ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study the clinical characteristics, treatments and prognoses of the primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in head and neck.@*METHOD@#Clinical manifestations and clinicopathology characteristics of 107 NHL patients in head and neck were analyzed retrospectively.@*RESULT@#The median age of patients with head and neck NHL was 54 years. The most commonly primary site was tonsil (29 cases, 27.10%), and the secondly primary site was nasal cavity (28 cases, 26.17%). The most common histologic subtype was diffuse large B cell lymphoma(46 cases, 42.99%), and the secondly one was NK/T cell lymphoma(24 cases, 22.43%). We found that the combination of rituximab was superior than that of chemotherapy alone. Prognosis depended on both IPI and histological subtype, and IPI was a more dangerous factor than histological subtype.@*CONCLUSION@#The primary NHL is a common neoplasm in the head and neck region. Characteristic in age, primary site, histologic subtype, treatment and prognostic factors were helpful to understand and treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in head and neck.
