Leuk Res. Squamous cell hyperplasia in the oral cavity is seen most commonly on the tongue, palate, and lateral wall of the pharynx. In the literature, the patients with peripheral T cell lymphoma of the tongue base were middle aged with no obvious differences in gender distribution. 1),and two cases expressed c-Myc(>40%). J Oral Maxillofac Pathol. e. Tumour cells were positive for CD4 (200x). The airway was subsequently secured, and the procedure was undertaken. The most common histologic subtype was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which occurred in five cases. 2007;86:35660. As shown in Table1, all primary lesion locations were considered at the base of the tongue. Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. 1999;21:24754. https://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/djn011. None of the seven patients presented systemic symptoms (body weight loss, fever and night sweating). Lymphoid hyperplasia at the base of the tongue. The site is secure. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol. When oral aggregates appear in clusters or have an unusual appearance or enlargement, clinicians may question whether abnormalities are present. Baran M, Canoz O, Altuntas H, Sivgin S, Cetin M, Yay A, Ketenci S. Immunohistochemical investigation of P16, P53 and Ki-67's prognostic values in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Here we present a literature review and case series of seven patients with NHL of the tongue base. This entity was first described in 1973 by Adkins. volume15, Articlenumber:30 (2020) Had biopsy on axillary lymph node. Case report: A 53-year-old female presented with globus sensation, mild dysphagia, nocturnal breathing problems and 'hot potato voice' dysphonia. Severe benign lymphoid hyperplasia (LH) is unusual in the head and neck region, but the diagnosis of LH is of clinical importance as it may be confused with malignant lymphoma, both on clinical examination and pathologically. Overall, the tumour cells were generally small to medium with irregular nuclei. Generally, MCL patients have a median age of 60years and a striking male predominance [42] .Three of the four cases of MCL including our case, occurred at the base of the tongue. Am J Dermatopathol. FOIA The biopsy diagnosis was peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Cut-off values were set as previously described [9]. https://doi.org/10.4103/0019-509X.58873. In the orofacial region, RLH most often occurs in the oropharynx, Waldeyers tonsillar ring, the soft palate, the lateral tongue, and the floor of the mouth.2 Waldeyers ring includes the lingual and palatine tonsils, the adenoids, lymphoid follicles located on the posterolateral tongue in the area of the foliate papillae, and level 1 lymph nodes in the floor of the mouth. The lymphoid follicles at the base of the tongue can be detected when examining the pharynx of adults, but the presence of large follicles, denoted "severe" hypertrophy of the base of the tongue (HBT) is rare. Four out of five of the DLBCL cases were NOS subtypes. The cortex is also divided into outer cortex and inner cortex (also known as the paracortex). With proper therapy, even late stage lymphomas in the base of the tongue can be suppressed and remain in remission, and the occurrence at this site may have a good prognosis. 1, pp. The authors declare that they have no competing interests. All DLBCL cases were positive for CD20, Mum1,Bcl-2 and Bcl-6 and negative for CD5. Hans CP, Weisenburger DD, Greiner TC, Gascoyne RD, Delabie J, Ott G, Muller-Hermelink HK, Campo E, Braziel RM, Jaffe ES, Pan Z, Farinha P, Smith LM, et al. Article Disclaimer. In addition, patients may notice irregularities on their own, thereby bringing the appearance to the attention of their dentists or hygienists. a.

Molecular pathogenesis and treatment strategy in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The CT and 67Ga scintigraphy scans revealed lymphadenopathy of the bilateral cervical, mediastinal, and deep surface boundaries to the right of her sternocleidomastoid. d. Tumour cells were positive for C-myc (200 x). https://doi.org/10.1017/s0022215100142288. Cytoplasmic composition also varied between cases, from abundant to scant. Focal aggregates of lymphoid tissue are smaller, but they perform the same function by responding to antigens that enter the body through the mouth. Zhiyong Liang or Beverly Wang. The condition mainly affects adult patients, ranging. a. CT showed an irregular soft tissue mass at the right posterior aspect of the tongue base. The other two cases were mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and peripheral T cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL, NOS). To the best of our knowledge, four cases have been reported, including our case and three cases from literature (Table 5) [17, 27, 40]. The site is secure. Pseudotumours of the oropharynx due to muscular contraction. For the in situ detection of high-risk HPV integration at the mRNA level, the RNAscope FFPE 2.5 HD detection kit (Brown) (CAT #322310) was used according to the manufacturers instructions. ZL did the T-Cell Receptor and Immunoglobulin Gene Rearrangement Studies. Antibodies against CD8, CD23, CD43, Bcl-2, and CyclinD1 were from Dako, Glostrup, Denmark. Mitosis could be observed easily. d. Tumour cells were positive for CD5 (200x). Lymphoma cases were selected from 2010 to 2017 in PUMCH, and all cases were reviewed to identify lymphomas arising from the base of the tongue instead of other primary sites. Article Two patients survived more than six years. The number of cases in the present study was low, so further studies will be needed to better understand the relationship between HPV infection and lymphoma of the base of the tongue. The pathological diagnosis was MCL. Cancer. https://doi.org/10.11406/rinketsu.58.2033. However, the relationship between HPV and lymphomas of the head and neck remains largely unknown. Lymphoid hyperplasia is the rapid proliferation of normal lymphocytic cells that resemble lymph tissue which may occur with bacterial or viral infections. ZL, BW, XR and YC reviewed all the cases together. Lymphoid hyperplasia of the tongue is a very rare benign lymphoproliferative lesion that closely resembles carcinoma or lymphoma, clinically or histopathologically. The remaining five patients were alive through the end of follow up. The biological behaviours that are exclusive to the tongue base are not clear. St. Louis, MO: Elsevier; 2016. Lymphoid hyperplasia is not a disease or a tumor, but simply a term we use to represent enlarged tissue masses. Google Scholar. A clinical note. CAS Besides the Waldeyer's ring, other lymphoid aggregates can also be detected in the soft palate, floor of the mouth and ventral tongue. [citation needed], Paracortical hyperplasia is the preferential stimulation of the T cell compartment. This distribution is similar to that in previous reports [18,19,20,21,22] .The most common location was the base of the tongue. HPV is considered to be associated with the occurrence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma [8], therefore, we detected the infection status of the the two viruses in lymphoma of the base of the tongue. Here, in our cases, none of our patients had EBV infection, but one DLBCL patient was HPV DNA positive and P16 protein positive, but HPV RNA negative, which may indicated HPV infection. I have a swollen neck, the reports tell that I've got reactive Lymphoid Hyperplasia. Except in one case, all patients exhibited a tongue base mass with smooth and intact membrane surface. Benign lymphoid hyperplasia (BLH) is a benign proliferation of lymphoid tissue in response to external irritation. Blood. In contrast, cytokeratins, CD8, CD20, CD30, ALK and CD56, TIA-1, and Granzyme B were negative. National Library of Medicine Is it always necessary to carry out a biopsy on lymphoid hyperplasia or is endoscopic examination and MRI enough to decide that it is benign? 7982, 2009. https://doi.org/10.1309/YHFE-R65B-D3LK-3GGV. .. https://doi.org/10.22034/APJCP.2017.18.10.2781. Her IPI score was 3 (high risk group). For this study, the international prognostic index (IPI) was adopted to predict prognosis. All these factors might explain why the patient survived only 3months after diagnosis although he was in an early stage and had a low IPI score. Am J Gastroenterol. https://doi.org/10.1038/modpathol.2016.152. Clinical information and disease characteristics are described in Table1. Diagnostic Pathology HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help Paracortical hyperplasia may be accompanied by vascular proliferation. 2000;113:5128. The surface of the tongue in this area is made up primarily of lymphoid tissue known as the lingual tonsil. The prognosis for MCL seems to be poorer than that for DLBCL at the base of the tongue. This article is available as a PDF only. 2). 2013;91 Thesis 5:127. [1] The growth is termed hyperplasia which may result in enlargement of various tissue including an organ, or cause a cutaneous lesion. Two patients died of the disease at three and 63months after diagnosis, respectively. f. Tumour cells were negative for CD8 (200x). Pathology may also show indistinct germinal centres leading to erroneous diagnosis of follicular lymphoma [3]. Lymphoid Hyperplasia Pulmonary lymphoid hyperplasia, also known as follicular bronchiolitis, is an uncommon, benign condition characterized histologically by the presence of polyclonal lymphoid aggregates along the bifurcation of the bronchioles and along the pulmonary lymphatics. This report adds valuable knowledge to the possible virus infection status of tongue NHL, due to its rare occurrence. As they mount an immune response, lymphoid cells can proliferate and enlarge. Postoperatively the patient was deemed unsafe for extubation and transferred to the intensive care unit while placed on high-dose intravenous dexamethasone. Increasingly, cancers at the base of the tongue are . Call your doctor or 911 if you think you may have a medical emergency. J Natl Cancer Inst. Vega F, Lin P, Medeiros LJ.
