Non-Hodgkin lenfomanın farkı mukozal görünümleri: Olgu serisi

Abstract

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma has an incidence 8% of all childhood malignancies in the world. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma typically invades the liver, lungs, spleen and mediastinum. The most common symptoms include pain and coughing due to enlarged lymph nodes, shortness of breath due to thoracic masses, and bowel obstruction and acid in abdominal involvement. In this study, we have discussed cases of lymphoma with different mucosal presentations. The age of the patients varied from 3.5-16 years, and included three females and two males. The cases include patients with lymphoblastic lymphoma referring with a preliminary diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma; with lymphoblastic lymphoma, with a preliminary diagnosis of odontogenic cyst; with Burkitt lymphoma, with lower gastrointestinal system bleeding-acute gastroenteritis; with Burkitt lymphoma, with a preliminary diagnosis of ovarian tumor and with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, with a diagnosis of anemia. Clinical, laboratory and radiological diagnostic methods can guide diagnosis of lymphoma, histopathologic examination is important for the final diagnosis. In conclusion, it is important to make a systemic evaluation rather than focusing only on the referral complaints and radiological imaging in patient assessment.
