We established the correct diagnosis of Waldeyer ring lymphoma by histology. This case led us to conduct a study of all cases of Waldeyer ring lymphoma that had been treated at our center during a 10-year period. We retrospectively examined our case records and found 35 such cases. From this group, we excluded 5 cases because of incomplete data. Thus our final study group was made up of 30 patients\u201414 males and 16 females, aged 14 to 76 years (mean: 51.6; median 54). The primary presenting signs and symptoms were dysphagia (n =17 [57%]), a neck mass (n = 7 [23%]), nasal symptoms (n = 5 [17%]), and pain (n = 1 [3%]). Only 4 patients (13%) had B symptoms. A total of 20 patients (67%) presented with tonsillar involvement, 8 (27%) with nasopharyngeal involvement, 1 (3%) with tongue base lymphoma, and 1 with anterior tongue involvement. Most patients (77%) presented at an early stage. Histologically, 25 patients (83%) had high-grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 4 (13%) had T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, and 1 (3%) had follicular lymphoma. Twenty-one patients (70%) were treated with chemotherapy, 4 (13%) received adjuvant chemotherapy with either radiotherapy or surgery, 3 (10%) resorted to other forms of treatment (primarily traditional remedies), and 2 (7%) declined treatment altogether. There were 14 patients (47%) alive at the end of the study period.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/014556131409300905","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,9]],"date-time":"2019-01-09T15:09:40Z","timestamp":1547046580000},"page":"E22-E25","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Waldeyer Ring Lymphoma: A Case Series"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Carren S.L.","family":"Teh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Sungai Buloh Hospital, Selangor, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pailoor","family":"Jayalakshmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheldon Y.C.","family":"Chong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Modbury Hospital, Adelaide, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anndiagpath.2005.09.020"},{"key":"bibr2-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2004.08.009"},{"key":"bibr3-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.coc.0000027588.56104.15"},{"key":"bibr4-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12185-013-1282-3"},{"key":"bibr5-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clon.2003.10.010"},{"key":"bibr6-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clon.2012.02.010"},{"key":"bibr7-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2010.03.029"},{"key":"bibr8-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2008.05.011"},{"key":"bibr9-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tripleo.2004.03.028"},{"key":"bibr10-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tripleo.2008.08.054"},{"key":"bibr11-014556131409300905","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.kjms.2012.02.014"},{"issue":"5","key":"bibr12-014556131409300905","first-page":"1921","volume":"96","author":"Adida C","year":"2000","journal-title":"Blood"}],"container-title":["Ear, Nose &amp; Throat Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/014556131409300905","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/014556131409300905","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T18:35:05Z","timestamp":1777401305000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/014556131409300905"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,9]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/014556131409300905"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/014556131409300905","relation":{},"ISSN":["0145-5613","1942-7522"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0145-5613","type":"print"},{"value":"1942-7522","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,9]]}}}
