Primary malignant lymphoma of the appendix.

M Mori, T Kusunoki, M Kikuchi

    The Japanese Journal of Surgery
    |May 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare case of primary appendiceal lymphoma in a 70-year-old woman showed a good prognosis. Surgical resection alone led to a 36-month disease-free survival, highlighting effective treatment for this extranodal lymphoma.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Primary malignant lymphoma of the appendix is an extremely rare gastrointestinal malignancy.
    • Extranodal lymphomas require accurate classification for prognostic assessment and treatment planning.

    Observation:

    • A 70-year-old Japanese woman presented with primary malignant lymphoma of the appendix.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed post-operatively via histological examination.

    Findings:

    • The tumor was classified as a well-differentiated lymphocytic malignant lymphoma using Rappaport's classification.
    • The patient underwent ileocecal resection as the sole treatment, without adjuvant radiochemotherapy.
    • A 36-month follow-up confirmed no recurrence or metastasis, indicating a favorable outcome.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests that ileocecal resection may be a sufficient treatment for well-differentiated, extranodal appendiceal lymphoma.
    • Highlights the importance of accurate histological classification in determining prognosis and guiding therapeutic strategies for rare lymphomas.
    • Supports the potential for successful management of select extranodal lymphomas without aggressive multimodal therapy.
