Case report reveals acute radiotherapy improved dysphagia in a patient with refractory B-cell lymphoma, indicating potential for urgent care strategies.
Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in adults. It appears in an aggressive form, and it is characterized by a rapid growth of B lymphocytes and their accumulation in the lymphonodes or other organs (liver, spleen, etc.). Due to its aggressive nature, the prognosis may be poor, particularly in patients who have already been heavily pretreated or in those with refractory and relapsed disease. We present the case of a patient with non-Hodgkin large B cell lymphoma of the right palatine tonsil, which came to our observation in urgency for severe refractory dysphagia due to Chemotherapy.
