Extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the head and neck: presentation in the facial bones.

1. The most common site of ENL is the head and neck, with Waldeyer's ring and specifically, the tonsil, standing as the most frequent area of involvement. Most patients have intermediate or high-grade histologies. 2. Patients present with identical signs and symptoms as squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, underscoring the importance of a thorough otolaryngological examination. 3. Biopsy samples should be submitted as fresh and permanent samples specifically labeled for lymphoma evaluation. 4. A thorough and timely staging work-up should be conducted once a positive biopsy diagnosis is obtained. 5. Treatment consists of radiation and/or chemotherapy. Prognosis depends on histology, stage, and site of lesion. Newer treatment strategies may lead to improved survival for patients with head and neck NHL.
