Abstract

Objectives:  To evaluate some clinical and subclinical features of primary extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (pENL) patients. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 47 patients with pENL in the Field Internal Medicine Center, Military Hospital 103. Results and conclusions: The average age was 60.51 ± 15.66 years, male/female ratio was 1.35/1. The disease onset is usually less than 3 months. Common symptoms: B symptoms: 40.4%, anemia: 53.2%. The most common damage site is in the digestive tract: 34.8%. Diffuse large B-cell histopathology predominates with 70.2%. Most patients are in the low-risk prognostic group with a rate of 59.6%. There is a correlation between the disease prognostic indicators and onset of the disease, histopathological type, hypoalbuminemia and serum β2M level >2,22 (µg/ml) (p< 0.05).
