This study analyzed 540 malignant lymphomas in Korea, finding non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (82%) more common than Hodgkin's disease (18%). Diffuse histiocytic lymphoma was the most frequent non-Hodgkin's type.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Malignant lymphoma is a significant malignancy in Korea.
  • Previous epidemiological data on lymphoma subtypes in Korea is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a histological analysis of malignant lymphoma cases.
  • To determine the relative frequencies of different lymphoma subtypes in Korea.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective histological study.
  • Analysis of 540 malignant lymphoma cases diagnosed between 1976 and 1986.
  • Classification based on established histological criteria.

Main Results:

  • Malignant lymphoma constituted 3.07% of all malignancies in Korea during the study period.

  • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) accounted for 82% of cases, Hodgkin's disease (HD) for 18%.
  • Diffuse histiocytic lymphoma was the most common NHL subtype; T-cell lymphomas represented 9.6% of NHLs, with lymphoblastic lymphoma being most frequent. Follicular lymphoma was rare (2.3%). Mixed cellularity was the most common HD subtype.

    • Conclusions:

    • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the predominant type of malignant lymphoma in Korea.
    • Specific subtypes like diffuse histiocytic lymphoma and lymphoblastic lymphoma are prevalent.
    • Further research into rare subtypes and specific T-cell lymphomas is warranted.
