Authors: JEFFREY T. FIERSTEIN MD, STANLEY E. THAWLEY MD

Abstract

This paper reviews the otolaryngologic manifestations of acute leukemia and lymphoma. Our experience includes 50 patients with acute leukemia and 61 patients with lymphoma of the head and neck. Acute leukemia was manifested by infection, bleeding, tissue infiltration, and complications of chemotherapy. Lymphoma manifestations were usually head and neck masses. The otolaryngologist must be familiar with the manifestations of these disease entities.
