Abstract
Amyloidosis of the submandibular gland is a rare manifestation of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (eMZL). Here, we present a case-report of a 62-year-old female patient with a history of eMZL, limited stage IIEA. The patient was initially treated with radiotherapy; however large glands remained with lack of clinical response to the radiotherapy. Consequently, a surgical excision of the submandibular glands was performed, and histology revealed massive amyloid deposits in the gland tissue next to eMZL. This case report highlights the importance of considering amyloidosis as a possible cause of submandibular gland enlargement in patients with a history of lymphoma and emphasizes the need for a histological diagnosis to direct appropriate treatment.
期刊介绍：
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing case reports and case series only which must be original, educational, rare conditions or findings, or clinically interesting to an international audience of surgeons and clinicians. Case series can be prospective or retrospective and examine the outcomes of management or mechanisms in more than one patient. Case reports may include new or modified methodology and treatment, uncommon findings, and mechanisms. All case reports and case series will be peer reviewed for acceptance for publication in the Journal.
