Malignant lymphomas involving the salivary glands are probably more common than has been previously recognized. They must be differentiated from the benign lymphoepithelial lesion, although there may be an association between the two. The entire histologic spectrum of malignant lymphomas found at other sites can be seen in the salivary gland. In this study of 59 patients with lymphoma affecting the salivary gland, a large percentage were found to have disseminated disease. We recommend the same rigorous clinical evaluation and staging procedures as used in patients who present with primary lymph node involvement.
累及唾液腺的恶性淋巴瘤可能比之前认为的更为常见。它们必须与良性淋巴上皮病变相鉴别，尽管两者之间可能存在关联。在唾液腺中可见到在其他部位发现的恶性淋巴瘤的整个组织学谱。在这项对59例累及唾液腺淋巴瘤患者的研究中，发现很大比例的患者有播散性疾病。我们建议采用与原发性淋巴结受累患者相同严格的临床评估和分期程序。
