The present study aimed at examining the lymphomas in Iran.
This study was conducted in 1994 on patients' specimens who were referred to our centers during 1981-1994. Using the histochemical methods, the immunohistochemical markers were used to examine the biopsied specimens of 434 patients with non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's lymphomas. The patients were classified according to the updated Kiel and Rye classifications, respectively.
Out of the 385 cases that were diagnosed as lymphoma, 277 had non-Hodgkin's and 108 had Hodgkin's lymphomas. Sixty-four point five percent of those with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma had the B type disease; 7.5% had the T-type; and the remaining 28% had Hodgkin's lymphoma. In the present study, most (48%) patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma had mixed cellularity whereas in western countries the most common type is reported to be nodular sclerosis (69.4%).
The comparison made between the findings of this study and those of western countries indicates that high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are more prevalent in Iran.
本研究旨在调查伊朗的淋巴瘤情况。
本研究于1994年对1981年至1994年间转诊至我们中心的患者标本进行。采用组织化学方法，使用免疫组化标志物对434例非霍奇金淋巴瘤和霍奇金淋巴瘤患者的活检标本进行检查。患者分别根据更新后的基尔分类法和赖氏分类法进行分类。
在385例被诊断为淋巴瘤的病例中，277例为非霍奇金淋巴瘤，108例为霍奇金淋巴瘤。非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者中64.5%为B型疾病；7.5%为T型；其余28%为霍奇金淋巴瘤。在本研究中，大多数（48%）霍奇金淋巴瘤患者为混合细胞型，而在西方国家，最常见的类型据报道为结节硬化型（69.4%）。
本研究结果与西方国家的结果比较表明，高级别非霍奇金淋巴瘤在伊朗更为普遍。
