Abstract
Objectives

To evaluate the implication of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) in Otorhinolaryngology.

Patients and methods

A longitudinal retrospective study on patients with HL diagnosed, treated and followed up in our Centre from 1996 to 2010.

Results

From 413 individuals having lymphoma, 120 were labelled as HL (29%). Patients were males in 76% and greater incidence was observed in ages between 15 and 30years old, as well as between 45 and 60. Samples for biopsy from adenopathies were obtained in 84 cases (61 from the neck), and in 15 its origin was extranodal. The most usual finding at physical exploration was the presence of cervical (86%) and axillary nodes (68%), followed by B symptoms (37%). Waldeyer's ring was affected in 4%. The most frequent histopathological variety was classic HL with nodular sclerosis (50%) and mixed cellularity (28%). Patients were usually diagnosed at Stages I (28%) and II (47%). Recurrence of disease in the neck after conventional oncologic therapies was detected in 17 patients, in 7 of which the pathological study had varied. Mortality was 8%. The main unfavourable prognostic factors for neoplasm recurrence were lymphocyte depletion variety, lymphadenopathy larger than 10cm and B symptoms.

Conclusions

Clinical HL findings are strongly associated with the head and neck area, making its suspicion obligatory in differential diagnosis on cervical nodes.

Resumen
Objetivos

Evaluar la implicación de la enfermedad de Hodgkin en patología otorrinolaringológica.

Material y métodos

Estudio longitudinal y retrospectivo de pacientes diagnosticados, tratados y controlados por linfoma de Hodgkin (LH) en nuestro centro entre los años 1996 y 2010.

Resultados

Cuatrocientos trece individuos atendidos por linfoma, 120 fueron etiquetados de LH (29%). Fueron varones el 76% y se observó mayor incidencia entre los 15–30 años y los 45–60 años. En 84 casos se obtuvo muestra para estudio biópsico procedente de adenopatías, 61 cervicales, mientras que en 15 la muestra fue de origen extranodal. El hallazgo más frecuente en la consulta fueron la presencia de adenopatías cervicales (86%), axilares (68%) y síntomas B (37%). El anillo de Waldeyer sólo se vio afectado en un 4%. La forma histopatológica más frecuente resultó el LH en su variedad clásica con esclerosis nodular (50%), seguido de la de celularidad mixta (28%). Los pacientes fueron más frecuentemente diagnosticados en estadio I (28%) y II (47%). Se detectó recidiva de enfermedad cervical tras terapia oncológica convencional en 17 pacientes, en 7 de los cuales el informe histopatológico había variado. El índice de mortalidad fue del 8%. Los principales factores de mal pronóstico para recidiva de enfermedad fueron las formas con depleción linfocitaria, las adenomegalias mayores de 10cm y los síntomas B.

Conclusiones

Los hallazgos clínicos del LH se relacionan fuertemente con el área de cabeza y cuello obligando a su sospecha en el diagnóstico diferencial de las masas cervicales.
