Introduction: Lymphoma represents less than 1% of malignant laryngeal tumors. and the main site in larynx is in supraglottis. The symptoms are very interspecific and the diagnosis is a challenge. Case: A 23 years old man, healthy, referring dysphonia and globus for 2 months. CT and nasofibrolaryngoscopy showed a supraglottic mass without any specific features. Patient was underwent to biopsy which diagnosed non- Hodgkin's large cell B lymphoma. Conclusion: The diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma laryngeal is a challenge to the otolaryngologist, since, usually, patients present with nonspecific complaints or systemic signs suggestive of this condition and the diagnosis is done only by biopsy
