A case of complete remission of Hodgkin lymphoma confirmed histopathologically by neck dissection
BACKGROUND: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is diagnosed definitively by biopsy, and treatment is based on stage. Owing to the nature of the disease, post‐treatment efficacy is determined mainly by fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography/computed tomography, and the efficacy of treatment is not confir...

description | BACKGROUND: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is diagnosed definitively by biopsy, and treatment is based on stage. Owing to the nature of the disease, post‐treatment efficacy is determined mainly by fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography/computed tomography, and the efficacy of treatment is not confirmed by histopathology. We report a case of tongue cancer after treatment for HL, in which a post‐treatment lymph node with complete remission was histopathologically confirmed by neck dissection. CASE: The patient was a 74‐year‐old man who was referred to our hospital for cancer on the right side of his tongue. He had previously undergone chemotherapy for HL involving the right side of his neck and achieved complete remission. Because he had cT3N2cM0 tongue cancer, glossectomy and bilateral neck dissection were performed. Surprisingly, histopathological examination revealed that there was neither metastatic lymph nodes nor lymphoma cells in his right neck. Moreover, there was no lymphatic structure in his remnant lymph nodes. CONCLUSION: This was a rare case in which complete remission of HL was confirmed by histopathological analysis. The absence of lymph node structure and lymphatic flow led to contralateral neck lymph node metastases of tongue cancer. |
