Bone metastasis of malignant thymomas associated with peripheral T-cell lymphocytosis
BACKGROUND Malignant thymomas are rarely associated with bone metastasis and T-cell lymphocytosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 47-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital for ptosis. A diagnosis of malignant thymoma was made based on the thymectomy and pathological result. Peripheral T-cell lymphocytosis and bone metastasis were found later. T-cell lymphocytosis was relived after surgical...
متن کاملParaneoplastic T cell lymphocytosis associated with a thymoma in a dog.
A four-year-old male neutered Australian shepherd dog was diagnosed with a thymoma and concurrent mature T cell lymphocytosis. The lymphocytosis consisted of a mixed population of T cells expressing either CD4 or CD8 or neither marker, and the result of polymerase chain reaction for antigen receptor rearrangement was negative. The peripheral lymphocytosis resolved within 24 hours following thor...

Objective: There have been con ̄icts concerning the criteria for diagnosing malignant epithelial neoplasms of thymic origin. To differentiate thymic carcinomas from thymomas, the maturation stage of T-lineage lymphoid cells in®ltrating thymomas and thymic carcinomas was examined by ̄ow cytometry to associate it with the degree of tumor malignancy. Methods: Multidimensional ̄ow cytometric analysi...
متن کاملPure red cell aplasia associated with malignant thymoma, myasthenia gravis, polyclonal large granular lymphocytosis and clonal thymic T cell expansion.
A case with the triad of pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), myasthenia gravis, and malignant thymoma is reported. There was a clonal proliferation of T cells within the thymoma, as demonstrated by a T cell antigen receptor (TCR) delta chain gene rearrangement. However, despite a large granular lymphocytosis, clonality could not be shown in the peripheral blood either before or after thymectomy. Ther...

Background: CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes have been recently divided based on their cytokine expression profile. Objective: To evaluate the percentages of CD8+ lymphocytes and their effector subsets including Tc1, Tc2 and Tc17 in the tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) of patients with breast cancer. Methods: Single cell suspensions were obtained from TDLNs of 42 patients with breast cancer. Stai...
