Abstract
Introduction: Platelet indices such as the mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) have been reported to have a diagnostic value in some cancer types and inflammatory diseases. In this study, the platelet indices and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were investigated in children with reactive lymph node hyperplasia and lymphoma. Methods: In total, 102 children were enrolled in this study. Overall, 30 healthy children and 72 children, who had undergone excisional lymph node biopsy between October 2011 and 2016, were enrolled this study. File records were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Histopathologically, 50 (69.4%) of the 72 patients were diagnosed with reactive lymph node hyperplasia, and 22 (30.5%) were diagnosed with lymphoma. Of the cases diagnosed with lymphoma, 15 (68%) were those of Hodgkin’s lymphoma and 7 (32%) were those of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. There was no difference between the patients diagnosed with reactive lymph node hyperplasia and those with lymphoma in terms of leukocyte counts, MPV and PDW values, and serum LDH levels (p>0.05, for all). The serum LDH levels of both groups were statistically significantly higher than those of the control group (p
Özet
Amaç: Ortalama platelet hacmi (MPV) ve platelet dağılım genişliği(PDW) gibi platelet indekslerinin bazı kanser türlerinde ve inflamatuarhastalıklarda tanısal önemi olduğu bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada,reaktif lenf nodu hiperplazili ve lenfomalı çocuklarda platelet indekslerive serum laktat dehidrogenaz (LDH) düzeyleri araştırılmıştır.Yöntemler: Toplam 102 çocuk çalışmaya alındı. Ekim 2011 ile 2016yılları arasında lenf nodu eksizyonu yapılan 72 çocuk hasta grubunu,30 sağlıklı çocuk kontrol grubunu oluşturdu. Dosya bilgileri geriye dönükolarak incelendi.Bulgular: Histopatolojik olarak 72 hastadan 50 (%69,4)’sine reaktiflenf nodu hiperplazisi, 22 (%30,5)’sine lenfoma tanısı konulmuştu.Lenfoma tanısı konulan hastaların 15(%68)’i Hodgkin lenfoma, 7(%32)’si Non-Hodgkin lenfoma idi. Reaktif lenf nodu hiperplazisi tanısıkonulan hastalar ile lenfoma tanısı konulan hastalar arasındalökosit sayısı, MPV, PDW değerleri ve serum LDH düzeyleri açısındanfarklılık yoktu (p>0,05, hepsi için). İki grubun serum LDH düzeylerikontrol grubundan istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı şekilde yüksek bulundu(p
