PEL has a unique clinical presentation in having a predilection for arising in body cavities such as the pleural space, pericardium, and peritoneum. PEL cells are morphologically variable with a null lymphocyte immunophenotype and evidence of human ...

متن کاملMALT1 protease activity in primary effusion lymphoma
The activation, proliferation and survival of lymphocytes depend on the antigen receptor-induced formation of cytoplasmic signaling complexes that control specific transcriptional pathways. The protease MALT1 has an essential role in lymphocyte activation and lymphoma development [1, 2]. Upon antigen receptor triggering, MALT1 is recruited to the so-called CBM complex, formed by the assembly of...
متن کاملPericardiocentesis versus pericardiotomy for malignant pericardial effusion: a retrospective comparison.
BACKGROUND Treatment of malignant pericardial effusion remains controversial, because no randomized controlled trials have been conducted to determine the best approach, and results of retrospective studies have been inconsistent. The objective of the present study was to compare pericardiocentesis and pericardiotomy with respect to efficacy for preventing recurrence, and to determine, for thos...
