Abstract

 

Lymphoma involves abnormal lymphoid cell growth, often originating in lymphatic tissue, but in this case series non-Hodking's lymphoma is visible in the extra-nodal region. This research explores different lymphoma cases, focusing on diverse presentations and utilizing modern imaging for evaluation. Four cases are detailed, involving an 18-year-old woman with tonsillar lymphoma, a 69-year-old man with ocular lymphoma, a 38-year-old lady with abdominal lymphoma, and a 30-year-old man with gastric lymphoma. All cases received adjuvant chemotherapy (RCHOP), leading to significant symptom relief after four cycles.

The discussion highlights the debate surrounding the classification of primary extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), challenging the existing Ann Arbor classification's applicability.

A major challenge in managing primary extranodal lymphomas is the absence of specific treatment guidelines. Evaluation criteria, defining complete response as the disappearance of all evidence of the disease, guided the study. In conclusion, this case series underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing, staging, and managing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Despite challenges in defining and treating primary extranodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy in providing relief, as all the cases revealed recovery after 4 continuous cycles of chemotherapy.
