Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are the most common hematological malignancies of the head and neck, comprising 5% of head and neck cancers (Evans 1981). NHL often differs considerably from HD in presentation, behavior, treatment, and response. HD is characterized by contiguous disease sites with predictable responses to therapy, while NHL is a heterogeneous group of less predictable malignancies. The classification of NHL has evolved continually over the last 30 to 40 years. New techniques such as immunophenotyping, flow cytometry, and molecular genetic studies have revolutionized our understanding of NHL. Unique subclassifi cations have been identified that help predict the wide variations of behavior and response within what was previously classified as a single entity.
