment options are discussed.
