Abstract

Lymphomas are a diverse group of neoplastic disorders arising primarily in lymph nodes. They have been majorly classified into Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphomas(NHL). NHL can be of B, T and Null cell categories having further subtypes based on their histological characteristics. Lymphomas can be nodal and extra nodal. The head and neck area are the second most common site of extra nodal lymphoma, with tonsils being the most common site of involvement; other sites include the nasopharynx and tongue base. B- Cell type being the most common type. Predominantly occurs in elderly. Presentations depends on the site involved. Various modalities like surgical treatment, chemotherapy (or) radiotherapy is available. Each stage has varied survival rates and prognosis and responses to the treat depending on the patient factors. In this paper, we report two cases of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma of tonsil, where the preoperative clinical diagnosis and radiological diagnosis was inconclusive and final diagnosis was established based on histopathological examination.

两例非霍奇金淋巴瘤的不寻常表现：病例报告。

淋巴瘤是一类主要发生在淋巴结的肿瘤性疾病。淋巴瘤主要分为霍奇金淋巴瘤和非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）。非霍奇金淋巴瘤可分为 B、T 和 Null 细胞类，根据其组织学特征还可进一步分为亚型。淋巴瘤可分为结节型和结节外型。头颈部是结外淋巴瘤的第二大常见部位，扁桃体是最常见的受累部位；其他部位包括鼻咽部和舌根部。最常见的类型是 B 细胞型。主要发生在老年人身上。表现取决于受累部位。可采用手术治疗、化疗（或）放疗等多种方式。每个阶段的存活率、预后和对治疗的反应各不相同，这取决于患者的因素。本文报告了两例扁桃体非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者，术前临床诊断和放射学诊断均不确定，最终诊断是根据组织病理学检查确定的。
