Pyothorax-associated lymphoma.
In Japan, EBV positive rate in immunocompetent patients with nodal lymphomas is less than 10% in B-cell and 20-50% in T cell lymphoma. Among extranodal lymphomas, EBV positive rate is higher in pyothorax-associated lymphoma (PAL), nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma, and adrenal lymphoma. PAL is non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that develops from chronic pyothorax resulted from artificial pneumothorax for the treat...
متن کامل[Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the pleural cavity developing from long-standing pyothorax].
Our previous study suggested a close relationship between a preceding chronic tuberculous pyothorax and the development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in the pleural cavity. To confirm this further, 37 cases were collected, their clinical and pathological findings summarized. The age at first admission for lymphoma of patients ranged from 46 to 81 (mean 63) years, the male to female ratio bein...
متن کاملExpression profile of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) in pyothorax associated lymphoma and in effusion lymphoma.
AIMS Pyothorax associated lymphoma (PAL) occurs in a clinical setting of longstanding pyothorax or chronic inflammation of the pleura. Like primary effusion lymphoma, it has an association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and is confined to the pleural cavity, but has differing morphological and phenotypic features. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been consistently reported in primary effusion ly...
متن کاملPyothorax-associated lymphoma (PAL): report and review of a rare entity
Pyothorax-associated lymphoma (PAL) is a rare haematological malignancy often associated with artificial pneumothorax due to the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. A 76 year old man with chronic tube-drained pyothorax and a history of artificial pneumothorax for pulmonary tuberculosis was admitted to our hospital because of progressive right thoracic pain, weight loss, and pyrexia. After clin...
متن کاملPrimary malignant lymphoma arising in the pleura without preceding long-standing pyothorax.
We report a very rare case of primary malignant lymphoma arising in the pleura with no history of persistent pyothorax. A 72-year-old male was hospitalized with dyspnea on effort and chest CT demonstrated a mass along the right chest wall. Right thoracotomy with complete en bloc resection of the pleural tumor was performed. Immunohistochemical examination of the pleural tumor showed that the hi...
