Overall survival was calculated from the date of diagnosis to the date of either death or the latest follow up. Google Scholar. A clinical note. The most common histologic subtype was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which occurred in five cases. Three patients (cases 1, 2, 7) received R-CHOP, 3 (cases 46) patients received CHOP, and 1 patient (case 3) received GDP and CHOP therapy. This may have been due to the expression of the cytotoxic marker TIA, Granzyme B, and a much higher Ki-67 index (80%), which may indicate a poor prognosis [41]. Lymphoid hyperplasia of the tongue is a very rare benign lymphoproliferative lesion that closely resembles carcinoma or lymphoma, clinically or histopathologically. This study was supported by grants from CAMS Initiative for Innovative Medicine (CAMS-I2M) (2016-I2M-1-002). Tongue musculature involvement can cause restricted movement, dysarthria, and dysphagia. The most common symptoms are varying degrees of discomfort in the pharynx, such as the sensation of a foreign body or choking while drinking. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using a Ventana Benchmark XT Autostainer (Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., Tucson, AZ). Although nearly 10% of DLBCL cases are reported to be EBV positive and are mainly seen in elderly people [28], EBV was not detected in any of our DLBCL cases. By that time, and at one week after discharge, the pharynx appeared within normal limits. 2. Except in one case of four, all of our patients were alive through follow-up.
