Primary gastric anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative anaplastic large-cell lymphoma

INTRODUCTION Most primary stomach lymphomas are now recognized to originate from B-cell. Primary gastric anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) as shown in this case is very rare. CASE REPORT A 59-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of epigastric pain. Computed tomography showed a tumor in the stomach with perigastric lymphadenopathy. Biopsy ...

Blood cytokine concentrations in pediatric patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma

Patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma often present with B-symptoms or hemophagocytosis and generate an anti-tumor immune response. Specific serum cytokine levels or profiles may reflect the tumor burden, non-specific immune stimulation by the tumor or differences in the strength of the patients' anti-lymphoma immunity. We systematically correlated pre...

Primary cutaneous CD 30+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a broad diagnostic group encompassing a spectrum of diseases with variable clinical presentations. Histologic and immunohistochemical confirmation is needed to establish a precise diagnosis. Primary cutaneous CD 30+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a definite variety of CTCL, presenting as a non-healing ulcer is presented here which, needed multimodality appro...
