DLBCL subtype: Extranodal lymphoma

Multifocal extranodal lymphoma

INTRODUCTION We report an unusual and interesting case of non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving 7 extranodal sites.In this case, a 43-year-old woman with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, including stomach, breasts, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovary and bones, was confirmed by biopsy and positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan. The patient achieved a complete response after 2 cycles of chemot...

Extranodal lymphoma: a reappraisal.

Approximately one-third of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) arise primarily from sites other than lymph nodes, spleen or the bone marrow and even from sites which normally contain no native lymphoid tissue [1, 2]. Indeed, extranodal lymphomas can arise in almost every organ [1, 2]. However most of the presentations appears to be clustered in a few sites: skin, stomach, brain, small intestine and—wh...

Extranodal involvement in lymphoma – A Pictorial Essay and Retrospective Analysis of 281 PET/CT studies

Objective(s): The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of PET-CT in identification of different patterns of extranodal involvement in Hodgkin’s disease (HD) and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) and to enlist the common sites of extranodal involvement in each histological type and compare our results with the existing literature. Methods: In this retrospective study of 281 cases of lymphomas of...

Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Presenting with Obstructive Jaundice from a Biliary Stricture: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histologic subtype of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), accounting for approximately twenty five percent of cases. Forty percent of patients with DLBCL present with the primary lesion in an extranodal site. The gastrointestinal tract is the most frequent site of extranodal lymphoma, with the stomach and intestines most often involved. Involve...
