All 7 lymphomas were localized at the base of the tongue. 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.

As seen in Figure 1, the soft palate, uvula, and posterior pharynx demonstrate multiple areas of enlargement that are consistent with lymphoid tissue. Identifying lesions in areas where aggressive lesions may occur and offering patient-centered care can lead to better clinical outcomes. Owosho AA, Bilodeau EA, Surti U, Craig FE. 2). or a reactive lymphoid proliferation to an unknown antigenic stimulation [2].

Large B-cell lymphoma of the base of the tongue and oral cavity: a practical approach to identifying prognostically important subtypes. None of the seven patients presented systemic symptoms (body weight loss, fever and night sweating). 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]. Lymphoid hyperplasia is a rapid increase in the number of normal cells (called lymphocytes) that are contained in lymph nodes. Jain KS, Sikora AG, Baxi SS, Morris LG. Positive nucleolus staining was used to identify Bcl-6, mum-1, CyclinD1, SOX11 and Ki-67. These tonsils contain B and T lymphocytes which get activated when harmful bacteria and viruses come in contact with tonsils. Extranodal lymphomas of the head and neck. Not applicable. The cortex is also divided into outer cortex and inner cortex (also known as the paracortex). This site needs JavaScript to work properly. The complaints due to severe HBT were noisy respiration, hoarseness, throat clearing, dry cough, globus pharyngeus, and nasal voice. Paracortical hyperplasia may be accompanied by vascular proliferation. This is the first study to report on both HPV and EBV infection status in tongue base lymphoma. Three patients had a complete response (Table1). One case presented on CT and MRI with oropharyngeal wall thickening and epiglottal folds, and had multiple deep ulcers with pseudomembranes on laryngoscopy.

Depending upon the location of the RLH, the appearance of tissue may vary. 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. Besides the Waldeyer's ring, other lymphoid aggregates can also be detected in the soft palate, floor of the mouth and ventral tongue. 2014;10:94550.

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]. The most common histologic subtype was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which occurred in five cases. 2000;113:5128. One patient in the literature died 17months after diagnosis.
