“…These studies even reported slightly higher proportions of NHL than our study, ranging from 94. 5 Even though all studies on oral and para-oral lymphomas showed a higher proportion of B-cell NHL compared to Tcell/NK-cell NHL, the percentages of T-cell lymphomas reported by Iguchi et On the other hand, plasmablastic lymphoma was the most common histologic subtype (31.6 %) in a study conducted by Alli and Meer (2017) on cases of head and neck lymphomas in South Africa. In contrast, plasmablastic lymphoma was the least common subtype of NHL in our study, with only 0.4 % of cases.…”

“…It is considered the third most common malignancy worldwide (Storck et al, 2019). There has been a significant rise in the overall incidence of lymphoma, including the number of lymphoma cases occurring in the head and neck area (Bojanowska-Pozniak et al, 2017). Globally, lymphoma is considered the third most frequently encountered malignant neoplasm in oral and para-oral sites, after squamous cell carcinoma and salivary gland malignancy (Triantafillidou et al, 2012).…”

Aim: To describe the frequency of oral and para-oral lymphomas in Cairo governorate's educational hospitals and institutions between 2010 and 2019. Methods: Histopathological reports of patients diagnosed with oral and para-oral lymphomas from 2010 to 2019 were retrospectively retrieved from archives of educational hospitals and institutions in Cairo governorate. Data regarding age, gender, site and diagnosis was collected and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. Results: 362 cases of lymphomas were found which constituted 2.86 % of oral and para-oral lesions. The mean age of patients was 54 (standard deviation 18.5), the median age was 56 (range 3.5-92 years). Tonsil was the most common site, followed by parotid gland. Intra-oral affection was less frequent, with the hard palate being the most common intra-oral site. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma was more common than Hodgkin lymphoma. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was the most prevalent histologic subtype. Conclusions:The findings of the current study were consistent with majority of other studies held in different geographic regions. Since there were no previous studies that described the epidemiology of oral and para-oral lymphomas in Egypt, this study serves as a stepping-stone towards understanding their prevalence in Egypt.

“…It is considered the third most common malignancy worldwide [ 1 ]. The incidence of lymphomas has witnessed a substantial increase, including lymphomas occurring in the head and neck region [ 2 ]. Compared to other oral and para-oral malignancies, lymphoma comes in third place in terms of frequency of occurrence, following squamous cell carcinoma and salivary gland malignancy [ 3 ].…”

Oral and para-oral lymphomas: a 10-year multi-center retrospective study in Egypt with time series analysis and forecasting to 2030

et al. 2022

Background Little is known about the epidemiology of lymphomas occurring in oral and para-oral sites, especially in developing countries such as Egypt. Hence, the aim of this study was to describe the frequency and time trends of oral and para-oral lymphomas in Cairo governorate from 2010 to 2019, with forecasting to 2030, and to examine relations between age, gender, site and type of lymphoma. Methods Histopathological reports of patients diagnosed with oral and para-oral lymphomas from 2010 to 2019 were retrospectively retrieved from archives of six different centers in Cairo governorate. Data regarding age, gender and site was collected and associations between types of lymphoma and these variables were detected using appropriate statistical methods. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05. Time series analysis was used to determine the trend of lymphoma frequency within 10 years of the study and to predict frequency until 2030. Results Lymphomas constituted 2.86% of oral and para-oral lesions. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma was more common than Hodgkin lymphoma. Patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma showed a higher median age than patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (p = 0.001). Non-Hodgkin lymphoma was more prone to occur intra-orally (p = 0.014). No statistical significance was observed in gender distribution between Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Even though no specific time trend was observed from 2010 to 2019, forecasting for frequency of lymphomas through 10 years (2020 to 2030) showed a predicted increase. Conclusions The findings of this study were consistent with majority of other studies held in various geographic regions. The study revealed that frequency of oral and para-oral lymphomas in Cairo governorate is expected to rise; hence, oral pathologists should be more clinically suspicious and expect to encounter these lesions more in their practice within the upcoming years.

Clinical manifestation of malignant lymphomas of the head and neck region

Abstract: Malignant lymphomas should be taken into account during differential diagnosis of the tumor or lymphadenopathy of the neck. The diagnosis is difficult because of the nonspecificity of symptoms and the need for interdisciplinary cooperation of many specialists.
