[Primary extranodal non-Hodgkin's malignant orbital lymphomas treated surgically in ENT Department of Medical Academy of Silesia in Katowice in the years 1996-2001].
The authors presented 7 cases of primary extranodal non-l-odgkin's malignant orbital lymphomas in patients treated surgically in the ENT Department of the Medical University of Silesia in the years 1996-2001. In the course of the diagnostic process we examined the patients carefully to be sure that the cancer had not disseminated. We used some imaging techniques such as: ultrasonography (USG), computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We also used the needle aspiration biopsy, as an additional examination. However the material was no significant in the most cases and we were unable to make a definitive diagnosis on the basis of this method alone. After prior examinations we performed the radical operations and removed the tumors. In each case the postoperative material was examined using histopatological and immunohistochemical methods. Afterwards the pathomorphological diagnosis was made by the specialists. Next the patients were observed and treated in the Haematological and Radiotherapy Departments.
