Synchronous Occurrence of B-Cell Non Hodgkin Lymphoma and Metastatic Small Cell Carcinoma of Lung

CT-guided FNAC is an important method in which aspiration of materials done from deep structure of the body. Now a day, it is a useful tool for diagnosis of lung lesion. This study was done in the department of Pathology, Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College & Hospital (KYAMCH), a rural tertiary hospital in Bangladesh. A total of 330 cases from January 2008 to December 2013 were evaluated in this study. Of these, 93 (28.20%) were adenocarcinoma, 66 (20%) were squamous cell carcinoma, 35(10.6%) were small cell carcinoma, 31 (9.4%) were non-small cell carcinoma, 03 (0.9%) were non-hodgkin lymphoma, 57 (17.3%) were inflammatory, 24 (7.3%) were tuberculosis and others were 21 (6.4%). The mean age±SD of patients was 58.92±12.92 years. Incidence of malignancy was quite similar in compare to previous study. So in case of any suspicious lesion or growth of lung, CT- guided FNAC should be done for diagnosis and also to exclude malignancy that will help to reduce patients' morbidity and mortality.KYAMC Journal Vol. 6, No.-1, Jul 2015, Page 562-564

History Of

We report a case of primary temporal bone diffuse B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is a rare entity. A 71-year-old male with a history of dementia and hemicraniectomy presented due to 1 month of a pronounced left ulcerative mastoid lesion. Strikingly, there were no cranial nerve deficits which was unexpected due to the degree of the lesion. Initially, infectious mastoiditis was suspected based on physical examination alone. Due to the patient being a poor historian, it was difficult to determine whether this was an acute or chronic issue. Temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma, infectious mastoiditis, and actinomycosis were on the differential, but biopsies revealed non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
