Objectives:
To retrospectively analyze the general characteristics of MALT lymphoma in the head and neck and provide clinicians with new ideas for diagnosis and treatment.
Materials And Methods:
114 (94.2%) of 121 complete follow-up data were obtained. A single-center retrospective study was conducted on 114 patients with MALT diagnosed from 2010 to 2020.
Results:
42 (36.8%) of 114 patients had Sjogren's syndrome before, and there is a significant difference in gender between SS-MALT and non-SS-MALT. As for the treatment method, there is no significant difference in the overall survival between surgery with or without chemoradiotherapy.
Conclusion:
MALT lymphoma of the head and neck is clinically characterized by a favorable prognosis, always associated with SS. Surgery with or without chemoradiotherapy has little difference in the prolongation of survival time.
