Primary malignant lymphoma rarely presents as a mass in the salivary gland. It accounts for about 1% of salivary gland tumors. The lymphomas of the parotid gland are mainly non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of B-cell follicular type. It usually occurs in male adults and is very rare in children. In contrast to the intractable disease course of adult parotid follicular lymphoma, when occurred in children or adolescent, its prognosis is very good when it is first treated with surgical excision. Thus, a solitary follicular lymphoma in an extranodal site that has occurred in children is termed separately as pediatric follicular lymphoma (PFL). We share our treatment experience of a 16-year-old PFL patient through surgical removal combined with superficial parotidectomy. In line with the few previous case reports of PFL, we suggest that active surgical removal should be undertaken for solitary, extranodal follicular lymphoma of the pediatric and adolescent population.

목적: 악성 림프종 환자에서 골수 침범 여부를 평가하는 데 있어 FDG PET 스캔의 유용성을 장골 골수 생검에 비교하여 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 73명의 림프종 환자(남:녀=43:30, 평균 연령 47세)를 대상으로 하였다. 이 중 69명은 비호지킨성 림프종이었으며 4명은 호지킨성 림프종이었다. FDG PET은53명의 환자에서 병기 결정을 목적으로, 20명에서는 치료후 효과 평가를 위해 시행되었다. 골수 침범에 대한 최종 판정은 두 검사의 일치성으로 판단되었으며 서로 다른 경우엔 장골 골수 생검, 방사선 검사 소견, 그리고 추적 검사에 의해 결정되었다. 결과: 73명중 54명(74%)에 있어 FDG PET과 장골 골수 검사 결과가 일치하였다. 두 검사 모두 음성인 환자는 54명중 47명이었으며 모두 양성인 환자는 7명이었다. 두 검사가 불일치 하는 경우는 19명 이었으며 이 중 6명은 골수 검사는 음성이었으나 FDG PET에서 양성 소견을 보였다. 반대로 12명에서는 FDG PET은 음성이었으나 장골 골수 생검상 골수 침범이 확인되었다. 불일치 결과를 보인 19명 중 마지막 1명의 환자에서는 골수 생검상 음성이었으나 FDG PET에서 위양성 소견을 보였다. 결론: FDG PET은 림프종 환자의 병기 결정에 있어 장골 골수 검사상 발견되지 않은 골수 침윤을 발견하는 데 도움이 되어 골수 생검에 보조적인 역할이 있었다. PET 검사상 횡격막 상하 림파절 침범과 다수의 골수 병변이 있는 환자에 있어 골수 생검의 필요성에 대해서는 치료 방침이나 예후를 변화시킬 수 있는지의 여부를 보는 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다. 치료후 효과를 판정하는 데 있어 FDG PET은 골수의 현미경학적 잔존 질환을 평가하는 데 있어 골수 생검을 대체하기는 어려울 것으로 사료된다.

In clinical radiotherapy, the use of wide and irregular field techniques frequently results in considerable tumor dose inhomogeneity because of, the variation in physical characteristics of irradiated volumes. This report describes an analysis of the dosimetry of the irregular fields such as radiation fields for Hodgkin's disease(mantle field), esophageal cancer, and lung cancer when a 6 MV and a 15 MV linear accelerators are utilized. Doses were measured in a Rando phantom using methods of thermoluminescence dosimetry(TLD), and were calculated by radiotherapy planning computer system with the Clarkson's method for calculation of a irregular field. A dose variation of $5-22\%,\;6-9\%,\;6-14\%$ were found in the mantle field, esophageal cancer field, lung cancer field respectively. Higher doses occurred in the superior portion of the irregular field. The sites of maximum dose variation were the supraclavicular and the upper spinal cord region. To adjust for these substantial differences, a compensator or a shrinking field technique should be adopted.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare subtype of B-cell neoplasm and it accounts for about 3~6% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. It occurs mainly in middle-aged or elderly man, involving the extra-nodal sites such as gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow and Waldeyer's ring. The incidence of the MCL in salivary gland is about 3%. The blastoid MCL is a rare variant and it has a very aggressive clinical course. It is extremely rare to be arising from the parotid gland. To our knowledge, similar case has not been reported in domestic literature, one case has been described in English literature. We experienced a rare and unique disease entity and report it with brief literature review.

Purpose: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is highly sensitive to radiotherapy (RT). However, the effectiveness of RT has not been well established. We reviewed our experiences to assess the role of RT for FL and analyze treatment results. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis was done on 29 patients who received first RT between January 2003 and August 2013. Of 23 early stage (stage I, II) patients, 16 received RT alone, four received chemotherapy followed by RT, two received RT postoperatively, and one received salvage RT for relapse after resection. Six advanced-stage (stage III, IV) patients received RT after chemotherapy: two received consolidation RT, three received salvage RT for residual lesions, and one received RT for progressive sites. Median RT dose was 30.6 Gy (range, 21.6 to 48.6 Gy). Median follow-up duration was 62 months (range, 6 to 141 months). Results: All patients showed complete response in the radiation field. Eight outfield relapses were reported. Seven patients received salvage treatment (three chemotherapy, four RT). Four patients showed excellent responses, especially to RT. Estimated 5-year and 10-year relapse-free survivals were 72% and 60%. In the RT-alone group, 5-year relapse-free survival was 74.5%. All advanced-stage patients were disease-free with 100% 5-year overall survival. Disease-specific death was noted in only one patient; four others died of other unrelated causes. No significant toxicity was reported. Conclusion: RT resulted in excellent treatment outcomes for all FL stages when used as a primary treatment modality for early stage or salvage-treatment modality for advanced-stage disease.

Progressive transformation of germinal centers(PTGC) is a rare benign lymph node enlargement characterized by chronic lymphadenopathy and the presence of germinal centers with fused and expanded mantles within a lymph node that are 3-5 times the size of a typical reactive follicle. Although PTGC is reported in 3.5-10% of chronic lymphadenopathy, head and neck surgeons do not often experience this condition and its clinical implications. Althoug PTGC is benign disease, it could not be excluded the association with other malignant lymphoid diseases. Therefore, periodic follow up of PTGC patient could be required. We report two cases at this study ; a 16 years old man who visited out-patient clinic due to palpable mass of right cervical area, several months ago, and a 35 years old man who visited out-patient clinic for evaluating right cervical mass. Both of two patients were diagnosed with PTGC. In this study, we focus on the clinic-pathologic features of this uncommon disease along with other literature reviews.

Histologically proven 465 cases of neck mass in children were analized for the determination of the nature of lesions. Pathologic specimens were obtained during 10 years from January 1981 to December 1989 at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University, College of Medicine. 1) Congenital lesion was most common in neonate(80%) and congenital lesion and inflamatory disease were common in infancy and inflammatory disease was most common in more than one year old children. Thyroglossal duct cyst was most common(35.4%) disease of the congenital lesion. followed by cytic hygroma(34%) and branchial cleft remnants(29.2%). 2) Benign tumors were discovered most frequently in adolescence (55.2%) and thyroid adenoma(23.7%) and epithelial tumor(21.1%) and hemangiomas(19.7%) were most common. Most common malignant tumors were malignant lymphoma (50%) and Hodgkin's disease and were present in the older children. Metastatic cancers were very rare and their primary sites were deductable in all cases. 3) Reactive hyperplasia of lymph node was most common in inflammatory disease(23.7%). Tuberculosis lymphadenitis was more common than nonspecific lymphadenitis. 4) Bilaterality of lesion was commonly seen in malignant disease(41.7%), reactive hyperplasia of lymph node (38.85%) and metastatic disease(33.3%). Size and duration of the masses were not helpful in the differential diagnosis of the cause of the masses. Pediatric neck mass must be evaluated with its characteristics. sites, bilaterality, size and its cange, duration and patient's age but any of these alone cant not be predicted its causes without biopsy or excision. Biopsy or excision can be done with few complication but biopsy of lymph node for diagnosis is carefully made because a large number of lymph node biopsy showed no definite diagnosis in these selected cases of patients.
