Abstract

Introduction: lymphomas represent the third neoplasm in order of frequency in pediatric ages. Many cases are diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease in spite of the efforts the health system makes. However, in this province no studies contextualizing the local reality of this disease have been conducted.

 

Objective: to characterize some clinical-epidemiological variables in lymphomas. 

 

Method: a non-experimental study was carried out following a quantitative methodology. On the design of this research the scientific variables used were controlled by the researcher to be analyzed as an observational, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study conducted in the service of onco-hematology at Pepe Portilla Provincial Pediatric Teaching Hospital from January 2010 to January 2016.

 

Results: a similar behavior regarding the number of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas diagnosed per years was observed; during 2015 no diagnoses were conducted. A similar behavior was found in both genders regarding the diagnoses performed. Ages from 7 to 12 and 13 to 18 prevailed for female gender, along with 1 to 6 and 13 to 18 for males.  Burkitt's lymphomas was the most prevailing histology, anaplasia type was not diagnosed. The most frequent localization was in the abdomen. More of the half of cases was diagnosed in stages III-IV of the disease; despite of this, the greatest number of sufferers received a complete response concerning the treatment.
