저자들은 최근 원발성 갑상선 림프종으로 진단한 3예를 경험하였기에 이를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 특히 증례 3에서와 같이 전경부 종괴로 내원한 환자에서 과거 하시모토 갑상선염의 병력이 없더라도 갑상선초음파에서 하시모토갑상선염을 의심할 수 있는 갑상선실질의 미만성 변화를 보이고, 실질 부위와 구분되는 명확한 거대한 저에코성 종괴를 보이는 경우 갑상선 림프종을 감별 진단하여야 할 것으로 생각되며, 우선적으로 초음파 유도하 세침흡인검사를 실행하고, 확진을 위해 조직생검을 하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Management of Helicobacter pylori infection is an important aspect of many upper gastrointestinal tract diseases, such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. The Thailand Consensus on H. pylori treatment 2015 consisted of 22 national experts who took active roles, discussed all important clinical information and investigated clinical aspects in four workshops, focuising on: (1) Diagnosis (2) Treatment (3) Follow-up after eradication and (4) H. pylori infection and special conditions. Experts were invited to participate on the basis of their expertise and contribution to H. pylori works and/or consensus methodology. The results of each workshop were taken to a final consensus vote by all experts. Recommendations were developed from the best evidence and availability to guide clinicians in management of this specific infection associated with variety of clinical outcomes.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the patterns of care and treatment outcomes in patients with primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) in a single institution. Materials and Methods: Medical records of 29 patients with PTL treated between April 1994 and February 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy (n = 17) or thyroidectomy (n = 12). Treatment modality and outcome were analyzed according to lymphoma grade. Results: The median follow-up was 43.2 months (range, 3.8 to 220.8 months). The median age at diagnosis was 57 years (range, 21 to 83 years) and 24 (82.8%) patients were female. Twenty-five (86.2%) patients had PTL with stage IEA and IIEA. There were 8 (27.6%) patients with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and the remaining patients had high-grade lymphoma. Patients were treated with surgery (n = 2), chemotherapy (n = 7), radiotherapy (n = 3) alone, or a combination of these methods (n = 17). Treatment modalities evolved over time and a combination of modalities was preferred, especially for the treatment of high-grade lymphoma in recent years. There was no death or relapse among MALT lymphoma patients. Among high-grade lymphoma patients, 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) were 75.6% and 73.9%, respectively. Complete remission after initial treatment was the only significant prognostic factor for OS (p = 0.037) and PFS (p = 0.003). Conclusion: Patients with PTL showed a favorable outcome, especially with MALT lymphoma. Radiotherapy alone for MALT lymphoma and chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy for high-grade lymphoma can be effective treatment options for PTL.

목적 : 원발성 안와 림프종로 진단 받고 방사선치료를 받은 환자들을 대상으로 치료 반응, 재발 양상, 생존률 및 치료 부작용에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1991년 2월부터 2001년 4월까지 서울중앙병원에서 원발성 안와 림프종으로 진단 받고 방사선치료를 받은 31명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 성별분포는 남자가 18명, 여자가 13명이었다. 연령은 3세에서 73세까지 분포하였으며 중앙값은 44세였다. 원발 부위는 결막이 9명, 안검이 12명, 안와가 10명이었다. 병리학적 소견은 MALT (low-grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type) 림프종이 28명, diffuse large B-cell 림프종이 1명, anaplastic large cell 림프종이 1명이었으며 lymphoblastic 림프종이 1명이었다. Ann Arbor staging에 따른 병기 분포를 살펴보면 1기가 31명으로 전부를 차지하였으며 각각 비장, 신장, 골수와 맥락얼기(choroid plexus)에 병변이 있었던 환자 4명은 연구에서 제외하였다. 전체 환자 중, 양측 안와 침범이 있는 환자는 6명이었다. 방사선치료는 결막과 안검 부위는 $6\~16\;MeV$의 전자선을 이용하여 전방 1문 치료로 30 Gy/10 fractions을 조사하였고, 안와 부위는 4 MV, 6 MV의 광자선을 이용하여 쐐기를 이용한 전사방 2문 치료로 $20\~28$회에 걸쳐 총 $40\~50.4\;Gy$를 조사하였다. 특히 결막과 안검 부위는 수정체를 보호하기 위한 납차폐물이 사용되었다. 항암화학요법은 12명의 환자에서 시행되었다. 중앙 추적 관찰기간은 53개월이었다. 결과 : 전체 환자의 5년 생존율은 $90.7\%$이었으며, 2명이 질병과 무관하게 폐렴과 비소세포성 폐암으로 사망하여 질병관련(cause-specific) 5년 생존율은 $96.0\%$이었으며 5년 무병 생존율은 $80.0\%$, 5년 국소제어율은 $90.5\%$였다. 방사선치료를 받은 31명 모두가 치료 후 6개월 이내에 완전관해를 보여 완전관해율은 $100\%$였다. 이 중 국소 재발은 방사선치료 후 16개월과 18개월에 2명의 환자에서 보였고 구제 방사선치료 후 모두 완전관해를 보였다. 2명이 조사 영역 밖에서 재발하였고 lymphoblastic 림프종 환자가 방사선치료 후 18개월에 골수에서 재발하여 사망하였고 MALT 림프종 환자가 방사선치료 후 41개월에 폐에 재발하여 구제 방사선치료 후 완전관해를 보였다. 12명의 환자가 방사선치료 전에 항암화학요법을 받았으며 부분관해가 11명에서 나타났고 1명은 반응을 보이지 않았다. 방사선치료 당시 시력이 있었던 29명 중 5명에서 방사선유발 백내장이 발생하였으며 2명에서 안구건조증이 발생하였다. 결론 : 원발성 안와 림프종의 대부분이 MALT 림프종이었다. 방사선치료는 매우 좋은 치료 반응과 국소 제어율을 보였으며 높은 생존율을 보였다. 국소 재발한 경우에도 방사선치료가 구제치료의 역할을 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며 대부분의 환자에서 심각한 후유증을 보이지 않는 안전한 치료로 생각된다.

Background and Aim: The incidence of extra nodal non Hodgkin lymphoma (ENL) is rising throughout the world. However, data regarding ENL as a group is limited. The aim was to study the epidemiological and histomorphological trends of primary ENL (pENL) in India. Material and Methods: The biopsy materials from sixty eight patients with pENL (45 male, 23 female, M:F= 1.9:1), diagnosed over a five year period (2005-2009), were analysed and pathologically reclassified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, 2008 criteria. Results: Primary extra nodal non Hodgkin lymphomas constituted 22.0% (68/308) of all non Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). The mean age at presentation for pENL and primary nodal NHL was 43 years and 58 years, respectively with a male predilection (M: F=2:1). Central nervous system (CNS) constituted the most common extranodal site (20/68, 29.5%) followed by gastrointestinal tract (17/68, 25%), and nose/nasopharynx (8/68, 11.8%). Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, not otherwise specified), extranodal marginal lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type, and B cell NHL unclassified (U) were the three most common histological types observed. T-cell phenotype was rarely noted (4%). Follicular lymphomas and anaplastic large cell lymphoma, seen among nodal NHL, were absent at extra nodal sites. Majority (41/68, 60%) of the patients with pENL were immunocompetent and 55% were in stage I-II with favorable prognosis. Conclusion: Central nervous system was the most common site of ENL, followed by gastrointestinal tract. Majority of pENL occurred in immunocompetent hosts with a favorable prognosis.

Out of entire salivary tumor, 1.7% are malignant lymphoma developed in salivary gland and it is usually mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma developed in salivary gland. In the case of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the most frequently involved extanodal sites of diffuse large B cell lymphoma are bone, skin, thyroid, gastrointestinal tract, and lung. Development in salivary gland is very rare. A 69 years old male patient who have found Lt. submandibular gland (SMG) mass a month ago is suspected of malignancy from his FNA result, so histologic exam by SMG resection was operated. According to histopathologic exam, large B cell lymphocyte infiltratration were generally shown as diffuse and lymphoepitheliallesion were not found. In immunostaining, CD79a showed positive and CD3, CAM5.2 showed negative which diagnosed as diffuse large B cell lymphoma. As Ann Arbor stage I, CEOP-B chemotherapy was used 3 times as treatment without any recurrence. In the case of malignant lymphoma in salivary gland, it develops as painless mass in ipsilateral side. If found in parotid gland, it is rare to have facial nerve falsy and pathologically diagnosed as lymphocytes of abnormal type of monoclonal immunostaining must be provided as evidence. Combined therapy is known as most effective treatment for intermediate grade.

폐에 발생하는 원발성 비호지킨 림프종은 아주 드문 질환으로 대개 폐문이나 중격동의 림프절 비대로 나타난다. 조직학적으로 대개 low grade B-cell 형태로 주로 발생하고 말초 T세포 형태로 폐에 원발성으로 발생하는 림프종은 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 발열과 전신 홍반이 있으면서, 흉부 X-선 사진상 급속히 진행하는 미만성 폐침윤 및 흉수 소견을 보여 초기에는 감염성 질환을 의심하였으나 피부병변과 림프절 및 골수 검사상 말초 T세포 림프종으로 진단된 예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
