Mantle cell lymphoma in leukaemic phase

Leukaemic phase of mantle zone (intermediate) lymphoma: its characterisation in 11 cases.

Sixteen patients presented with B cell leukaemia (white cell count 26-269 x 10(9)/l) which could not be classified as chronic lymphocytic (CLL), prolymphocytic leukaemia, or follicular lymphoma in leukaemic phase. Eleven patients (10 men, one woman) corresponded histologically to intermediate (INT) or mantle zone lymphoma, and five, with less well defined features, were designated small lymphoc...

The leukaemic phase of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

p53 and mdm2 in mantle cell lymphoma in leukemic phase.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), abnormalities additional to t(11;14) including those affecting genes involved in the p53 pathway, are important for disease development and progression. This study aimed to assess the frequency, relationship and impact of p53 abnormalities and those of its inhibitor mdm2 in blastoid and non-blastoid MCL in leukemic phase. DESIGN AND MET...

Mantle Cell Lymphoma with Multiple Lymphomatous Polyposis Presenting With Intussusceptions

Mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive type of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that originates from small to medium sized lymphocytes located in the mantle zone of the lymph node. The gastrointestinal tract is the predominant site of extranodal involvement in the form of multiple lymphomatous polyposis. Multiple lymphomatous polyposis due to mantle cell lymphoma presenting with intussusception is ...

Mantle Cell Lymphoma

American Society of Hematology in the first 2 years has also been reduced by 50% in the rituximab-containing treatment arm. These preliminary findings in a pilot study echo the results of previously published studies in advanced disease and provide a lead for future comparative trials. Although the majority of patients with limited disease can be cured using a brief course of doxorubicincontain...
