Cytologic mimics of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the head and neck

Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology
Lourdes R Ylagan

Abstract

Non-lymphoid small round blue cell tumors of the head and neck are particularly difficult to diagnose when metastatic to a lymph node. The cytopathologist or surgical pathologist evaluating these lesions has to be aware of the various non-hematopoetic neoplasms that present in the head and neck area that can mimic non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Presented here are the various lesions commonly seen which needs to be entertained depending on where in the head and neck the lesion is located. More recently, a plethora of HPV related head and neck tumors has been described and these lesions add to the mix in this challenging milieu of cases.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

Basal cell carcinoma is a form of malignant skin cancer found on the head and neck regions and has low rates of metastasis. Discover the latest research on basal cell carcinoma here.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Brain

Cell adhesion molecules found on cell surface help cells bind with other cells or the extracellular matrix to maintain structure and function. Here is the latest research on their role in the brain.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
