Abstract

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare NHL, representing only 2-3% of all lymphomas. Pulmonary involvement is rare (5-15%). A thirty one year old female was admitted to a center with purulent fistulized lesions on the neck and axilla and enlargement of the breasts. There was no improvement with antibiotics and she had a fever. Pyogenic granulation was detected in the soft tissue biopsy of the axillary and breast. All the cultures were negative. Antituberculosis therapy was given for three months. This patient was admitted to our clinic due to clinical progression. Bilaterally painful, purulent flowing lesions on the neck and axilla, tension and sensitive breasts and high fever were found. Anemia, thrombocytosis, neutrophilic leukocytosis, low iron level and iron binding capacity and high CRP levels were detected in the laboratory tests. Anaerobic, actinomycosis, mycobacteria, nocardia and tularemia cultures were negative. Thorax CT showed a mediastinal conglomerate LN, left upper apicoposterior cavitary lesion and millimetric nodules. Abdominal CT was normal. Neck CT showed masses which erased the fat plain and submandibular LN. LN biopsy diagnosed an inflammatory variant of CD30(+) ALCL. It was considered to be stage IV due to pulmonary parenchyma, mediastinum, neck, axilla and breast involvement. After five chemotherapy sessions, there was a significant improvement in the lesions.

Özet

Anaplastik büyük hücreli lenfoma (ABHL) lenfomaların %2-3'ünü oluşturan NHL alt grubudur. Akciğer tutulumu nadirdir (%5-15). Burada akciğer ve mediyasten tutulumunun eşlik ettiği evre IV nötrofilden zengin tipte ABHL olgusu sunulmuştur. Otuz bir yaşında kadın, boyun ve aksillalarda fistülize, pürülan akıntılı şişlikler, memelerde büyüme ve gerginlik şikayetleriyle bir merkeze başvurmuş. Antibiyoterapiyle lezyonlar gerilememiş, ateş ortaya çıkmış. Aksiller bölge ve memeden alınan yumuşak doku biyopsilerinde; piyojenik granülasyon dokusu saptanmış. Spesifik ve nonspesifik kültürlerde üreme olmamış. Klinik-radyolojik tüberküloz düşünülerek üç ay antitüberküloz tedavi verilmiş. Lezyonlarda progresyon olması üzerine servisimize yatırıldığında; boyun ve aksillalarda ağrılı akıntılı lezyonlar, memelerde gerginlik ve hassasiyet, yüksek ateş mevcuttu. Laboratuvarda; anemi, trombositoz, nötrofilik lökositoz, düşük demir düzeyi ve demir bağlama kapasitesi, yüksek CRP saptandı. Periferik yaymada atipik hücre izlenmedi. Lezyonlardan alınan anaerob, aktinomiçes, mikobakteri, nokardia, tularemi ve nonspesifik kültürlerde üreme olmadı. Ampirik ampicilin-sulbaktam başlandı. Toraks BT'de mediastende konglomere LN'ları ve sol üst lob apikoposteriorda 2cm kalın duvarlı kavite, milimetrik nodüller izlendi. Batın BT normaldi. Boyun BT'de; yağlı planı silen kitle lezyonlar, submandibular LN'ları saptandı. Boyun ve aksiller lezyonların biyopsisi ile CD30 (+) ABHL'nın nötrofilden zengin varyantı tanısı kondu. Pulmoner parankim, mediyasten, boyun, aksiller bölge ve meme tutulumu nedeniyle evre IV ABHL tanısı kondu. Beş kür kemoterapi sonrasında lezyonlarda belirgin gerileme sağlandı.
