Authors analysed retrospectively ocurrence of malignant lymphomas in materials of the 2nd Stomatological Clinic in Bratislava during years 1985-2000 with special view on the diagnosis. They found 23 cases of malignant lymphomas (7 men, 16 women) together, from these Hodgkin's lymphogranuloma in 7 cases (3 men, 4 women) and non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma in 16 cases (4 men ,12 women). Rutinely were performed evaluations: ultrasound, native X-rays (in salivary gland sialography, too), laboratory investigations (heamatology, serology as in the node syndrome and the oncomarcers - carcinoembryonic antigena β-2 microglobulin). In larger tumours was performed cumputed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. By the histopathology was preferred perioperative cryocut against aspirationbiopsy but the results were exact in 3 cases only. Authors emphasise need of interdisciplinar approach in suspection of malignant lymphoma.
