Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the following: 1. 1. An ulcerating lesion in the oropharynx can be a lymphomatous lesion. The histologic diagnosis of anaplastic carcinoma, if made, should be questioned and all efforts exerted to rule out lymphoma. 2. 2. A biopsy specimen of a cervical lymph node that is believed to be anaplastic carcinoma, of unknown primary, should be similarly questioned. Reticulum cell sarcoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis. 3. 3. Enlarged salivary glands can be the primary site of lymphoma. 4. 4. Lymphangiography and exploratory laporotomy may be necessary for an accurate histologic diagnosis.
