چکیده
Immunoblastic lymphadenopathy (lBL)-like T-cell lymphoma is a distinct peripheral T-cell lymphoma. which closely resembles angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia (AILD) and/or IBL. but is characterized by focal or sheet-like proliferation of immunoblasts and pale cells of T-cell nature. In this report. 36 patients with IBI-like T-cell lymphoma were analyzed. The disease is clinically characterized by generalized lymph node swelling. hepatosplenomegaly. fever. skin rash. polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. marked male predominance. predilection for the elderly. and poor prognosis. There was no association with human T-cell leukemia virus type I or human immunodeficiency virus. IBL-like T-cell lymphoma may be divided into two categories (CD4+ type and CD8+

Clinicopathologic and immunogenetic analysis of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas arising in conjunctiva.
PURPOSE To identify mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type lymphoma in conjunctival infiltrates. METHODS Clinical, histopathologic, immunophenotypic, and immunogenotypic studies were performed on 14 patients with conjunctival lymphoid infiltrates. Surgical biopsy specimens were subjected to histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and gene rearrangement analysis. RESULTS Thirteen of the...

متن کاملPeripheral T-cell lymphomas--clinicopathologic and immunophenotypic analysis of 25 cases.
The clinicopathologic and immunophenotypic findings of 25 cases of peripheral T-cell lymphoma in Korea were analysed. Seventeen cases (68%) of the 25 T-cell lymphomas presented in the extranodal sites including the nasal mucosa, tonsil, oral cavity, skin and rarely bone, mediastinum and breast. Immunologic studies showed that 12 cases (48%) of the lymphomas were of T-helper phenotype, 5 cases (...
متن کاملPlasma cell leukemia: Clinicopathologic, immunophenotypic and cytogenetic characteristics of 4 cases.
Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare hematologic malignancy with very poor outcome. It is defined by the presence of >2 × 10(9)/L plasma cells or >20% plasmacytosis of the differential white cell count in the peripheral blood. Primary PCL is first diagnosed in the leukemic phase, while secondary PCL corresponds to the leukemic transformation of a previously diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). The ...
متن کاملPerforin gene expression in granular lymphocyte proliferative disorders.
By Northern blot analysis using a cDNA clone of the perforin gene, we studied the levels of perforin mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 11 cases of granular lymphocyte-proliferative disorders (GLPDs). The granular lymphocytes studied were characterized by morphologic, immunophenotypic, and immunogenotypic analyses. Cytolytic functions of the lymphocytes assayed included nonmajor hi...
