Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) can present with diverse clinical manifestations.
  • The head and neck region, particularly the nasal cavity, can be a primary site for NHL.
  • Understanding the clinical course and presentation of NHL is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical course and presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in patients treated at the Hospital General de Mexico.
  • To identify the most frequent clinical symptoms and primary sites of NHL in the studied cohort.
  • To correlate clinical findings with lymphoma grade and immunophenotype.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 49 patients diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

  • Data collection included clinical symptoms, primary site of presentation, lymphoma grade (New Working Formulation), stage (Ann Arbor), and immunophenotype.
  • Analysis of clinical course and literature review.

    • Main Results:

    • Nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, fever, weight loss, cervical lymphadenopathy, rhinopharyngeal tumor, palatal ulceration, and periorbital cellulitis were common symptoms.
    • The nasal cavity was the primary presentation site in 73% of patients.
    • 66% were intermediate grade, 33% were stage I B, and 63% were B-cell immunotype.

    Conclusions:

    • The nasal cavity is a frequent primary site for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
    • Clinical symptoms such as nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea warrant thorough investigation for underlying lymphoma.
    • Early recognition of these symptoms can lead to improved patient outcomes.
