During the period from January, 1975, to June, 1989, one hundred patients with histopathologically proven polymorphic reticulosis in the upper respiratory tract were treated with radiation therapy and the analysis of treatmemt results was undertaken. One hundred patients (69 males, 31 females) with a mean age of 46 years (range 12-79 years) were presented. Nasal cavity was the most frequent site of involvement ($56{\%}$), and 44 cases had multifocal sites of involvement. The incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis at initial diagnosis was $24{\%}$. Staging was determined by Ann-Arbor classification, retrospectively. The number of patients of stage IE, IIE, IIIE and IVE were 35, 60, 1, and 4, respectively. The overall 5 year actuarial survival rates were $38.4{\%}$. The difference in 5 year survival rates between patients with stage IE and IIE, with solitary and multiple, with CR and PR after irradiation were significant statistically. For the analysis of failure patterns, failure sites include the following: local failure alone (30/55=$54.6{\%}$), systemic failure alone (9/55=$16.4{\%}$), both local and systemic failure (16/55=$29.0{\%}$). Retrograde slide review was available in 29 cases of PMR with respect to histopathologic bases, and immunohistochemical studies were performed using MT1 and DACO-UCHL-1 as T-cell markers, MB2 as a B-cell marker and alpha-1-antichymotrypsin as a histiocytic markers. All that 29 cases showed characteristic histologic features similar to those of peripheral T-cell lymphoma and showed positive reactio to the T-cell marker. These findings suggest strongly that quite a significant portion of PMR may be in fact T-cell lymphoma.

1979년부터 1987년까지 서울대학교 병원에서 상기도에 국한된 다형성 세망증으로 근치적 방사선치료를 받은 33명의 환자의 치료성적을 분석하였다. 발열, 체중감소, 도한등의 전신적 증상은 대상 환자중 $48\%$에서 나타났으며 침윤병소로는 비강이 $85\%$로 가장 많았고 븐비동 및 구개부가 각각 $33\%$와 $30\%$이었다. 전체 환자의 5년 및 10년 생존율은 각각 $47\%$와 $40\%$이었다. 방사선 조사야 내에서 재발한 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우간의 방사선 선량 차이는 통계학적으로 유의하였으며 조사야 경계부위에서 재발한 경우는 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해서 조사야 면적이 작았다. 추적 관찰 기간중 악성 임파종 4예, 골수 세망증 1예 등의 전신적 전이가 확인되었다. 따라서 방사선 치료를 시행하여 다형성 세망증의 국소 치료율은 향상시키기 위해서는 최소 4,500 cGy의 선량과 병소주위의 조직을 충분히 포함하는 조사야를 사용해야 하며 전신적 전이를 효과적으로 치료할 화학요법 면에서의 개선이 필요하다고 판단된다.
