Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymphomas affecting the submandibular glands are very uncommon and few reports are currently available in the literature. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to describe the clinical and microscopic features of an original series of lymphomas affecting the submandibular glands. MATERIAL AND METHODS The pathology files of two institutions were searched for lymphoma cases affecting the submandibular glands. The original hematoxylin and eosin, and immunohistochemical slides were revised by a pathologist for diagnosis confirmation following the revised 4th edition of the World Health Organization classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. Clinical data regarding age, sex, clinical manifestation, treatment, follow-up and status at last appointment were retrieved from the patients' medical charts. RESULTS During the period investigated, 16 cases were included in the study. Females predominated (10:6) with a mean age of 57.8 years-old. Tumors usually presented as asymptomatic swellings. MALT lymphoma represented the most common subtype, followed by diffuse large B cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. Three patients died, one of them affected by plasmablastic lymphoma, one by DLBCL and one by MALT lymphoma. CONCLUSIONS Low-grade B cell lymphomas predominate in the submandibular glands, but DLBCL and other subtypes may also be rarely diagnosed in this salivary gland.

Abstract
Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (ENMZL) of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), a rare subtype of B-cell lymphoma, is typically associated with Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection, especially in gastric cases. However, this article presents 2 unique cases of H pylori-negative colonic ENMZL, challenging the conventional understanding of the disease. The first case involves an 80-year-old male diagnosed with Stage 1E ENMZL in the descending colon, and the second describes a 74-year-old male with sigmoid colon ENMZL. Both cases lacked H pylori infection, adding complexity to their management. Accompanying these case studies is a comprehensive literature review, delving into the epidemiology, pathology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of H pylori-negative ENMZL, with a focus on gastrointestinal involvement. This review highlights the importance of considering H pylori-negative cases in ENMZL diagnosis and management, illustrating the need for further research and individualized treatment approaches in this uncommon lymphoma subtype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Parotid gland lymphoma (PGL) is a rare and challenging diagnosis. Different lymphomas can develop in the parotid gland, with the most common being the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, which originates directly from the glandular parenchyma. Other histologic subtypes arise from both intraglandular and extraglandular parotid lymph nodes. A consensus on diagnosis and treatment of PGL is still lacking, and published data is scarce and heterogeneous. METHODS We performed a systematic review of the literature, including studies published after 2001, when the WHO classification of lymphoid tumours was introduced. RESULTS Twenty retrospective studies were included in the analyses, eight of which focused exclusively on MALT lymphomas. Final analysis included 612 cases of PGL, with a 1.68:1 F/M ratio. MALT lymphoma was the most common histology, followed by follicular and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Most cases were low stages (IE/IIE acc. Ann Arbour, 76.5%) and only 10% of patients presented with symptoms, most commonly pain (4.8%) and B symptoms (2.2%). A high prevalence of associated autoimmune diseases was found, particularly Sjögren's syndrome, that affected up to 70% of patients with MALT lymphoma. In most cases diagnosis was achieved through parotidectomy (57.5%), or open biopsy (31.2%). Treatment strategies were either surgical, non-surgical or a combination of modalities. Surgery as a single-modality treatment was reported in about 20% of patients, supposing it might be a valuable option for selected patients. CONCLUSIONS Our review showed that the diagnosis and treatment of PGLs is far from being standardized and needs further, more homogeneous reports to reach consensus.

Abstract
DISEASE OVERVIEW Marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) are collectively the second most common type of indolent lymphoma. DIAGNOSIS Three subtypes of MZL are recognized: splenic, extranodal, and nodal. The diagnosis is secured following biopsy of an involved nodal or extranodal site demonstrating a clonal B-cell infiltrate with CD5 and CD10 negative immunophenotype most common. Some cases will features IgM paraprotein, but MYD88 L256P mutations are less frequent than in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Prognostication Several prognostic models have been developed, including the MALT-IPI and the MZL-IPI. The latter is broadly applicable across MZL subtypes and incorporates elevated serum LDH, anemia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia and nodal or disseminated subtypes as independent predictors of outcome. TREATMENT We discuss suggested approach to therapy for both early and advanced-stage disease, with reference to chemo-immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and emerging treatments in relapsed/refractory disease such as BTK inhibitors.

Abstract
Primary hepatic lymphoma is a rare disease, and primary hepatic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma accounts for only 0.3% of all primary hepatic lymphomas. Herein, we report a case of primary hepatic MALT lymphoma in a male patient in his mid-40 s with chronic hepatitis B infection. The patient visited our department for further examination of a hepatic nodule initially visualized through abdominal pelvic computed tomography (CT). Based on imaging studies and elevated levels of tumor markers, the tumor was suspected to be hepatocellular carcinoma. A laparoscopic inferior sectionectomy (segment 5 and 6) was performed, and immunohistochemical staining revealed that the tumor was positive for CD20, B-cell lymphoma 2, pan-cytokeratin (CK), and CK19 markers. Pathological findings revealed it to be a primary hepatic MALT lymphoma. After surgery, bone marrow biopsies and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography integrated with CT scanning confirmed that there was no other involvement. The patient did not receive chemotherapy, and there was no recurrence during the 24-month follow-up period. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common malignancy in patients with chronic hepatitis B, but rare tumors such as primary MALT lymphoma can also occur, so a careful approach is required for their differentiation.

Abstract
Imaging of parotid gland tumors is challenging due to the wide variety of differential diagnoses. Malignant parotid tumors can have very similar features to benign ones, such as slow growth and displacement instead of infiltration of neighboring structures. Malignant and benign tumors may therefore not be clinically distinguishable. Correct characterization of parotid tumors (i.e., benign or malignant) determines preoperative treatment planning and is important in optimizing the individualized surgical plan. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice for evaluation of suspected parotid gland lesions and differentiation between benign and malignant lesions. Certain conventional MRI features can suggest whether a mass is more likely to be a benign or low-grade malignancy or a high-grade malignancy and adding diffusion-weighted imaging or advanced MRI techniques like perfusion can aid in this distinction. Morphological features seen on MRI, such as low signal on T2-w, infiltrative changes or ill-defined margins, change over time and diffusion restriction can point to the malignant nature of the lesion. MRI is useful for detection and localization of the lesion(s), and associated findings like perineural spread of tumor, lymph node involvement and infiltrative changes of the surrounding tissues. In this pictorial essay, we present selected images of a variety of benign and malignant parotid tumors and emphasize the MRI features that may be useful in their characterization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the lower incidence of lymphoma-related death but higher background mortality in patients with early-stage mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, it is critically important to examine how age affects a treatment's survival benefit. METHODS 9,467 patients with early-stage MALT lymphoma in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database treated between 2000-2015 were extracted and analyzed. Primary therapy was classified as radiotherapy (n = 3,407), chemotherapy (n = 1,294), and other/unknown treatments including observation (n = 4,766). Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was conducted to balance baseline characteristics between groups. Relative survival (RS), standardized mortality ratio (SMR), and transformed Cox regression were conducted to compare survival differences between treatment modalities by controlling for the background mortality. Radiotherapy-age interaction was examined. RESULTS Across age-groups, early-stage MALT lymphoma patients were at lower risk of lymphoma-related death than death due to other causes. The 10-year overall survival (OS, 73.8%) and RS (96.6%) rates were significantly higher, and the SMR (1.14) significantly lower, with radiotherapy than with chemotherapy (OS, 61.7%; RS, 86.4%; SMR, 1.54; P < 0.001) or other/unknown treatments (OS, 61.1%; RS, 87.2%; SMR, 1.41; P < 0.001). By multivariable analysis and IPTW, radiotherapy remained an independent predictor of better RS (HR 0.81, 95%CI, 0.73-0.89; P < 0.001). A significant interaction between age and radiotherapy was identified for both RS (Pinteraction = 0.016) and OS (Pinteraction = 0.024), indicating greater benefit in young adults. CONCLUSION Radiotherapy was associated with significant better survival in early-stage MALT lymphoma, especially in young adults.

Abstract
We present the case of a 79-year-old male, who was initially treated for mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT lymphoma) of the right eyelid, and later for disease relapse in the stomach. During follow up, he was noted to have developed left arm nodules just medial to the proximal biceps muscle, which were found to be multiply enlarged lymph nodes on subsequent ultrasound imaging. Excisional biopsy of these nodes revealed MALT lymphoma. He was initially referred for consideration of radiation, but a restaging F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography integrated with computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) further identified a focus of suspicious uptake in left calf, which was later also biopsy proven to be MALT lymphoma. His disease was upstaged as the result of this later finding, and the overall recommendation for treatment changed to favor systemic treatment with Rituximab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salivary gland extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT lymphoma) is uncommon and has not been studied extensively. We aimed to investigate the features of clinicopathological and molecular changes of salivary MALT lymphoma. METHODS Seventy-two cases of primary salivary MALT lymphoma that had clinicopathological information available were utilized in this study. MALT1 gene translocation, trisomy 3, and trisomy 18 were detected by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 software package. RESULTS The ratio of male to female was 1:2.8, and the median age was 57.0 years. 12.5% (9/72) of the patients presented with multiple swellings. Among the others with solitary mass, the parotid gland was involved most frequently (47/63,74.6%), followed by the palate (7/63, 11.1%). 34.7% of patients had an autoimmune disease, with Sjögren syndrome (SS) being the most common. Among the 70 cases successfully performed, it was identified that trisomy 3 was the most frequent molecular change (41/70, 58.6%), followed by trisomy 18 (7/70, 10%) and MALT1 translocation (5/70, 7.1%). The tumor tissue tended to exhibit trisomy 3 in patients without SS (p = 0.038). The 5-year overall survival was 94.1%, and the 5-year disease-free survival was 85.3% (mean follow-up time: 104.7 months). The patients without SS and trisomy 18 had a prolonged recurrence-free survival (p = 0.015, p = 0.001 respectively). CONCLUSION Salivary gland MALT lymphoma is associated with autoimmune diseases, and trisomy 3 is the most common genetic change. Trisomy 18 can be used to predict the possibility of tumor relapse.

Abstract
Despite the large number of studies devoted to the study of systemic sclerosis (SSc), the high risk of developing lymphomas in this disease, the relationship of their development with certain subtypes of SSc and specific SSc-associated autoantibodies is still debated in the literature. AIM To study demographic, clinical, laboratory and immunological characteristics of patients with a combination of primary Sjogrens syndrome (pSS) and SSc and diagnosed lymphoproliferative diseases (LPDs); to characterize morphological/immunomorphological variants and course of non-Hodgkins lymphomas (NHL), developing in patients with these rheumatic diseases (RDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS In 19982018 at the Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology, 13 patients with clinical and laboratory manifestations of pSS (12) and SSc (13) were diagnosed with various lymphoproliferative diseases (LPDs). In 3 cases, an induced RD was observed: 1 case of a diffuse, rapidly progressive form of SSc, 2 cases of pSS in combination with a limited form of SSc after chemotherapy and radiation therapy of Hodgkins lymphoma (1), B-cell NHL (1) and CR of the breast (1) respectively. The first 2 cases were excluded from the analysis, since the development of lymphomas is not pathogenetically associated with RD. RESULTS Of 11 patients with LPDs, 10 after a long course of RDs were diagnosed with NHL [MALT lymphoma of the parotid salivary glands 7, disseminated MALT lymphoma 2, disseminated MALT lymphoma with transformation into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) 1]. RDs debuted with Raynauds phenomenon (RP) in 64.5% and pSS manifestations in 45.5% of patients. Stomatological manifestations of pSS were characterized by recurrent parotitis in 36%, significant parotid gland enlargement with massive infiltration of labial salivary glands (focus score 4) in 100%, severe xerostomia in 70%, extraglandular manifestations and lymphadenopathy in 50% of patients. The course of the SSc was characterized by mild RP with various types of capillaroscopic changes and mild lung changes and non-significant progression during long-term follow-up (median 22 years). The entire spectrum of SSс specific antibodies (anticentromere antibodies 60%, antibodies to ribonucleoprotease III 30%, Pm/Scl 10%), excepting antibodies to topoisomerase I, as well as pSS specific autoantibodies (antiRo/La 70%, RF (rheumatoid factor) 90%), were detected in patients with a combination of these RDs. CONCLUSION pSS is often combined with a limited form of SSc regardless of the type of autoantibodies detected. The presence of pSS, rather than SSc, is a high-risk factor for the development of NHL in this group of patients. The patients with pSS and SSc are characterized by a steady progression of pSS with a slow and mild course of SSc throughout the observation period. The development of severe stomatological manifestations and high immunological activity of pSS contribute to the development of localized MALT lymphomas (70%) and disseminated MALT lymphomas (30%) with primary lesions of the salivary glands and transformation into DLBCL in case of their late diagnosis. The optimal method for preventing the development of NHL in this group of patients is the early diagnosis of pSS, the appointment of alkylating cytotoxic agents and/or anti-B-cell therapy in the early stages of pSS. Given the possibility of transformation of localized NHL into DLBCL, for early diagnosis, minimally invasive surgical biopsies of significantly enlarged parotid salivary glands should be performed before glucocorticoids are prescribed. Detection of positive B-cell clonality and lymphoepithelial lesions in the parotid salivary gland is considered a predictor of MALT lymphoma development during follow-up. Localized and disseminated MALT lymphomas in patients with pSS and SSc respond well to therapy, in contrast to MALT lymphomas transformed into DLBCL.

Abstract
Primary lymphomas of the salivary glands are rare tumors seen in the head and neck. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman with an extranodal marginal cell lymphoma of her submandibular gland, whose primary presenting symptom was a slow swelling of her neck. Fine-needle aspiration of the mass was performed, followed by CT imaging studies, and both tests showed inconclusive results. The tumor was excised and the patient has been monitored with no recurrence to date. This case adds to the diverse differential diagnoses of primary tumors in the head and neck, as early consideration, identification, and management of this etiology is essential for the clinician to ensure the best patient outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma secondary to Sjögren' s syndrome (SS) (SS-MALT lymphoma) in salivary gland and to explore the value of the combined application of histopathological morphology, protein expression and molecular phenotype in pathological diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of SS-MALT lymphoma. METHODS Sixteen patients with SS-MALT lymphoma were collected from 260 patients who were diagnosed with SS in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from January 1997 to December 2016. Twelve patients with non-MALT lymphoma secondary to SS (non-SS-MALT lymphoma) in salivary gland were selected as controls. The clinical data of the patients were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. All the patients were followed up until December 20, 2019. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques were used to observe the histologic characteristics and to detect the manifestations of light chain restrictive expression, immunoglobulin (Ig) gene clonal rearrangement, chromosome translocation and gene abnormality, so as to evaluate their values in pathological diagnosis and prognostic evaluation. RESULTS The malignant transformation rate of SS to MALT lymphoma was about 6.15%, ranged from 3 to 240 months, during which 2 patients died due to high-level deterioration. Microscopically, the acini of the glandular tissue were atrophied and destroyed. The tumor cells dominated by central cell-like lymphocytes grew diffusely, destroying the epithelial islands. All SS-MALT lymphoma cases were positive in CD20 and Pax5. Half of them had the Ki-67 proliferation index of 10% or less, and half greater than 10%. 93.75% cases expressed AE1/AE3 protein, which showed the residual glandular epithelium. All the tumor cells were negative in CD3ε, and the plasma cells were detected by CD138 antigen. The light chain restrictive expression of κ and λ was 37.5% in SS-MALT lymphoma group. The positive detection rates of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH)-FR1, IgH-FR2, IgH-FR3, immunoglobulin kappa chain (IgK)-A, and IgK-B in SS-MALT lymphoma group were 33.3%, 53.3%, 33.3%, 20.0%, and 26.7%, respectively, and 93.3% when together used with IgH and IgK. The positive rates of the MALT1, IGH and BCL6 genes with dual color break-apart probes were 36.4%, 27.3% and 27.3%, and the detection rate of chromosome translocation and gene abnormality by applying the three probes was 72.7%. CONCLUSION There are no specific histological characteristics and protein phenotypes in the histologic diagnosis of SS-MALT lymphoma in salivary gland. The combined application of histopathological manifestations, immunohistochemistry, PCR and FISH techniques helps the accurate pathologic diagnosis of the disease. Although SS-MALT lymphoma is considered as an indolent lymphoma with a relatively favorable prognosis, the regular return visit and long-term follow-up should be conducted to detect the clues of recurrence and advanced deterioration.

Abstract
Background: Lymphoma of the sublingual gland is rare, representing 1% of all salivary gland lymphomas. In this case report, we present three new cases and compare them to previously published cases, with the aim of characterizing the clinical, morphological, histopathological, and genetic features of this type of malignancy. Materials and Methods: We provide a clinical description of three cases along with a characterization of the microscopic features, including morphology, and immunohistochemistry. In addition, we analysed possible cytogenetic rearrangements with the use of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Results: Case 1: A 61-year-old male presenting with a painless swelling of the floor of the mouth diagnosed as extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) of the left sublingual gland. The patient is alive with no evidence of disease after his fourth treatment regimen following several relapses. Case 2: A 68-year-old female with a prior history of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) presenting with a tender swelling of the left sublingual gland as well as the right submandibular gland. The lesions were diagnosed as relapsing MCL. The patient died of unrelated causes after 18 months of treatment. Case 3: A 75-year-old female presenting with a swelling of the floor of the mouth diagnosed as follicular lymphoma (FL) of the left sublingual gland. The patient received chemotherapy along with radiotherapy and was still alive 10 years after the diagnosis. Conclusion: The three cases of sublingual gland lymphomas presented in this case report resemble lymphomas of other major salivary glands. The clinician should be aware of this type of malignancy and that the clinical presentation may not differ from benign lesions or other more common malignancies in this location.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to highlight several misleading imaging and clinical aspects of parotid gland lymphoma, taking our personal experience and relevant literature reports into consideration. The records of all patients diagnosed with lymphoma in the parotid gland between 2005 and 2017 were examined retrospectively. Sixty-seven patients were included in this study. The mean age was 61.4 years. The most frequent histological entities were marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (31.3%) and follicular lymphoma (28.4%). The tumour was stage I in 35 cases (52.2%), stage II in 13 cases (19.4%), stage III in 11 cases (16.4%), and stage IV in eight cases (11.9%). B symptoms were seen in only three patients (4.5%). The diagnosis was made after parotidectomy in 51 cases (76.1%), by core needle biopsy in 14 cases (20.9%), and by means of open biopsy in the remaining two cases (3.0%). Parotid gland lymphoma represents a diagnostically challenging, multifaceted entity that can easily mimic both benign and malignant conditions. This entity should be included in the differential diagnosis of almost all types of parotid lesion, as it seems to play the role of a great pretender.

Abstract
Lymphoma of the parotid gland is a rare malignant tumor, and cohort studies on the survival rates of affected patients are sparse. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics of patients diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the parotid gland. This study included 31 patients diagnosed with lymphoma of the parotid gland. Data on the pathological subtypes, the WHO classifications of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, and the Ann Arbor staging, treatment modalities, and survival times were collected and analyzed. Among the 31 patients, there were 18 cases of extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), 7 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and 6 cases of follicular lymphoma (FL). The tumors were most-commonly located in the superficial lobe of the parotid gland (28/31), and three cases involved the deep lobe of the parotid gland (3/31). The overall median survival from the diagnosis of lymphoma was estimated to be 62 months, with 3-year and 5-year survival rates of 83.9% and 77.4%, respectively. A univariate analysis demonstrated statistically significant differences in accelerated tumor growth (P<0.001) and the presence of tumor capsules (P<0.001). A multivariate analysis demonstrated statistically significant differences in the accelerated tumor growth (P=0.029). MALT lymphoma was the most common subtype of primary parotid lymphoma. The prognosis is better than it is with other malignant parotid tumors. The presence of accelerated tumor growth was significantly correlated with overall survival time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sjögren syndrome (SS) is considered as a major etiologic factor for primary salivary gland lymphoma (SGL). However, the percentage of SGL that is caused by SS (and thus the real impact of SS on SGL epidemiology) is unclear. We aimed to assess the prevalence of SS in patients with SGL through a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS Electronic databases were searched for studies assessing the presence of SS in patients with SGL. Pooled prevalence of SS in SGL was calculated, with a subgroup analysis based on histotype (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue [MALT] vs non-MALT). RESULTS Sixteen studies with 665 SGLs were included. Pooled prevalence of SS in SGL was 18.2%, with high heterogeneity among studies. In MALT SGL, the prevalence of SS was 29.5%, with moderate heterogeneity. In non-MALT SGL, the prevalence of SS was 0%, with null heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS SS seems to be responsible for a significant but minor portion of SGLs. SS appears involved in MALT-type SGL but not in other histotypes.

Abstract
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma arising from the salivary glands is usually associated with chronic infection or autoimmune syndromes, such as primary Sjogren syndrome. The occurrence of t(11;18)/API2-MALT1 is rare in salivary MALT lymphoma. Here we describe a case of API2-MALT1 fusion-positive MALT lymphoma of the bilateral submandibular glands with no evidence of autoimmune syndromes. A 70-year-old man complained of a painless swelling in the bilateral submandibular gland. Serology examination results were negative for anti-SSA and anti-SSB. His right submandibular gland was dissected, and he was diagnosed with MALT lymphoma with the API2-MALT1 fusion gene. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography scanning indicated mild fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the left submandibular gland and liver. He was treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone. After 6 years, the patient is alive and disease free. In the present case, the patient with API2-MALT1 fusion-positive MALT lymphoma had a good outcome despite the advanced clinical stage.

Abstract
Background Thymic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is rare and also known for its association with autoimmune diseases, especially Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS), which could affect the systemic organs, and pulmonary involvement often reveals multiple lung cysts. Case presentation A 40-year-old woman presented with an anterior mediastinal mass and multiple lung cysts on computed tomography. We suspected thymoma concomitant with lymphangioleiomyomatosis and performed a total thymectomy and wedge resection of the lung as a surgical biopsy. The histopathological diagnosis of the mediastinal mass was a MALT lymphoma, and there were no specific findings in the lung specimen. She had a history of SjS, which had been overlooked during the initial work-up. Conclusions A history of SjS should raise suspicion of a MALT lymphoma for the differential diagnosis of an anterior mediastinal mass. A precise history taking is crucial for the correct diagnosis, and we could have avoided a lung resection in our case.

Abstract
PURPOSE Most salivary gland malignancies are primary tumors, but in our medical center one of six is non-primary. The relative scarcity of such reports justifies studying them. SUBJECTS & METHODS We studied patients' demographic and clinical parameters, salivary tumors/metastasis, diagnosis and treatment, and survival rates. RESULTS Of all our salivary malignancy patients over the last 22 years, 15% (18/119) had non-primary malignant tumors, all located in the parotid glands. Of these, nine had skin cancer (SCC), 3 malignant solid tumors and 6 hematological systemic malignancies. Four had concomitant second malignancy. Mean age was 70.2 ± 13.8 years, 66.7% of the patients were males, 27.8% were smokers, none reported alcohol use. The most prevalent diagnostic tools used were CT (16 patients), FNA (13) and PET-CT (12). Eleven of 18 patients died from the disease despite receiving therapy: 6 SCC patients, 2 CLL patients and all 3 with solid tumors. All four lymphoma patients survived as did another three SCC patients. CONCLUSIONS Chemotherapy and radiotherapy for systemic disease prolonged life rather than surgery. Patients with poor prognosis non-primary salivary tumors should be treated conservatively; surgery should be for those without widespread metastases or systemic disease. Sometimes a palliative patient may benefit from tumor debulking.

Abstract
Mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is rare in the pediatric population, but primary Sjogren syndrome is a well-established risk factor for this malignancy. This report describes 2 cases of MALT lymphoma in children with Sjogren syndrome. A 15-year-old girl developed MALT lymphoma of the parotid gland as the presenting symptom of Sjogren syndrome. In the second case, a 15-year-old boy with known Sjogren syndrome presenting mainly with arthritis was diagnosed with MALT lymphoma, also of the parotid gland. With early diagnosis and treatment, outcomes in pediatric MALT lymphoma are generally encouraging. Pediatric oncology specialists should be aware of the association of MALT lymphoma with Sjogren syndrome and have a high index of suspicion for this malignant complication.

Abstract
Salivary gland malignancies are rare tumors that comprise multiple histologic entities with diverse clinical behavior. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most frequent primary salivary malignancy, followed by adenoid cystic and acinic cell carcinoma. Although most salivary malignancies are asymptomatic, presentation with a rapidly enlarging mass may be accompanied by pain, functional neurologic deficits, soft-tissue invasion, or nodal enlargement. Assessment of clinical behavior and physical exam greatly contributes to diagnostic workup. Preoperative imaging, to include ultrasound, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging, may assist with surgical planning. Limitations of preoperative fine-needle aspiration cytology mean that, in some cases, definitive histologic diagnosis may not be established until therapeutic surgery is undertaken. Treatment strategies rely on oncologic resection of the primary site with negative margins as well as adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with high-risk features, such as high-grade histology, advanced T class, or perineural invasion. Regional lymphadenectomy is recommended for involved nodal basins. Patients with clinically node-negative disease at high risk for occult nodal metastases may be considered for elective lymphadenectomy or radiotherapy. Use of chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting, in combination with radiotherapy, remains controversial. The rate of objective response to palliative chemotherapy in recurrent or metastatic salivary gland malignancy remains low. In studies that include a significant proportion of adenoid cystic carcinomas, whether disease stability represents an indolent disease process or the true effect of a therapeutic drug may be difficult to discern. Recognition of genetic alterations and protein expression unique to salivary malignancies presents exciting new opportunities for molecularly targeted therapy, although the response to molecularly targeted therapy in studies has been modest thus far.

Abstract
Between 11 and 37% of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) patients present with disease involvement in multiple mucosal sites (MMS). We analyzed 405 EMZL patients seen between 1995 and 2017: 265 (65.4%) patients presented with stage I disease, 49 of 309 (15.8%) patients with bone marrow involvement, and 35 of 328 (10.7%) patients with monoclonal gammopathy (MG). Forty-three (10.6%) patients had MMS presentation, which was more frequently seen in patients aged >60 years (55.8%). Five (17.9%) of 28 MMS patients had MG. MMS patients commonly exhibited the International Prognostic Index (IPI) >2 (79.1%), Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) >2 (39.5%), and Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (MALT-IPI) 2-3 (60.5%). Both MMS presentation and MG were associated with shorter survival univariately. In multivariable Cox regression models, shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were observed in patients with MMS (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.08 and 2.92, respectively), age ≥60 years (HR = 1.52 and 2.45, respectively), and in patients who failed to attain a complete remission following initial therapy (HR = 3.27 and 2.13, respectively). Elevated lactate dehydrogenase was associated with shorter PFS (HR = 1.92), while anemia (HR = 2.46) was associated with shortened OS. MALT-IPI ≥2 (HR = 2.47 and 4.75), FLIPI >2 (HR = 1.65 and 2.09), and IPI >2 (HR = 2.09 and 1.73) were associated with shorter PFS and OS, respectively. Higher grade transformation (HGT) occurred in 11 (25.6%) MMS patients with a 5-year cumulative incidence of 13.2% (95% CI 4.7-26.1%). EMZL patients with MMS presentation represent a novel clinical subset associated with shorter PFS, OS, and higher incidence of HGT that needs novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors in lymphoma of parotid origin. METHODS Clinicopathological data of the patients with parotid lymphoma who were initially diagnosed in Peking University Hospital of Stomatology from 2006 to 2016 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The patients were followed-up for 5 to 149 months with a median period of 45 months, and the factors influencing the prognosis were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 41 patients with primary parotid lymphoma were included in this retrospective study. The rate of male to female was 1:2.15. The median age was 57 years (ranging from 8 months to 91 years). According to WHO classification, 40 cases (97.1%) were diagnosed as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), including 15 cases of extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), 14 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) as well as 4 cases of follicular lymphoma, while other subtypes of NHL were rare. Only one case was diagnosed as Hodgkin lymphoma. Regarding the clinical staging at the initial diagnosis, 37 patients (90.2%) were diagnosed as stage IE or IIE of the disease, while 4 patients (9.8%) as stage IIIE or stage IVE. Seven patients (17.1%) had a history of Sjögren syndrome (SS), all of whom were MALT lymphoma. The mean ill duration of the 41 patients were 20.7 months. Thirty-two patients (78%) presented a slowly growing painless mass in the parotid gland. Treatment options included localized therapy and systemic therapy, all of whom had good curative effect. Nine patients (21.9%) died during the follow-up period. The overall survival rates of 2-year and 5-year were 84.5% and 81.3% respectively. The univariate analysis demonstrated statistically significant differences for accelerated growth of tumor (P=0.005), and presence of tumor capsule (P=0.011). The multi-univariate analysis demonstrated statistically significant differences for presence of tumor capsule (P=0.041). CONCLUSION A large majority of primary parotid lymphoma were NHL, among which MALT lymphoma and DLBCL were common subtypes. Most patients presented an indolent mass in parotid gland, which should be distinguished from the parotid benign tumors. SS is closely related to the pathogenesis of MALT lymphoma. The prognosis is better than that of other malignant parotid tumors. Absence of tumor capsule may predict a poor prognosis in patients with parotid lymphoma.

Abstract
The field of haematopathology is rapidly evolving and for the non-specialized pathologist receiving a specimen with the possibility of a lymphoid malignancy may be a daunting experience. The coincidence of the publication, in 2017, of the WHO monographies on head and neck and haematopoietic and lymphoid tumours prompted us to write this review. Although not substantially different from lymphomas elsewhere, lymphomas presenting in this region pose some specific problems and these are central to the review. In addition, differences in subtype frequency and morphological variations within the same entity are discussed. The difficulty in diagnosis related to some specimens led us to briefly mention common subtypes of systemic lymphomas presenting in the head and neck region.

Abstract
RATIONALE Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is an extranodal low-grade B cell lymphoma that generally exhibits an indolent clinical course. Currently, the application of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) in MALT lymphoma is still controversial. Herein, we reported a case of using F-FDG PET/CT for staging and response assessment of primary parotid MALT lymphoma with multiple sites involvement. As far as we know, there are no similar case reports have been published before. PATIENT CONCERNS A 71-year-old woman, who received mass resection twice during the past 2 years due to the repeatedly relapse of facial painless masses and diagnosed as reactive lymphoid hyperplasia by pathologic tests. However, the pathological diagnosis was then changed to primary parotid MALT lymphoma after left parotidectomy operation because of a new mass found in her left parotid. Four months later, the right eyelid of the patient swelled with a blurred vision. Then, F-FDG PET/CT scan was performed for staging, and the imaging results showed an abnormal increase of F-FDG uptake in multiple sites including bilateral ocular adnexal, lungs, pleura, occipital subcutaneous tissue, left kidney, and lymph nodes. DIAGNOSES The patient was diagnosed as primary parotid MALT lymphoma with Ann Arbor stage of IVA based on the F-FDG PET/CT findings. INTERVENTIONS The patient received 4 cycles of chemotherapy, followed by a partial metabolic remission (PMR), which was determined by interim F-FDG PET/CT, and finally additional 2 cycles of chemotherapy. OUTCOMES The follow-up study illustrated that the patient had been alive and doing well at 12 months after chemotherapy. LESSONS Although MALT lymphoma normally localizes in the primary organs, the involvement of multiple organs and lymph nodes is possible. The use of PET/CT demonstrated significant clinical values in the accurate staging and response assessment of F-FDG-avid MALT lymphoma. It is potentially useful for indicating the progress and transformation of MALT lymphoma, and guidance in localization of pathological biopsy. It is also helpful for clinicians to choose reasonable treatment strategy and improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Primary extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (EN-NHL) are a heterogeneous group of malignancies that involve numerous entities with significant difference in terms of tumor site locations, prognostic factors, biology expression, and therapeutic options. In the literature, many EN-NHL types were reported from limited series which only allowed narrow views for elucidating prognostic factors and defining the role of loco-regional therapies in the era of new systemic and biologically targeted therapies. The Rare Cancer Network (RCN), an international multidisciplinary consortium, has published a number of reports on several EN-NHL sites which included many gland locations. In this review, we will focus on the recent literature for a selected number of EN-NHL types in both exocrine and endocrine gland locations. We aim to provide renewed and clear messages for the best practice in 2019 for diagnosis, histopathology, treatments, and also their prognostic implications. We believe that better understanding of molecular and genetic characteristics of these particular diseases is crucial for an appropriate management in the era of personalized treatment developments.

Abstract
Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (EMZLs) of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) are indolent lymphomas which can present at any extranodal site. The most frequent localizations (other than stomach) are ocular adnexa, salivary gland, skin, lung and thyroid. Chronic inflammation and antigenic stimulation are a potential risk for the development of MALT lymphomas. While Helicobacter Pylori (HP) is known to be associated with gastric MALT lymphoma and antibiotic therapy is effective in the setting of HP-positive, other microorganisms (such as Chlamydophila Psittaci, Campylobacter Jejiuni, Borrelia Burgdoferi) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of non-gastric MALT lymphomas. However, antibiotic therapy has not been extensively investigated for the non-gastric type, except for ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma, which could benefit from an upfront treatment with doxycycline. Surgery, radiotherapy, Rituximab alone or in combination with chemotherapy and "chemo-free" approaches, including lenalidomide, have shown efficacy in the treatment of non-gastric MALT lymphomas.

Abstract
RATIONALE Primary hepatic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is an extremely rare disease. To the best of our knowledge, only 67 cases had been reported in 39 English literatures to date. The aim of this study was to add a new case of this disease to the literature and to review the current literature. PATIENT CONCERNS A 50-year-old man was incidentally identified with a solitary mass of 5 cm in diameter in the left lobe of the liver. DIAGNOSES Based on the results of imaging studies, intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma was suspected, and then surgery was performed. Microscopic findings showed that the tumor was a hepatic MALT lymphoma, and immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the lymphoma cells were CD20+, CD79a+, BCL-2+, CD3-, and CD5-. INTERVENTIONS The patient received rituximab after surgery. OUTCOMES He was free of disease for 13 months at the time of this report. LESSONS Since previously published case reports and our case described nonspecific clinical features of this rare disease, it was usually misdiagnosed before histological confirmation and surgery resection may be a good choice for both diagnosis and local therapy.

Abstract
Extranodal mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (ENMALT) marginal zone lymphomas may arise at any site of the body. The most frequent localizations other than gastrointestinal and eye are salivary gland, skin, lung and thyroid. These lymphomas usually arise in a setting of inflammation due to a persistent infection or autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren syndrome in salivary MALT lymphomas and Hashimoto's thryroiditis in thyroid lymphomas. They affect middle-aged patients with a female predominance when lymphoma arises in certain locations. Patients often present with localised stage I or II although disseminated disease may be present at diagnosis or relapse in a third of the cases. Biopsy of the affected site is mandatory to establish the diagnosis and a full work-up staging is recommended. The clinical course is indolent and prognosis is good despite that recurrences following response to therapy are frequent. Surgery, radiotherapy and/or Rituximab based regimens are effective in these lymphomas.

Abstract
Abstract
Extranodal marginal zone (MZ) B-cell lymphomas of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) arise from lymphoid populations that are induced by chronic inflammation in extranodal sites. The best evidence of an etiopathogenetic link is provided by the association between Helicobacter pylori–positive gastritis and gastric MALT lymphoma. Indeed, successful eradication of this microorganism with antibiotics can be followed by gastric MALT lymphoma regression in most cases. Other microbial agents have been implicated in the pathogenesis of MZ lymphoma arising at different sites. Apart from gastric MALT lymphoma, antibiotic therapies have been adequately tested only in ocular adnexal MALT lymphomas where upfront doxycycline may be a reasonable and effective initial treatment of patients with Chlamydophila psittaci–positive lymphoma before considering more aggressive strategies. In all other instances, antibiotic treatment of nongastric lymphomas remains investigational. Indeed, there is no clear consensus for the treatment of patients with gastric MALT lymphoma requiring further treatment beyond H pylori eradication or with extensive disease. Both radiotherapy and systemic treatments with chemotherapy and anti-CD20 antibodies are efficacious and thus the experience of individual centers and each patient’s preferences in terms of adverse effects are important parameters in the decision process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical features and treatment in patients of marginal zone lymphoma (MZL)with monoclonal immunoglobulin (McIg). METHODS The clinical data of MZL patients with McIg, including 3 cases diagnosed and treated in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from Jan 2007 to Dec 2014 were retrospectively studied, meanwhile 36 patients searched from literatures were reviewed. RESULTS Of a total of 39 patients, the ratio of male and female was 1.05∶1 with an average age of 65.1± 12.3 years old. 28 cases (71.8%)were with mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas (MALTL), 9 cases (23.1% )with nodal marginal zone lymphoma, and 2 cases (5.1%)with splenic marginal zone lymphoma. Nine cases (23.1% )were in the early stage, 30 cases (76.9%)in the advanced stage. The common initial symptom was non-mass lesions (65.5%), such as skin purpura, peripheral neuropathy; 13 patients (33.3% )were accompanied by autoimmune phenomenon, and most were with Sjogren's syndrome. Among MALTL patients, the common primary lesion was in non- gastrointestinal tract (17 cases, 60.7%). Most of patients with McIg were one with McIgM (82.0%); the others with McIgA, Mcκ-light chain, McIgG and double McIg. The level of plasma McIgM was (25.55±21.31)g/L, which was higher in advanced stage patients than in early stage ones [(29.85±20.60)g/Lvs (3.23±2.95)g/L,P= 0.008]. The complete remission (CR)rate was 56.0% and the overall response rate (ORR)92.0%, respectively in 30 patients treated by chemotherapy. At a median follow- up of 10 months, the 3- year progression free survival and the 3-year overall survival were 44.7% and 76.5%, respectively. The rates of ORR and CR in the patients received rituximab- included regimen were seemly better than those without rituximab one (100.0%vs 78.6%, 63.6%vs 50.0%;P>0.05), but no statistic differences were found. The CR rate in patients with McIgM was significantly higher than that with non- McIgM (P=0.026). The plasma McIgM level decreased after chemotherapy (P=0.002). CONCLUSION The MZL with McIg, perhaps a kind of unique subtype, usually occurred in 60 years or older patients. It was often diagnosed in patients of advanced stage and susceptible to autoimmune phenomenon. MALTL in non- gastrointestinal tract was more prone to find McIg. In MZL patients with McIg, McIgM was more common and other McIg rare. Rituximab-included regimen produced a better therapeutic response.
