[2], A lymph node is small, capsulated lymphoid organ that is present along the lymphatic system. Image courtesy of James J. Sciubba, DMD, PhD. Lymphoid hyperplasia of the tongue is a very rare benign lymphoproliferative lesion that closely resembles carcinoma or lymphoma, clinically or histopathologically. It is caused by an abnormal proliferation of secondary follicles and occurs principally in the cortex without broaching the lymph node capsule. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Extranodal NHL is complicated; it consists of a group of tumours with different pathological, clinical and prognostic characteristics [6] .Existing series presenting extranodal NHL have mainly summarized the tumours that occur in the head and neck but are not specific to the base of the tongue. Surgical debulking/excision is the treatment of choice. Like all lymphoid tissue in the body, oral lymphoid tissue is highly reactive and can enlarge from time to time as it reacts to foreign entities. Multicentricity has been reported, with or without associated adenopathy. The lymphoid follicles at the base of the tongue can be detected when examining the pharynx of adults, but the presence of large follicles, denoted "severe" hypertrophy of the base of the tongue (HBT) is rare. Am J Dermatopathol. Manage cookies/Do not sell my data we use in the preference centre. 1970 Dec;8(3):413-24. Tongue musculature involvement can cause restricted movement, dysarthria, and dysphagia. For T cell receptor rearrangement, the IdentiClone TCRB, TCRG, and TCRD Gene Clonality Assays were used with gel detection (InVivoScribe Technologies, San Diego, CA, USA). On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Article For these, please consult a doctor (virtually or in person). Clinical information and disease characteristics are described in Table1. XR and YC wrote the article. Part of [1] The growth is termed hyperplasia which may result in enlargement of various tissue including an organ, or cause a cutaneous lesion. 2012;28:43541. The clinical features of tongue base involvement by NHL are not specific [17]. The follicles are cytologically polymorphous, are often polarized, and vary in size and shape. Cancer. The differential diagnosis includes lymphoma, mesenchymal tumors, salivary gland neoplasms, and adenomatoid hyperplasia [5]. Jrvenp P, Ilmarinen T, Geneid A, Pietarinen P, Kinnari TJ, Rihkanen H, Ruohoalho J, Markkanen-Leppnen M, Bck L, Arkkila P, Aaltonen LM. Our HPV-infected patient indeed had a favourable prognosis, and he was alive and free of disease when this manuscript was prepared (68months). Under the microscope, normal tissue was replaced by diffuse large atypical lymphocytes with relatively abundant cytoplasm. Her chemotherapy regimen was changed to GDP. Google Scholar. Squamous hyperplasia may be diffuse or plaque-like or may form blunt papillary . Follicular lymphoid hyperplasia (FLH) is an uncommon benign entity related to a rapid increase in the abundance of lymphocytes contained within or outside of lymph nodes. Briefly, the criteria and parameters for diagnosing and evaluating our cases were as follows: lymphoma classifications were based on the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues (Revised Fourth Edition), and staging was based on the Ann Arbor Staging System. https://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/djn011. ZL, BW, XR and YC reviewed all the cases together. Am J Otolaryngol. Imaging and pathological findings of DLBCL (case 5). This is the first study to report on both HPV and EBV infection status in tongue base lymphoma. Oral Pathology: Clinical Pathologic Correlations. 39, no. Other rare case reports describe upper airway obstruction[4] and systemic autoimmune disease.[5]. While an association with bacterial infection has not been clearly identified, one aggressive case of FLH has been linked to the presence of Epstein-Barr virus, causing clonal arrangement (expansion) in the local tissue DNA [4].

Depending upon the location of the RLH, the appearance of tissue may vary. Google Scholar. As they mount an immune response, lymphoid cells can proliferate and enlarge. Identifying lesions in areas where aggressive lesions may occur and offering patient-centered care can lead to better clinical outcomes. In addition, patients may notice irregularities on their own, thereby bringing the appearance to the attention of their dentists or hygienists. Yuen A, Jacobs C. Lymphomas of the head and neck. Chemotherapy containing rituximab was considered to significantly improve survival in DLBCL and MCL patients [39, 43].

Almost all cancers in the base of the tongue are squamous cell carcinomas, which form in the thin, flat cells that line the larynx. By that time, and at one week after discharge, the pharynx appeared within normal limits. She is founder and cohost of the International Oral Lichen Planus Support Group (dentistry.tamhsc.edu/olp) and coauthor of General and Oral Pathology for the Dental Hygienist, now in its third edition. The .gov means its official. Besides the Waldeyer's ring, other lymphoid aggregates can also be detected in the soft palate, floor of the mouth and ventral tongue. From: The Teaching Files: Chest, 2010 View all Topics Cancer at the base of the tongue is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, when the tumor is larger and the cancer has spread into the lymph nodes in the neck. Six of the cases exhibited tongue base masses with smooth surface membranes. 1987;149:57581. Among our cases, there were 1 GC and 3 NGC cases. One case was P53 positive (Fig. Ear Nose Throat J. Indian J Cancer. EBV ISH was performed using EBV-encoded Small RNA (EBER) probes (Bond ready-to-use ISH, Catalogue No: PB0589, Leica Biosystems Newcastle, Ltd.) according to the manufacturers protocol.

Written informed consent was obtained from each patient. 2012;87:6049. Head Neck. Understanding the biological behavior of and therapeutic options for tongue lymphoma is difficult due to the paucity of cases. Arch Pathol Lab Med. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) primarily derived from the base of the tongue, is rare. LH most commonly affects older patients, with a mean age of 61 and female-to-male ratio of nearly 3:1. A woman in her fourth decade was admitted with a one-month history of pharyngeal foreign body sensation. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using a Ventana Benchmark XT Autostainer (Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., Tucson, AZ). Three reactive samples, either tonsils or lymph nodes, were included to establish cut-off values. Springer Nature. https://doi.org/10.4103/0973-1482.136024. As both peripheral T cell lymphoma and MCL are extremely rare in the tongue base, we would like to describe these two cases in detail as follows. 4, pp. Common symptoms reported by people with benign lymphoid hyperplasia Common symptoms How bad it is What people are taking for it Fatigue Handicap/Disability Parking Permit Pain Review of the preoperative anaesthesia records revealed no features of airway obstruction nor B symptoms on clinical history. In this paper we present a case of severe pharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia causing airway obstruction and requiring tracheotomy and subsequent surgical debulking.

Open tracheotomy was performed on POD 3 due to the absence of a leak, and biopsies were again performed, which ultimately revealed the equivalent benign pathologic findings. and transmitted securely. 2, no. .. This may have been due to the expression of the cytotoxic marker TIA, Granzyme B, and a much higher Ki-67 index (80%), which may indicate a poor prognosis [41]. https://doi.org/10.1097/01.dad.0000246949.49071.17. In the middle power view, there were plenty of moderate to large cells with distorted nuclear contours (Fig. Lopez-Guillermo et al.

A final diagnosis was made through deep resection. Terms and Conditions, The study utilized immunochemistry, in situ hybridization (ISH), and gene rearrangement to confirm the disease and and performed a clinical follow up for each case. The objective of the present study was to identify severe HBT cases and their symptoms and to correlate them with the presence of pharyngolaryngeal signs and esophageal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in patients seen at a laryngology clinic. The obstructive lesion was biopsied, and specimens were sent fresh for lymphoma histopathology protocol. Similarly, the inner cortex has T cells and is called the T-cell zone. 7982, 2009. To our knowledge, none of these have highlighted the presence of airway obstruction related to pharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia. An official website of the United States government. Vose JM. [Diagnostics of laryngopharyngeal form of gastroesophageal reflux disease for adults (Lithuanian clinical practice guidelines)]. CAS Aggregates of lymphoid tissue are all over the oral mucosa, but they are often prominent in the soft palate, uvula, and pharynx. The presence of an excessively large tongue, which may be congenital or may develop as a result of a tumor or edema due to obstruction of lymphatic vessels, or it may occur in association with hyperpituitarism or acromegaly. https://doi.org/10.1309/YHFE-R65B-D3LK-3GGV. Lymphoma cases were selected from 2010 to 2017 in PUMCH, and all cases were reviewed to identify lymphomas arising from the base of the tongue instead of other primary sites. Bookshelf Differential diagnoses include benign lymphoid hyperplasia and carcinoma. Int J Hematol. All 7 lymphomas were localized at the base of the tongue. Get answers from Oncologist and Hematologists and top U.S. doctors, Our doctors evaluate, diagnose, prescribe, order lab tests, and recommend follow-up care. [citation needed], It is one common source of appendicitis, as it may cause an obstruction of the appendiceal lumen, resulting in the subsequent filling of the appendix with mucus, causing it to distend and internal pressure to increase. Two pathologists interpreted the FISH results using an Olympus fluorescence microscope equipped with 100 objective lens and orange/ green/4, 6-diamid-ino-2-phenylindole filters. Reference Sands and Tewfik 1 The aetiology is poorly understood, . Our attention is especially drawn to areas where increased gingival growth is uncommon, such as the soft palate, uvula, and posterior oropharynx. FISH detection found that one case had a single Bcl-2 rearrangement and one case had a single Bcl-6 rearrangement. Head Neck. This is slightly different from the cases reported by Owosho AA et al. Five cases of severe HBT were detected among 306 patients submitted to videolaryngoscopy over a period of 2 years, corresponding to 1.6% (5/306) of the total sample studied. Although it had been described in the literature, occurrence within oral cavity is rare. All patients were diagnosed by either biopsy or tumor resection. L. P. Menasce, J. H. Shanks, S. S.

Lymphoid hyperplasia of the tongue is a very rare benign lymphoproliferative lesion that closely resembles carcinoma or lymphoma, clinically or histopathologically. Oral-cutaneous CD4-positive T-cell lymphoma: a study of two patients. The same study also showed that lymphoma at this site is always early stage [21, 24]. The pathological diagnosis was MCL. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. Clinically this lesion presented as a painless ulcer, which mimicked carcinoma of the tongue. The site is secure. The therapeutic response is related to the pathological subtype and several factors, such as old age, high grade histology, bulky lymph nodes, higher IPI score, and advanced stage [22, 24, 25]. Lewis JS Jr. Morphologic diversity in human papillomavirus-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: catch me if you can! Imaging examination can help identify lesions. We thank Violette Ghali, Gina Elhammady, Mark Persky and Songyang Yuan for confirming the pathological diagnosis. PET-CT/CT/MRI scans of the cancerous areas were reviewed to assess the extension of the lesions, including to the bone and thorax. 2017;118:6028. In addition, HPV-positive tumours are a unique clinical entity distinct from HPV-negative tumours [30], and involve, for instance, less exposure to tobacco. Fakhry C, Westra WH, Li S, Cmelak A, Ridge JA, Pinto H, Forastiere A, Gillison ML. Other features include presence of white spaces and lymphocytes (large cells) within sinuses. https://doi.org/10.1053/ajot.2000.8382. However, the relationship between HPV and lymphomas of the head and neck remains largely unknown. In the literature, the patients with peripheral T cell lymphoma of the tongue base were middle aged with no obvious differences in gender distribution. Others theorize that it is caused by compensatory lymphoid hyperplasia after an adenotonsillectomy.19,20 Hypertrophied lymphoid follicles in the lingual tonsils of adults has been previously associated with the signs and symptoms of GERD.10 Mamede et al9 have suggested a possible link between the hypertrophy of the base of tongue and . The biological behaviours that are exclusive to the tongue base are not clear.

Dr. Burkhart was awarded an affiliate fellow status in the American Academy of Oral Medicine in 2016. https://doi.org/10.1038/modpathol.2016.152. The majority of existing head and neck reports are of hyperplasia in the oral cavity, namely, of the mucosa overlying the hard palate, and are limited to the dental and pathology literature [3]. The clinical stage was IV A. The possible reason was that the patient had several high risk factors, such as old age (in his nineties), positivity for c-Myc and P53, and co-expression of c-Myc (50%), Bcl-2 and Bcl-6 [38]. The lingual tonsil is located at the base of the tongue and related to circumvallate papillae, whereas subepithelial lymphoid tissue at the posterior lateral portion of the tongue and related to foliate papillae constitutes the lateral lingual tonsil.

Chi HS, Lee KW, Chiang FY, Tai CF, Wang LF, Yang SF, Lin SF, Kuo WR. 2004;103:27582. Is it always necessary to carry out a biopsy on lymphoid hyperplasia or is endoscopic examination and MRI enough to decide that it is benign? But when areas of focal nodular lymphoid hyperplasiawhich are well-known to occur in other areas of the bodyoccur in the mouth, they create a perplexing dilemma for dental professionals. These cells are designed to fight. f. Ki-67 staining of the tumour cells (200x). AJR Am J Roentgenol. Lee JH, Lee SH. For potential or actual medical emergencies, immediately call 911 or your local emergency service. However, this index markedly increases to 4% (4/101) among patients with pharyngolaryngeal signs of GER and reached 7.5% (4/53) among patients presenting GER symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, retrosternal burning feeling, and dysphagia.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: clinical and biological characterization and outcome according to the nodal or extranodal primary origin. No progression to malignancy has been reported, although one multisite case within the oral cavity was found to represent MALT-type lymphoma [1]. For immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, we used IdentiClone IGH, IGK and IGL Gene Clonality assays with gel detection (InVivoScribe Technologies, San Diego, CA, USA). Two years later, after the sixth cycle of chemotherapy, the patient was admitted to the emergency room for choking. Google Scholar. When we think of lymphoid hyperplasia in the oral cavity, we often think of localized increases of lymph node tissue. Rasmussen PK.
