Abstract

The manifestation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma as a primary parotid tumour account for 5% of all tumours at this location.

We present 8 patients diagnosed and treated for parotid non-Hodgkin lymphoma in our hospital between 1996 and 2003. Of the cases, 62% were women who had an indurated mass for almost 4 months. A fine needle aspiration and computed tomography were performed on all patients. The immunohistochemical study provided us with the definitive diagnosis. Biopsy was done in all cases. The treatment was chemotherapy in 75% cases and surgery in 25%.

The objective was to analyse the clinical and pathological patterns, plus the different treatment modalities and prognoses, which characterise this type of pathology based on the analysis of our patients and compared with those reported in the literature.

Resumen

La manifestación de un linfoma no Hodgkin como tumor primario de la parótida representa el 5% de los tumores en esta localización.

Se presentan 8 pacientes diagnosticados y tratados de linfoma no Hodgkin parotídeo en nuestro hospital entre 1996–2003. El 62% eran mujeres que presentaban una masa indurada de 4 meses de evolución. En todos los casos se realizó una punción aspiración con aguja fina y una tomografía computerizada siendo el estudio inmunohistoquímico esencial en el diagnóstico definitivo. Para ello, se realizó en todos los casos una biopsia. El tratamiento fue con quimioterapia en el 75% de los casos y en el 25% quirúrgico.

El objetivo es analizar los patrones clínicos y patológicos, así como las distintas modalidades terapéuticas y pronósticas, que caracterizan a este tipo de patología basándonos en el análisis de nuestros pacientes y comparándolos con los reflejados en la literatura.
