Cutaneous lymphoblastic lymphoma with pre-B markers.

18F-FDG PET/CT Images in a Child with Cutaneous B cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Presented with Bone Involvement

Abstract B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) is an uncommon subtype of pediatric non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) which rarely involves the skin primarily. The positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine- 18] fluoro-D: -glucose integrated with computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan findings of a 8-year-old boy with cutaneous B-LBL were presented. PET/CT scan demonstrated mild FDG up...

Cutaneous precursor B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma in 2 adult patients: clinicopathologic and molecular cytogenetic studies with a review of the literature.

BACKGROUND Precursor B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) is an uncommon high-grade neoplasm of immature B cells. In contrast to the more common lymphoblastic lymphoma of T-cell lineage, B-LBL can be an extranodal disease, with a propensity to involve skin and bone. Most reported cases of B-LBL in the skin, a rarity in adults, are manifestations of existing systemic disease. OBSERVATIONS We ...

Cutaneous Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Presenting as a Solitary Traumatic Soft Tissue Facial Mass: A Case Report

This case report illustrates the presentation of a six-year-old female with a four month history of increasing redness and swelling of her forehead. At the time of presentation, the clinical history and physical examination did not suggest an oncologic diagnosis. However, due to the persistence and enlargement of the facial lesion, a biopsy was performed and revealed precursor B-cell lymphoblas...

Characterization of Immunophenotypic Aberrancies in Adult and Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: Lessons from Regional Variation

Background & Objective: Although the antigen expression patterns of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are well known, this study attempted to evaluate commonly used immune markers for immunophenotyping of acute leukemia to set the minimum of necessary diagnostic panels by flow cytometry. Methods: This study evaluated 89 patients referred from all over th...
