Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) commonly show extranodal involvement (20–30%). Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) with extranodal localization represent clinically and molecularly distinct entities. Here, we present a case of DLBCL affecting the parotid gland that initially seemed to be sialadenitis. The magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans showed a neoplastic mass in the parotid gland and involvement of the spleen, respectively. The immunohistochemistry (IHC) confirmed the diagnosis of DLBCL. The patient was treated successfully with chemotherapy. A high degree of skepticism is involved in an early diagnosis of NHL as it can mimic benign and malignant entities.
非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)通常表现为结节外受累(20%-30%)。结节外定位的原发性弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)在临床和分子上都是不同的实体。在此,我们介绍一例腮腺受累的 DLBCL,起初似乎是腮腺炎。磁共振成像(MRI)和正电子发射断层扫描(PET)分别显示腮腺有肿瘤性肿块和脾脏受累。免疫组化(IHC)确诊为 DLBCL。患者接受了成功的化疗。由于 NHL 可模拟良性和恶性实体,因此在早期诊断 NHL 时应持高度怀疑态度。
