The first reported case of vincristine-induced unilateral vocal cord palsy in an adult patient with HIV-associated Burkitt-like lymphoma being treated with dose-escalated R-EPOCH.

Abstract

Vincristine-induced vocal cord palsy (VCP) is a rare but critical complication. Prompt recognition of VCP is imperative. Vincristine-induced VCP is reversible, and a complete remission of a lymphoma is still feasible upon withdrawal of vincristine from the chemotherapeutic regimen early in the course of treatment.
