Peripheral T-cell lymphoma of salivary gland is a rare clinical entity most commonly involving the parotid gland and mimics a salivary gland carcinoma. It has an aggressive clinical course with poor prognosis. Majority of the cases are diagnosed after surgical excision whereas the principal treatment is non-surgical (chemotherapy). Core biopsy is an excellent method of identifying these indeterminate lesions pre-operatively which would avoid unnecessary surgical intervention. We present a case report with diagnostic challenge in identifying peripheral T cell lymphoma of salivary gland with the review of literature.
涎腺外周T细胞淋巴瘤是一种罕见的临床实体,最常累及腮腺,临床表现类似涎腺癌。其临床病程具有侵袭性,预后较差。大多数病例在手术切除后确诊,而主要治疗方法为非手术治疗(化疗)。核心活检是术前识别这些难以确定的病变的极佳方法,可避免不必要的手术干预。我们通过文献复习,报告一例在涎腺外周T细胞淋巴瘤诊断中面临挑战的病例。
