Surgery in head and neck lymphomas.

J D Osguthorpe, D Rice, W Y Adkins

    Southern Medical Journal
    |November 1, 1982

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Surgical resection of IgM-producing parapharyngeal lymphoma led to the prompt resolution of secondary glomerulonephritis and anasarca. This suggests a potential adjunctive role for surgery in localized head and neck lymphomas.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Nephrology
    • Head and Neck Surgery

    Background:

    • Lymphomas are typically treated with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy.
    • Surgery is generally reserved for cases where a percutaneous biopsy cannot establish a histologic diagnosis, except for Burkitt's tumor.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with glomerulonephritis and anasarca secondary to an IgM-producing parapharyngeal lymphoma.
    • The patient underwent an excisional biopsy, removing all palpable tumor.

    Findings:

    • Following tumor resection, the patient's monoclonal gammopathy and nephrosis resolved promptly.
    • The patient achieved a three-year remission with subsequent chemotherapy and mantle irradiation.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Surgical resection may offer adjunctive benefits for localized head and neck lymphomas.
  • Further research is needed to determine if surgical intervention improves local failure rates compared to non-surgical therapies.
  • The therapeutic gain of adding surgery must be weighed against the potential morbidity of combined treatment modalities.
