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...

An accurate method of classification of the surface membrane characteristics of blast cells from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia would allow a more definitive study of the nature of this disease. Monoclonal antibodies have been produced to the surface antigens of leukemic blasts form a patient with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Two antibodies of interest were obtained from ...

Behcet’s disease is an inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, uveitis, and skin lesions. A few cases of hematologic disease in patients with Behcet’s disease have been reported in the literature. However, acute precursor T cell lymphoblastic leukemia has never been described in association with Behcet’s disease. We recently encountered a case of a...

Ингибиторы тирозинкиназ: профилактика рецидива после аллогенной трансплантации гемопоэтических стволовых клеток у взрослых пациентов с Ph-позитивным острым лимфобластным лейкозомTyrosine kinase inhibitors: relapse prophylaxis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia

ABSTRACT Secondary acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (sALL), defined as acute lymphoblastic leukaemia following another malignancy, irrespective of previous treatment, is a rare disease, and its biological characteristics have not been accurately described. We report the case of a 24-year old patient followed for Hodgkin's lymphoma at our clinic, who develops and is diagnosed, less than a year afte...

Acute myelofibrosis is characterized by pancytopenia of sudden onset, megakaryocytic hyperplasia, extensive bone marrow fibrosis, and the absence of organomegaly. Acute myelofibrosis in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is extremely rare. We report a 4-year-old boy who was diagnosed as having acute massive myelofibrosis and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Performing bone marrow aspiratio...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, gingival enlargement. Abstract Most of the systemic diseases manifest signs and symptoms in oral cavity. Periodontal lesions are common in patients with acute leukemia throughout the course of the disease. Although many cases of gingival enlargement in patients with acute myeloid leukemia have been reported in literature, cases of gingival h...

An accurate method of classification of the surface mem brane characteristics of blast cells from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia would allow a more definitive study of the nature of this disease. Monoclonal antibodies have been produced to the surface antigens of leukemic blasts from a patient with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Two anti bodies of interest were obtained fro...

Precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia is primarily a disease of children with most cases occurring before the age of six. Approximately 3000 new cases of lymphoblastic leukemia were reported in the United States in 2000. The presence of isochromosomes is a relatively unusual finding. In the few published studies available, isochromosomes occur in between 1-4% of call cases of lymphoblastic le...

abstract background: high temperatures have destructive effects on cancer cells by damaging proteins and structures within cells. gold nanoparticles (aunps) can act as drug delivery vehicles, especially for cancer therapy. due to the selective intake of asparagine molecules into malignant cells, aunps were coated with asparagine; and ccrf-cem human t-cell leukemia cells were treated with the ne...
