Malignant lymphomas of the nose and throat.

چکیده
Introduction SARCOMAS occur infrequently in the nose and throat so that the number which pass through any individual surgeon's practice tends to be small. As a consequence the description of these tumours in textbooks on diseases of the ear, nose and throat, and malignant lymphomas in particular, has been almost uniformly sketchy, and their pathological features virtually neglected. Sarcomas are malignant tumours arising from tissues of mesenchymal origin, being considerably rarer than their epithelial counterparts, carcinomas. The commonest are those which arise from bone (osteosarcomas) and from tissues of the reticuloendothelial system (malignant lymphomas). Other less frequent examples are neurofibrosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, while others such as liposarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and angeiosarcoma are very rare. An analysis has been carried out of sixteen histologically proven cases of malignant lymphoma, presenting in the nose and throat, seen at St. Thomas's Hospital between 1934 and 1954. The natural history of these cases is reviewed, particular attention being paid to the correlation of their pathological and clinical details.
