Histiocytic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of Waldeyer's ring.

The most common extranodal site for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the head and neck is the lymphoid tissue of Waldeyer's ring. Diffuse histiocytic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the most frequent type occurring at all head and neck extranodal sites. The rarity of histiocytic lymphoma in the areas comprising Waldeyer's ring tends to make assembly of a large series of patients for retrospective study quite difficult. Of the 804 patients treated for malignancies in Waldeyer's ring during the years 1948 to 1985 at the Charity Hospital of Louisiana, 26 had lesions classified as histiocytic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We present, to our knowledge, the largest series of diffuse histiocytic lymphomas involving Waldeyer's ring.

Histiocytic malignant lymphoma arising in the midfacial soft tissues.

Histiocytic malignant lymphoma arising in the midfacial soft tissues represents an uncommon clinical disorder. We report our experiences with a 63-year-old man with nasal obstruction secondary to a nasal septal mass that developed four weeks after a routine septoplasty. Final pathologic appearance after multiple biopsies was consistent with histiocytic malignant lymphoma. Clinical features, histopathologic findings, therapy, and prognosis are discussed.

Blindness as a complication of rhinoplasty.

Blindness following elective cosmetic surgery can be a devastating complication, for the patient as well as the surgeon. A case of unilateral blindness secondary to central retinal artery occlusion following an open septorhinoplasty is presented. Possible causes of blindness following rhinoplasty and steps to prevent this complication are addressed.

Limited septoplasty as treatment for recurrent epistaxis in a child with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia.

Recurrent epistaxis can be a serious problem in children with coagulation disorders. We present a case of severe, recurrent nosebleeds in a 3-year-10-month-old boy with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia. The nature of Glanzmann's disease and medical treatment of epistaxis in children is reviewed. A method of controlling recurrent epistaxis with a very simple and limited septoplasty is described. This technique should be applicable to patients with recurrent nosebleeds and other more common coagulation disorders.
