Extranodal marginal zone B‐cell lymphoma of mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue in the oromaxillofacial head and neck region: A retrospective analysis of 105 patients

AbstractMarginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALToma) arises in extranodal sites in the head and neck. Chronic inflammatory, infectious or autoimmune conditions are implicated in its pathogenesis. Within the head and neck, MALToma is often multifocal and indolent and the imaging appearances may be mistaken for non-malignant disease in the head and neck. The aim of this article is to illustrate the varied radiological and clinical features of MALToma in the head and neck, an awareness of which is needed for timely and correct diagnosis to guide subsequent disease management.

18544 Background: Primary extranodal lymphomas of the head and neck region constitute 10–20% of all NHLs. Since they are frequently encountered as localised disease, radiotherapy accounts for the important part in the treatment although other modalities are also available. Cases with the diagnosis of primary extranodal lymphomas of the head and neck region, who administered to our clinic were evaluated retrospectively and presented here. Materials and Methods: Total 13 patients who administered to the Radiation Oncology Clinic of Kartal Education and Research Hospital between years 2000 and 2005, with the diagnosis of primary extranodal lymphoma of the head and neck region were enrolled into the study. All information was gathered from the patients‘ files and evaluated in the electronic environment. Results: Median age was 61 (36–80). Nine patients (69%) were female, and 4 patients (41%) were male. Primary site was found to be tonsil in 8 cases (61%), nasopharynx in 4 cases (30%), and thyroid in one case (7%). Of the 13 cases, 5 (38%) had stage 1, 4 (30%) stage II, 3 (23%) stage III, and 1 (9%) stage IV diseases. Histological type was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in 8 patients (7 originating from tonsil, 1 from thyroid), T-cell lymphoma in 2 patients (originating from nasopharynx), poorly differentiated histiocytic lymphoma in 1 patient (originating from nasopharynx), and diffuse mixed large B-cell and small B-cell lymphoma in 1 patient. Therapeutic approach was CT+RT in 7 cases, CT+RT+surgery in 3 cases, CT+ surgery in 1 case, RT+ surgery in 1 case, and CT alone in 1 case. Total 44 Gy RT was performed in 22 fractions to involved fields and regional lymph nodes by using cobalt 60 machine. Median 4 cycles of CT that consisted of CHOP were performed to the patients. Of the 13 patients 10 are still under control with no medical problem. One patient with stage 4 disease was lost under treatment after 3 cycles of CT. One case with nasopharyngeal lymphoma was referred due to progression after 2 series of CT, and died 1 month after palliative RT. One case with stage IB tonsil lymphoma received 2 cycles of CT+ RT+ 2 cycles of CT, and died of other medical reason during her 12th month follow up period. Conclusion: Primary extranodal lymphomas of the head and neck region constitute a heterogeneous group of patients, and RT represents an important part of the treatment. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Latar belakang: Kadar serum CA 125 telah diketahui mengalami peningkatan pada kasus limfoma non Hodgkin. Kegunaannya dalam menentukan prognosis, tingkat keparahan penyakit, dan follow up pasca terapi limfoma non Hodgkin telah banyak diteliti dan masih didapatkan hasil yang bervariasi. Saat ini belum diketahui mengenai kadar serum CA 125 pada kasus diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) yang bermanifestasi di regio kepala dan leher. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan kadar serum CA 125 dengan karakteristik klinis pada kasus DLBCL regio kepala dan leher. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian potong lintang yang melibatkan 31 subjek penelitian dengan diagnosis DLBCL regio kepala dan leher. Dilakukan pencatatan karakteristik klinis dan penentuan kadar serum CA 125 dengan pemeriksaan Immunoasai dan kemudian dilakukan analisis statistik untuk menentukan hubungan antar variabel. Hasil: Didapatkan peningkatan kadar serum CA 125 pada stadium lanjut dengan p<0,001. Analisis statistik terhadap kadar serum CA 125 dan Kadar Lactic Dehydrogenase (LDH) menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan (p=0,018) demikian juga hubungannya dengan skorEastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) dengan nilai p=0,001. Pada penelitian ini tidak terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara kadar serum CA 125 dengan skor Prognostic International Index (IPI). Kesimpulan: Kadar serum CA 125 berhubungan bermakna dengan stadium klinis, kadar LDH dan Skor ECOG pada DLBCL yang bermanifestasi di regio kepala dan leher. Dengan demikian CA 125 dapat digunakan sebagai marker untuk memprediksi prognosis dan mendekati stadium lanjut kasus limfoma non Hodgkin. Background: Serum CA 125 level has been known to increase in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma cases.Many studies had elaborately researched the prognosis, disease severity and the follow up of Non Hodgkin Lymphoma cases using CA 125, yet the results had been varied. Up to now, serum CA 125 levels in cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) which manifest in the head and neck region, is still unclear. Purpose: To find out the correlation of serum CA 125 levels with clinical manifestations of DLBCL cases in the head and neck region. Method: A cross-sectional study involving 31 subjects diagnosed with DLBCL in the head and neck region. The clinical manifestations were recorded and serum CA 125 levels were obtained by Immunoassay examination. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the correlation between variables. Results: An increase in serum CA 125 levels at an advanced stage with p <0.001. The statistical result of CA 125 serum levels and LDH levels showed a significant correlation (p=0.018), as well as its significant correlation with the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, with p=0.001. In this study there was no significant correlation between CA 125 serum levels and Prognostic International Index (IPI) scores. Conclusion: Serum CA 125 levels were significantly correlated with clinical stage, LDH level and ECOG score of DLBCL which manifested in the head and neck region. Therefore, CA 125 might be used as a marker to predict prognosis and to detect advanced disease in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma cases.
