Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, rare localization at the base of the tongue - case presentation.
The extranodal malignant lymphomas occur mainly in the region of the head and neck, after the gastrointestinal tract. The most common site of the head and neck lymphoma is at the lymphatics ring of Waldeyer, followed by the nasosinusal region. Localization at the base of the tongue is extremely rare. The authors reported a case of a 50-year-old male with a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which developed at the base of tongue. An unusual sensation described as a foreign body at the hypopharyngeal region associated with progressive dysphagia were the main symptoms for which the patient was referred to our Hospital. The fibroscopic exam has revealed an oval tumor of the base of tongue, with large dimensions, sessile emergent base and smooth superficial mucosa. The tumor was removed using an endoscopic transoral approach, followed by the histopathological and immunohistochemical examination, which have been suggestive for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with small B-cells. The treatment continued with chemotherapy, while radiotherapy was not necessary due to the fact that the tumor was completely removed.
