Study of Extra-Nodal Lymphoproliferative Malignancy Presented As Isolated Parotid Gland Swelling
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Primary parotid lymphomas are a rare entity. The clinical presentations as well as the investigations primarily available are non-specific and often lead to delay in diagnosis and treatment. Our primary aim is on the diagnostic and management of such cases. Ours is a retrospective analysis of the cases of primary malignant lymphoma diagnosed after surgery and their management. Out of 10 cases 9 patient were diagnosed with NHL while 1 case was of CML. After surgery patients were sent for radiotherapy and chemotherapy. All the cases responded well without any recurrence. Primary parotid lymphomas have good prognosis with minimal morbidity, although diagnostic modality pose a challenge, therefore one must keep it as differential for parotid swellings.
