HODGKIN LYMPHOMA 21
22 Definition (WHO) HL is a type of malignant lymphoma in which Reed-Sternberg cells are present in a “characteristic background” of reactive inflammatory cells of various types, accompanied by fibrosis of a variable degree. Histogenesis Tumors of B cell origin - germinal center or post germinal center B cells HODGKIN LYMPHOMA It was named after Thomas Hodgkin who first described it in 1832. Dorothy Reed & Carl Sternberg first described the malignant cells of HL called Reed Sternberg cells. Cervical lymphadenopathy is the most common head and neck presentation for Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). extranodal HL typically associated with generalized disease & a consequence of local spread from adjacent lymph nodes.

NON-HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMAS ( nhls ) represent a heterogeneous group of malignancies that arise from the lymphoid system which can involve - both lymph nodes & lymphoid organs extranodal organs & tissues In oral cavity: NHLs of the oral cavity are rare A ccount for only 2-3% of all the lymphomas reported. Oral cavity - large B cell lymphoma – 60% Of cases
PATHOGENESIS :
42
43
44 Anatomic location of thirty-one cases of NHL in the oral region arising in soft tissues
45 Oral manifestations Disease of oral cavity is extranodal . The disease can be due to Manifestation of disseminated disease Primary disease of the oral tissues and has not spread to other sites. (Sole expression of the disease or the initial manifestation of generalized disease). Oral sites Oral soft tissues Centrally within jaws . Presentation – oral lesions grow rapidly and then ulcerate. Some cases they can become large, fungating , necrotic, foul smelling masses. Soft tissue mass N on tender diffuse swellings. Most common buccal vestibule, posterior hard palate or gingiva. swellings have a boggy consistency. Lesion may be erythematous or purplish. May or may not be ulcerated .
46 Lymphomas of bone in oral cavity vague pain or discomfort which might be mistaken form toothache . Tooth mobility and pain may develop. Parasthesia in the mandible (numb chin syndrome) Ulcerated – then bony expansion eventually perforating the cortex producing a soft tissue swelling. Systemic symptoms like fever, night sweats, weight loss and fatigue, pruritis noted .
47 Of a total of 1,467 cases of extranodal NHL studied by Freeman and co-workers 417 ( 28percent ) - head and neck region. T onsils , 32 % Salivary glands 16.5 % O ral cavity 9.5 % Nasopharynx - 8.8 % Thyroid - 8.6 % Nose - 7.9 %
48 characterized by diffuse proliferation of large neoplastic B-lymphoid cells with nuclear size equal to or exceeding normal macrophage nuclei or more than twice the size of a normal lymphocyte (>20 μm ). 7th decade of life clinically a rapidly enlarging often symptomatic mass is typically seen Extraoral sites : mediastinum , GIT, bone marrow, CNS, breast & testes. Oral site: Waldeyer's ring, maxillary alveolus, maxillary vestibule & posterior palate . DIFFUSE LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA
49 C entroblasts ( large atypical pleomorphic lymphocytic nucleus with multiple nucleoli) Swelling in the anterior hard palate with surface ulceration

51 CLINICAL, HISTOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL DD OF DLBCL
52 CLINICAL, HISTOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL DD OF DLBCL
53 Oral PBL is rare recently described B-cell derived lymphoma most commonly seen in patients with HIV infection. characterised by a diagnostic triad of predilection for Gingivo-buccal complex mucosa, C lassical plasmablastic morphology with the lack of neoplastic plasma cells A limited immunohistochemical panel CD20 negativity LCA (+/), CD138/VS38c diffuse positivity , light chain restriction & high Mib-1(Ki 67) index. Prognosis is usually poor regardless of the site of origin. PLASMABLASTIC LYMPHOMA
54 Plasmablastic lymphoma PBL has found a place in the World Health Organization (WHO) 2000 classification as a distinct type of AIDS-related lymphoma and is accepted to be a variant of DLBCL.
55 BURKITT LYMPHOMA highly aggressive NHL that has the highest cell proliferation rate among human neoplasms. occurs predominantly in the first decades of life mostly in males with significant affinity for gnathic bones – 50 – 70% cases maxilla: mandible – 2:1 Posterior segments of the jaw Sometimes – 4 quadrant involvement Jaw involvement seems to be age related: 90% - 3 yrs old pt 25% - pts older than 15 yrs
56 There are three clinical variants of BL : E ndemic BL - children in Africa and Papua New Guinea as jaw or orbital masses S poradic BL- no specific age or geographic predilection and occurs with abdominal or nodal involvement HIV associated BL
57 A retrospective review of patients with Burkitt's lymphoma in the facial (1978 - 1997) . SITES: mandible, maxilla , palate TUMOUR- facial swelling / exophytic mass / as an ulcer..
58 H/P: sheets of round cells with vesicular nuclei & indistinct cytoplasm interspersed with lymphocytes with condensed nuclei. Few macrophages were seen between the tumour cells .
59
60 MANTLE CELL LYMPHOMA MCL includes small-medium sized lymphoid cells and accounts for 6–10% of all B-cell lymphomas . Common extra-nodal sites - RARE Waldeyer's ring, gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow and peripheral blood. INTRORAL: 9 cases Common site: palate….floor of mouth…Base of tongue Palatal MCL is mostly seen in elderly people and may be masked with the presence of prosthesis
61
62 Nuclei of small cells have distinct hyperchromatism . Mild nuclear pleomorphism is also evident Diffuse small cell lymphocytic infiltration is the predominant component on histology .
63 Tumoral cells stained diffusely positive with CD20 Tumoral cells showed nuclear positivity with cyclin D1 staining
64
65 FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA: Follicular lymphomas accounts for one third of NHL . This is a low to intermediate grade lymphoma show a follicular architecture represents the neoplastic counterpart of germinal center B lymphocytes. Few case reports – in salivary glands Among lymphomas originating from salivary glands, the ratio of follicular lymphoma is very low.
66 A case follicular lymphoma which presented as a salivary gland tumour – submandibular gland Destruction of salivary gland architecture. No acinar cell/ducts were seen . The entire mass was infiltrated by proliferation of lymphocytes which were arranged in sheets .. neoplastic lymphocytes in a follicular pattern .

EXTRANODAL MARGINAL ZONE B-CELL LYMPHOMA Lymphoma of MALT. I ndolent lymphoma in mucosal sites and in extranodal tissues including the gastrointestinal tract, salivary glands , lung , thyroid gland, and skin. Any age-group or gender can be affected A ssociated with Sjogren's syndrome female predominance. Populated by lymphocytes such as T cells and B cells, as well as plasma cells and macrophages
