“…Overall rates of lymphoma tend to be lower in Asia compared to North America, Europe and Australia [2,6] Age specific incidence rate (ASR) for USA during 2005-2009 was 19.6 compared to 2.4 in India, 2.1 in China and 5.1 in Japan [6]. In Sri Lanka, lymphoma ASR is 3.8 for males and 2.6 for females.…”

“…Lymphoma is the 5th leading malignancy among males and 10th among females in Sri Lanka [13]. An ''epidemic proportion'' increase in NHL has been reported in the West since 1950s [2]. Although, HIV infection has been attributed to part of this increase, the reasons are unknown for most cases [2].…”

“…Investigation of incidence of lymphoma subtypes is important in assessing the disease burden. Observation of geographical and ethnic variations is helpful in attempts to identify the aetiology [2,3,6]. In South Asia, incidence of WHO subtypes of lymphoma are available only for India and Pakistan and no published reports are available for Sri Lanka.…”

“…The aetiology of lymphoma has not yet been fully understood and each subtype appears to have a different aetiology which may be influenced by genetic susceptibility, immune status, ethnicity, viruses, environmental factors, cultural factors and geographic factors [1,2]. Incidence of lymphoma subtypes is subjected to geographic and ethnic variations [2][3][4][5][6].…”

Objectives To investigate the pattern of World Health Organization (WHO) lymphoma sub types in a sample from Sri Lanka.Methods Retrospective, descriptive study was carried out using biopsy specimens of patients diagnosed or suspected to have a lymphoma received by the Department of Pathology, University of Peradeniya for WHO sub typing. A sample of 227 cases diagnosed to have a lymphoma. All lymphomas were sub classified according to WHO 2007 revised classification of haematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasm using immunohistochemistry.Results There were 35 (15.4%) Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) and 192 (84.6%) non Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) specimens. Of the NHL the common sub types were diffuse large B cell lymphoma 87 (38.3%), follicular lymphoma 26 (11.5%) and peripheral T cell lymphoma 25 (11%). Of the HL the common sub types were mixed cellular 20 (8.8%) and nodular sclerosis 13 (5.7%). The mean age of the patients was 48.8±19.3 years and male to female ratio was 1.4:1. The observed patterns of both HL and NHL in the study population were similar to those of other South Asian countries such as India and Pakistan. ConclusionsIn the Sri Lankan sample, common sub types of lymphoma were diffuse large B cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. The frequency of lymphoma subtypes in the Sri Lankan sample are in accordance with the globally observed variations and similar to those observed in other South Asian countries.

The striking differences in the incidence patterns by histologic subtype strongly suggest a certain level of etiologic heterogeneity among hematological malignancies and support the pursuit of epidemiologic analysis by subtype for HMs in international studies. Age-standardized incidence rates are essential to analyze trends in risk, whereas the number of incident cases is necessary to make provisions for healthcare resources and to evaluate the overall burden of HM.
