Abstract:
Recurrent syncopal episodes associated with head and neck lymphoma are rarely reported. Through a typical case study, this article analyzes the clinical features of patients with neck lymphoma presenting with syncope as the initial symptom, aiming to improve understanding of this type of disease. By reviewing the clinical data of this patient with neck masses admitted for recurrent syncope in June 2023 and integrating findings with relevant literature, the clinical characteristics of this patient population is presented. The first symptoms of lymphoma presenting as syncope are relatively rare and often lead to misdiagnosis. Diagnosis is mainly based on pathological and immunohistochemical analysis.
