目的:回顾性总结及分析肾上腺淋巴瘤患者的临床特点及预后。方法:收集本中心2002-01-2013-12收治的肾上腺淋巴瘤患者共18例,其中包括原发性肾上腺淋巴瘤(PAL)10例,继发性肾上腺淋巴瘤(SAL)8例。随访终点时间为2014年3月30日。生存分析采用Kaplan-Meier方法,Log-rank方法进行组间比较。结果:在病理亚型上,无论是PAL还是SAL,均以弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤最多见,其次为外周T细胞淋巴瘤非特指型。在临床表现上,2组患者最常见的症状类似,均为B症状、乏力、腰背部局部不适感、纳差等。SAL患者肝脾肿大和Ann Arbor分期Ⅲ/Ⅳ期较多见(P=0.019和P=0.036)。无论是PAL还是SAL,患者的总生存时间差异无统计学意义。IPI评分≥3分或T细胞来源的淋巴瘤,患者生存时间显著缩短(P=0.049 5,P=0.003 4)。结论:肾上腺淋巴瘤缺乏特异的临床表现,以弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤最多见。IPI≥3分或T细胞来源,患者的生存时间显著缩短。由于本研究的病例数较少,仍需要大规模的前瞻性研究来验证。
Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and survival of patients with adrenal lymphoma. Method:Clinical datas of 18 adrenal lymphoma patients treated in our hospital from January 2002 to December 2013 were collected and analyzed. Among them,10 cases were primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) and 8 cases were sec- ondary adrenal lymphoma (SAL). The date of last follow-up was March 30,2014. Survival functions were esti- mated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the Log-rank test. Result:Both in PAL and SAL,the main subtype of the adrenal lymphoma was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,followed by peripheral T cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified. The major symptoms,in both PAL and SAL, were B symptom, fatigue, regional pain,and ano- rexia. Hepatosplenomegaly and advanced stage were more frequent in SAL than in PAL (P= 0. 019 and P= 0. 036, respectively). Considering the patients overall survival (OS), there was no statistical difference between PAL and SAL. But patients with IPI score≥3 or T-cell derived lymphoma had shorter OS (P=0. 049 5 and P=0. 003 4 ,respectively). Conclusion:The most common subtype of adrenal lymphoma is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and pa- tients lack specific symptoms. Patients with IPI score≥3 or T-cell derived lymphoma have poor outcome. Because of the limited number of patients, the prospective multi-center clinical analysis is warranted.
