De novo CD5-positive Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Primarily Presenting as Spinal Cord Compression: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
De novo CD5-positive (CD5+) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly aggressive subtype of DLBCL with a high incidence of misdiagnosis when spinal cord compression is the initial symptom. We report a case of a 45-year old man with de novo CD5+ DLBCL primarily presenting as spinal cord compression. Unfortunately, this patient was resistant to rituximab-based therapy, which indicated a poor prognosis.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNA, which can regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. MiRNA profiling has shown a great potential as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. The present study was performed at the Nemazee Teaching Hospital (Shiraz, Iran) from 2011 to 2013.The aim of thi...

The authors describe a case of histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma (HR-BCL), a variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, in a 51-year-old man. The patient presented with large axillary lymphadenopathy. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical examination of lymph node biopsy revealed diffuse effacement of the lymph node architecture by reactive histiocytes and neoplastic CD20 positive B cells. ...

UNLABELLED Primary bone lymphoma is a rare disease, and the main pathological type is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The occurrence of follicular, marginal zone and lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas is rare. Vertebras are also sites that can be affected, and spinal cord compression is reported in 14% of patients with vertebral involvement. However, there is no report on primary vertebral lymphoplasma...

We report a case of de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in leukemic phase, positive for both CD5 and CD13. Morphologic evaluation, flow cytometric immunophenotyping, karyotyping and polymerase chain reaction studies were performed. Neoplastic lymphocytes appeared as blast-like cells, positive for CD19, CD20, CD5, CD13, CD79a, HLADR, and with restriction for surface immunoglobulin K li...

UNLABELLED D cyclins positively regulate the cell cycle and mediate the pathogenesis of some lymphomas. Cyclin D1 overexpression is the hallmark of mantle cell lymphoma, whereas cyclins D2 and D3 are reportedly not as specific to certain lymphomas as cyclin D1. In this study, cyclin D2 was found to be overexpressed in 98% of de novo CD5-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) (50/51) a...
