Burkitt 림프종은 B림프구 기원의 악성종양으로 비호지킨 림프종(non-Hodgkin's lymphoma)의 한 종류이다. Burkitt 림프종은 임상적으로 아프리카에서 나타나는 지역형(endemic), 세계 각지에서 발생하는 산발형(sporadic), 면역결핍상태와 관련되어 나타나는 형태로 나눌 수 있다. 과거에는 그 예후가 매우 불량했으나, 최근에는 집중적인 화학요법으로 인한 치료 성공률이 50-80%에 달한다. 많은 경우 악골을 포함하고 있으며 임상증상으로는 심하게 흔들리는 치아, 치아의 변위 그리고 치은의 발적 및 부종 등이 있다. 본 증례는 진행속도가 상당히 빠른 Burkitt 림프종에 이환된 환아에 대한 내용이다. 악골에 생긴 병소로 내원하였으며, 치과에서 처음 진단하였고 신속하고 적절한 치료를 통해 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

악성 림프종은 림프 세포와 그들의 전구 세포에 광범위한 증식이 발생하는 종양으로 비호지킨 림프종과 호지킨 림프종으로 크게 나뉠 수 있다. 미만성 큰 B세포 림프종은 비호지킨 림프종에 속하는 림프종으로 구강악안면 영역에서 극히 적은 빈도로 발생한다. 또한 이는 비특이적 증상, 예를 들면 안면부 부종, 통증, 발열 및 체중 감소 등을 가지며 따라서 구강악안면 부위의 다른 염증성 및 감염성 질환과 감별 진단이 매우 중요하다.

Most malignant lymphomas of the head and neck region are non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common subtype. The prevalence of malignant lymphoma among parotid tumors is low, approximately 1% to 4%. The most common symptom of parotid lymphoma is a unilateral, non-tender, firm mass that slowly grows in size over time. As its clinical manifestations are nonspecific, a comprehensive assessment is required for an accurate diagnosis. The initial work-up includes imaging tools, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. However, NHL of the parotid gland is difficult to distinguish from other types of benign tumors prior to biopsy; histopathological evaluation and subsequent immunohistochemical staining are needed for the final diagnosis. Once a definitive diagnosis is established, patients should be referred to an oncologist for staging. Treatment is mainly based on systemic chemotherapy, whereas radiotherapy is indicated for certain cases. Here, we report the case of a 53-year-old man who presented with a progressively enlarging mass in the right parotid area, which was later diagnosed as malignant lymphoma of the parotid gland after superficial parotidectomy.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics of primary extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (pENL) patients, focusing on treatment and survival outcome. Materials and Methods: Between October 2003 and March 2012, 802 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) were diagnosed and treated in two different cancer centers of Southern Turkey. Results: pENL, constituted 12.4% (100/802) of all NHL studied during this period. Median age of the patients was 56 years (range 17-87 years) and the male: female distribution was 3:2. Eighty-five of 100 patients (85%) were in stage I/II, 9/100 (9%) in stage III, whereas 6/100 (6%) were in stage IV. Head and neck constituted the most common site (51/100, 51%), followed by gastrointestinal tract (GIL) (37/100, 37%), and cerebrum (CL) (5/100, 5%). Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the most common histological type, observed in 53% of patients, followed by marginal zone extranodal lymphoma (13%). Most of patients (76%) received a CHOP containing regimen. Complete remission (CR) were achieved in 71% of patients. The median follow-up duration of all patients was reported as 37.6 months (range, 0.8-165 months). This period was reported as 137.5 months (range, 117.5-1578.6 months) in gastrointestinal lymphoma (GIL) patients, 119.0 months (range, 91.8-146.1 months) in head and neck lymphoma (HNL) patients, and 18.4 months (range, 12.6-24.1 months) in cerebral lymphoma (CL) patients. Conclusions: Head and neck, and the gastrointestinal tract were the two most common extranodal sites observed. Histologically DLBC accounted for the majority of cases. Most patients were on earlier stages, had low-low intermediate IPI scores and had a favorable prognosis.

유방의 일차성 비호지킨림프종은 드문 종양으로 유방촬영술과 초음파에서 다양한 영상소견을 보인다. 하지만 자기공명영상소견은 여러개의 증례로만 보고되어 있고, 자기공명분광법과 확산강조영상에 대한 보고는 거의 없다. 저자들은 유방의 일차성 비호지킨림프종을 진단받은 두명의 여자환자의 증례를 기본 자기공명영상에 더하여 자기공명 분광법 및 확산강조 영상소견과 함께 보고하고자 한다. 종양은 유방촬영술과 초음파에서 경계가 좋은 종괴로 나타났으며, 조영증강자기공명영상에서 강한 조영증강을 보였다. 또한 다른 악성종양에서 나타나는 것과 같이 확산강조영상에서는 확산제한을 보이고, 자기공명분광법에서는 콜린값이 증가하는 소견을 보였다.

Background: Hodgkin's lymphoma (formerly, Hodgkins disease) is a potentially curable malignancy with distinctive biological behavior and specific clinical characteristics. Limited information is available from developing countries for patients with classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL). Therefore we reviewed the demographical and clinico-hematological profiles along with bone marrow infiltration patterns in adult patients presenting at Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College. Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional study, 62 adult (${\geq}15years$) patients with cHL were enrolled from January 2010 to December 2014. Results: The mean age was $29.7{\pm}13.8years$ with a median of 30 years. The male to female ratio was 2:1. B symptoms were present in 72.5% of patients and lymph node enlargement in 85.4%. The frequency of bone marrow infiltration in our cHL patients was found to be 27.4%, the pattern being predominantly focal followed by diffuse. The mean hemoglobin was $9.4{\pm}1.9g/dl$ with a mean MCV of $78.1{\pm}7.9fl$, a mean total leukocyte count of $10.9{\pm}20.6{\times}10^9/l$ and a mean platelet count of $241.6{\pm}150.1{\times}10^9/l$. Conclusions: Our analysis shows that clinico-pathological features of cHL in Pakistan are comparable to published data. Peripheral lymphodenopathy associated with B symptoms is the commonest presentation. Bone marrow involvement is more common in our setup as patients usually presented at an advanced stage of disease.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma(ALCL) is an uncommon type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL) populated with anaplastic, often bizarre cells that express CD30 (Ki-1) antigen. The unusual histologic and cytologic features may cause confusion with other neoplasms, such as poorly differentiated carcinoma, melanoma, Hodgkin's disease, or true histiocytic lymphoma. Although the cytologic features of ALCL have been well described, there are few reports about cytologic findings of the sarcomatold variant of ALCL. We experienced a case of fine needle aspiration(FNA) cytologic findings of ALCL which mimicks malignant fibrous histiocytoma. FNA cytology of chest wall mass in a 62-year-old female with a history of peripheral T-cell lymphoma(Lennert lymphoma) revealed a heterogeneous population of single cells and poorly cohesive cells with large, pleomorphic nuclei and spindle cells gathering around vascular structures within an inflammatory background. Additional features of the neoplastic cells were eccentric, multilobated nuclei with occasional 'wreath-like' configuration; abundant cytoplasm with vacuolization; and prominent nucleoli. The cytologic features suggested sarcoma, especially malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The diagnosis was made retrospectively with an aid of immunocytochemical staining.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is known to be a rare and unusual cause of biliary obstruction. We report a case of biliary obstruction that a 25-year-old male showed icteric sclera and yellow discoloration of his skin caused by metastasis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Initial imaging & endoscopic work-up led us to an impression of either cholangiocarcinoma or IgG4-related disease, yet the pathological results weren't diagnostic. Through our thorough re-examination, we found a 5cm sized round, fixed, non-tender sternal mass, and additional imaging studies were suggestive of lymphoma, which was also consistent with the results of incisional chest wall biopsy. Biliary obstruction by lymphoma was successfully treated by endoscopic plastic stent insertion procedure and chemotherapy. Although it is widely accepted that lymphoma accounts for very few portion of malignant biliary obstruction, due to the fact that lymphoma and cholangiocarcinoma are often indistinguishable, careful diagnostic approach should be done.
