To determine the spectrum of various types of lymphoma in Bahrain according to the latest World Health Organization classification criteria. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted for all new lymphoma cases diagnosed at Salmaniya Medical Complex, Manama, Bahrain during the period from January 2010 to December 2015. Results: Two hundred and twenty-one new cases of lymphoma in Bahraini patients were diagnosed in the study period. Eighty patients had Hodgkin lymphoma, 140 had non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and one patient had composite lymphoma. In the Hodgkin lymphoma group, nodular sclerosis type was the most frequent type (48.75%), followed by mixed-cellularity type (27.5%), and nodular-lymphocyte predominant type (16.25%). In the non-Hodgkin lymphoma group, 124 (88.6%) cases were B-cell lymphomas, while the remaining were T-cell lymphomas. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was the most frequent type of non-Hodgkin B-cell type lymphoma (55.7%), followed by follicular lymphoma (10%). Conclusion: The distribution of lymphoma in Bahrain is similar to neighboring Middle East countries with a predominance of Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
根据世界卫生组织最新分类标准，确定巴林各类淋巴瘤的谱系。方法：对2010年1月至2015年12月期间在巴林麦纳麦萨勒曼尼亚医疗中心诊断的所有新淋巴瘤病例进行回顾性研究。结果：在研究期间，共诊断出221例巴林淋巴瘤新病例。80例为霍奇金淋巴瘤，140例为非霍奇金淋巴瘤，1例为复合淋巴瘤。在霍奇金淋巴瘤组中，结节硬化型最为常见（48.75%），其次是混合细胞型（27.5%）和结节性淋巴细胞为主型（16.25%）。在非霍奇金淋巴瘤组中，124例（88.6%）为B细胞淋巴瘤，其余为T细胞淋巴瘤。弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤是非霍奇金B细胞型淋巴瘤中最常见的类型（55.7%），其次是滤泡性淋巴瘤（10%）。结论：巴林淋巴瘤的分布与中东邻国相似，以霍奇金淋巴瘤和弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤为主。
