Malignant lymphomas of the head and neck

: Review of 122 head and neck lymphomas diagnosed between 1976 and 1992 revealed 40 extranodal lymphomas. In 30 of them follow-up was available. We review the demographic, clinical, histological and immunohistochemical features of the 30 extranodal lymphomas according to site of origin. Comparison is made between these extranodal lymphomas and nodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and cases of Hodgkin's disease first diagnosed in the head and neck area.
