Fiberoptic bronchoscopy in patient with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas

Viral-related RNA in Hodgkins' disease and other human lymphomas.

Molecular hybridization with radioactively labeled DNA complementary to the RNA of the Rauscher leukemia virus was used to probe for homologous RNA in human lymphomas. 22 of 32 specimens contained RNA possessing homology to the RNA of the mouse leukemia virus, but not to that of the unrelated viruses causing mammary tumors in mice or myeloblastosis in chickens. Normal adult and fetal tissues fa...

Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma presenting as Garcin’s Syndrome

An 80 year old man presented with a twelve month history of progressive multiple unilateral cranial nerve palsies. A gadolinium enhanced MRI scan of his head and neck was performed. This showed an extra-axial enhancing lesion, which enveloped the hemi-mandible at the level of the left inferior alveolar nerve, and a dumbbell shaped lesion within the cerebellopontine angle. An incisional biopsy w...

Hodgkins lymphoma with HIV infection.

The association between Hodgkins Lymphoma (HL) with HIV is common in adults but rare in children. A 5 year old boy, known case of HIV on antiretroviral therapy, presented with prolonged fever, multiple enlarged lymph nodes along with hepatosplenomegaly. A diagnosis of Hodgkins lymphoma was entertained on histopathological examination; further subtyping was done by immunohistochemistry.

Motor neuron disease and its association with non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

M otor neuron disease (MND) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by muscle atrophy, brisk reflexes, spasticity, fasciculation, and atrophy. The onset of the disease is generally insidious. The pathological process may involve the motor cortex, the spinal cord, and the brainstem. 1 Only upper or only lower motor neurons may be affected. The disease may or may not be seen with neoplasms,...
