ABSTRACT
Lymphoma is a malignant tumor arising from the lymphoid tissue. Chronic inflammation can make lymphocyte accumulation and proliferation in the mucous membrane. Sustained accumulation of these persistent changes in the lymphoid tissues may be responsible for the development of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Although multiple cranial nerve palsy have been reported in various lymphoma, it has never been reported in MALT lymphoma. A 39-year-old man reported of facial palsy and subsequent vocal fold palsy. MALT lymphoma was diagnosed as involving the parotid gland, nasopharynx, and the skull base. Vocal palsy and facial palsy were successfully recovered after chemotherapy.
