[Lymphosarcoma--nodular form, localized in cervical region].

Abstract

The authors describe three patients with lymphosarcoma--nodular form for a 13-year period, involving the cervical lymph nodes. The rarity of the disease is emphasized as well as the difficulties in the differential diagnosis with the chronic sialadenitis and lymphopathies. The clinical interpretation of the disease is difficult because of the lack of specificity in the clinical course and paraclinical studies. The accurate diagnosis is only possible by a pathohistological study. The authors underine that the nodular form of lymphosarcoma should be given consideration in the differential diagnosis of the diseases of lymph apparatus in cervical region.
