Review Article : A review of recent publications on haematolymphoid neoplasms in the head and neck region

Head and neck haematolymphoid neoplasms are a heterogeneous group of malignancies that pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. They consist of a range of lymphomas, leukaemias, plasmacytomas, and histiocytic disorders that occur in such sites as the oral mucosa, oropharynx, cervical lymph nodes, and jawbones. This systematic review describes the epidemiology, clinical presentation, histopathology, diagnostic methods, and treatment of haematolymphoid neoplasms of this region. A systematic literature search of relevant databases was conducted to evaluate current knowledge and recent advances. The review highlights the current subtypes, the diagnostic utility of histopathology and molecular markers, and the evolving pattern of targeted and immunotherapeutic approaches.
