Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) often show up in an extranodal pattern, especially in the head and neck. Intraoral locations are much less frequent, particularly when they are single. This, in turn, can lead to a prolonged diagnosis and even to inadequate treatment. Different patients with initial extranodal location of NHL which were not previously diagnosed and in which it was manifested only intraorally are presented in this paper. These cases are presented together with the additional examinations used for the early diagnosis and with the corresponding clinical pictures, as well as with the overview of other cases from the available literature.

Background/aim: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma worldwide. Patients can have a wide range of clinical features and behavior which does not necessarily correlate to histologic grade or Ki-67 proliferation index. We hypothesized that patients with low grade but high proliferative index (LG/HP) FL have a more aggressive disease course.

T-cell lymphomas represent non-Hodgkin lymphomas distinguished by the uncontrolled proliferation of malignant T lymphocytes. Classifying these neoplasms and the ongoing investigation of their underlying biological mechanisms remains challenging. Significant subtypes encompass peripheral T-cell lymphomas, anaplastic large-cell lymphomas, cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.

Background: CAR-T cell (chimeric antigen receptor T) therapy is now part of standard of care treatment of B‑cell lineage malignancies. Although it is an effective treatment, it comes along with adverse side effects and toxicities that may require intensive care therapy. The costs related to critical care therapy in critically ill patients after CAR‑T administration have not been evaluated.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) may undergo histological transformation (HT) into a more aggressive lymphoma. Although rituximab for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHL) has greatly improved the overall survival (OS) of patients with transformed FL (tFL), relapse after anthracycline-based chemoimmunotherapy has a poor prognosis. CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor-modified T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is a promising treatment for relapsed or refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), including tFL.

Primary gastric T-cell lymphomas (PGTL) are exceedingly rare with an estimated incidence of 0.0091 per 100,000 person-years, affecting mainly elderly males. PGTL can present with a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, but patients only rarely present with perforation.
