To evaluate the contribution of minor salivary gland biopsy (mSGB) histology in diagnosing primary SS (pSS)-associated non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma (NHL).
pSS patients with mSGB at NHL diagnosis were included.
Among the 24 patients (92.3% female, mean age 61.3 years) with an mSGB at NHL diagnosis, 13 (54.2%) had mSGB histology-revealed NHL (mSGB+); it was the only site enabling NHL diagnosis in 10/13 (76.9%) patients. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma was found in 23/24 (95.8%) patients; 100% of mSGB+ identified MALT lymphomas. pSS and lymphoma characteristics were comparable for mSGB+ and mSGB- patients. Eight (61.5%) of the 13 mSGB+ patients and all 11 mSGB- patients were treated for lymphoma. Between diagnosis and 1 year of follow-up, the ESSDAI without the NHL item remained stable (7.4 vs 5.0; P = 0.33) for the five untreated patients, while it decreased significantly for the 19 treated patients (15.8 vs 5.1; P = 0.004).
For pSS patients with suspected NHL, mSGB histology enabled NHL diagnosis in half of them, MALT was found in 95.8% and all mSGB+ were MALT lymphomas, thereby avoiding more invasive biopsy. Our results suggest that mSGB should be obtained at pSS diagnosis and repeated during follow-up when NHL is suspected.
评估小唾液腺活检(mSGB)组织学检查在诊断原发性干燥综合征(pSS)相关非霍奇金B细胞淋巴瘤(NHL)中的作用。
纳入在诊断NHL时进行了mSGB的pSS患者。
在诊断NHL时进行了mSGB的24例患者(92.3%为女性,平均年龄61.3岁)中,13例(54.2%)mSGB组织学检查显示为NHL(mSGB+);在13例患者中的10例(76.9%)中,它是唯一能够诊断NHL的部位。24例患者中有23例(95.8%)发现黏膜相关淋巴组织(MALT)淋巴瘤;mSGB+的患者中100%为MALT淋巴瘤。mSGB+和mSGB-患者的pSS和淋巴瘤特征具有可比性。13例mSGB+患者中有8例(61.5%)和所有11例mSGB-患者接受了淋巴瘤治疗。在诊断至随访1年期间,5例未治疗患者的不包括NHL项目的欧洲抗风湿病联盟疾病活动指数(ESSDAI)保持稳定(7.4对5.0;P = 0.33),而19例接受治疗的患者该指数显著下降(15.8对5.1;P = 0.004)。
对于疑似NHL的pSS患者,mSGB组织学检查使其中半数患者得以诊断NHL,95.8%发现MALT,且所有mSGB+均为MALT淋巴瘤,从而避免了更具侵入性的活检。我们的结果表明,应在pSS诊断时进行mSGB,并在随访期间怀疑NHL时重复进行。
