Otolaryngologic manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux. There was no cervical adenopathy, and CT of the thorax and abdomen was negative. MCLs in the tongue base are even rarer. 2). Patricia Uherova et al. The therapeutic response is related to the pathological subtype and several factors, such as old age, high grade histology, bulky lymph nodes, higher IPI score, and advanced stage [22, 24, 25]. Samples were assayed using a BOND HPV probe set specific to HPV subtypes 16, 18, 31, 33 and 51 (Bond Ready-to-Use ISH HPV Probe, CAT # PB0829) on the Leica BOND-MAX system. 2000;46:2112. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis using Break Apart FISH Probes was used to detect BCL2, BCL6 and cMYC gene rearrangements. Acta Ophthalmol. Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia is generally not malignant, but in rare cases an association has been observed. a. MRI showed a mass in the base of the tongue sticking to the pharyngeal cavity and making it obviously narrow. In our case, the late stage of disease, the morphologically blastic variant [44], and involvement of neck lymph nodes were all factors that contributed to poor prognosis of this patient. The exceptional case here was a 45-year-old male patient with diffuse large B cell lymphoma who presented with only deep painful mouth ulcers and general symptoms, including sore throat, choking when drinking water, and difficulty swallowing. Article Lopez-Guillermo et al. The follicles are cytologically polymorphous, are often polarized, and vary in size and shape. Maheshwari GK, Baboo HA, Gopal U, Wadhwa MK.

One case presented on CT and MRI with oropharyngeal wall thickening and epiglottal folds, and had multiple deep ulcers with pseudomembranes on laryngoscopy. Globus pharyngeus: a review of its etiology, diagnosis and treatment. Extranodal lymphomas of the head and neck. HPV is considered to be associated with the occurrence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma [8], therefore, we detected the infection status of the the two viruses in lymphoma of the base of the tongue. the ENT DR was lovely. As seen in Figure 1, the soft palate, uvula, and posterior pharynx demonstrate multiple areas of enlargement that are consistent with lymphoid tissue. PMC Indian J Cancer.

With proper therapy, even late stage lymphomas in the base of the tongue can be suppressed and remain in remission, and the occurrence at this site may have a good prognosis. Jain KS, Sikora AG, Baxi SS, Morris LG. [3] Follicular hyperplasia must be distinguished from follicular lymphoma (bcl-2 protein is expressed in neoplastic follicles, but not reactive follicles). For NHL of the head and neck, there is a logarithmic increase in incidence with increasing age [18] .The average age at disease diagnosis was 61.8years and there were no observed gender differences. Positive nucleolus staining was used to identify Bcl-6, mum-1, CyclinD1, SOX11 and Ki-67. Abstract. Patient ages ranged from the thirties to the nineties, with an average age of 61.8years. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2003-05-1545. 2000;21:2716.

What are the symptoms and prognosis for a benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia of the neck lymph node? Two probes (EBV and HPV) were used for all seven cases. These lymphoid tissues are controlled by specialized cells that arm themselves to attack and destroy foreign invaderssuch as bacteria, fungi, or virusesthrough phagocytosis or the production of antibodies. Imaging and pathological findings of PTCL (case 3). 2023 Endeavor Business Media, LLC. Arch Pathol Lab Med. This report adds valuable knowledge to the possible virus infection status of tongue NHL, due to its rare occurrence. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. While the etiology is poorly understood, a number of previous theories exist, which are included here in the context of a literature review. Terms and Conditions, L. P. Menasce, J. H. Shanks, S. S.

What does prominent lymphoid tissue at base of tongue on an MRI report mean. Objective: This paper describes a case where a patient diagnosed with tongue base lymphoid hyperplasia was successfully treated with radiofrequency excision and interstitial radiofrequency-induced thermotherapy. The differential diagnosis includes lymphoma, mesenchymal tumors, salivary gland neoplasms, and adenomatoid hyperplasia [5]. Accessibility This is because reactive growth of lymphoid tissue can be difficult to distinguish from the most serious neoplastic lesions.1. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma of the ocular adnexal region, and lymphoma of the lacrimal gland: an investigation of clinical and histopathological features. This may have been due to the expression of the cytotoxic marker TIA, Granzyme B, and a much higher Ki-67 index (80%), which may indicate a poor prognosis [41].

This distribution is similar to that in previous reports [18,19,20,21,22] .The most common location was the base of the tongue. In summary, NHLs in the base of the tongue are rare with nonspecific symptoms of oropharyngeal discomfort, and they could present with normal-like mucosal surfaces. Tumours in this site are predominantly DLBCL subtypes in histology. DLBCL with high risk factors and MCL may have unfavourable outcomes. 4 Metrics Downloaded 279 times PDF download Lopez-Guillermo A, Colomo L, Jimenez M, Bosch F, Villamor N, Arenillas L, Muntanola A, Montoto S, Gine E, Colomer D, Bea S, Campo E, Montserrat E.

The tongue has a rich network of lymphatics that drain to neck levels I-III, which is the usual pattern of spread when these tumors metastasize. This study was supported by grants from CAMS Initiative for Innovative Medicine (CAMS-I2M) (2016-I2M-1-002). The cortex is also divided into outer cortex and inner cortex (also known as the paracortex). Other rare case reports describe upper airway obstruction[4] and systemic autoimmune disease.[5]. J Clin Oncol. Only one widely disseminated case has been referenced, which involved cervical nodes, major salivary glands, orbits, and mediastinum [4]. The condition mainly affects adult patients, ranging. Polyclonal lymphoid proliferation with immunohistochemistry stains for kappa or lambda light chains are diagnostic.

Carcinomas of the base of the tongue: diagnosis using double-contrast radiography of the pharynx. In the orofacial region, RLH most often occurs in the oropharynx, Waldeyers tonsillar ring, the soft palate, the lateral tongue, and the floor of the mouth.2 Waldeyers ring includes the lingual and palatine tonsils, the adenoids, lymphoid follicles located on the posterolateral tongue in the area of the foliate papillae, and level 1 lymph nodes in the floor of the mouth. The lymphoid follicles at the base of the tongue can be detected when examining the pharynx of adults, but the presence of large follicles, denoted "severe" hypertrophy of the base of the tongue (HBT) is rare.
