Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS) is an extremely rare neoplastic proliferation of dendritic cells [1]. EBV and HSV8 viral infections are thought to be involved in its pathogenesis, but understanding their role requires further studies [2]. IDCS usually affects adults with a median age at diagnosis of 51 years. Clinical manifestation usually includes lymphadenopathy, but extranodal ...

Hodgkin Lenfoma, tüm lenfomaların %10’unu, erişkin kanserlerin %0.6’sını oluşturan ve çok yüksek kür oranları ile seyreden bir hastalıktır. Çalışmamız, erken evre Lenfoma vakalarımızdaki tedavi yanıtlarının değerlendirilmesi sağkalım üzerine etkili olabilecek faktörlerin belirlenmesi için planlandı. Erken (evre I-II) tanılı 51 hasta, retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the standard prognostic factors of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) in relation to response to first line chemotherapy, disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). PATIENTS AND METHODS The study was performed on a group of 100 adult patients diagnosed as HL and who were treated and followed-up in the years 1999 to 2001, in the Medical Oncology ...

We report a case of Hodgkin lymphoma (classic type) referred for response assessment after two cycles of chemotherapy with ABVD regiment. The F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) showed hypermetabolic cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions with a linear pattern in the left arm with significant F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron accumulation in associate with left axi...

Combination chemotherapy with ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine is considered the gold standard for Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL), but a small fraction of patients fail to achieve long-term disease control for either resistant or relapsing disease. The most promising intensive regimen BEACOPP (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and...

The risk of acute leukemia in patients treated for Hodgkin’s disease is significantly higher after combined modality programs than after chemotherapy alone and is correlated with the extent of radiotherapy and type and duration of chemotherapy: a case-control study ERCOLE BRUSAMOLINO,* ANNA PAOLA ANSELMO,° CATHERINE KLERSY,# MARIAQUILA SANTORO,@ ESTER ORLANDI,* GUIDO PAGNUCCO,* FRANCESCA LUNGHI...

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a curable malignancy which shows a bimodal curve in incidence in economically developed countries; there is a putative association with Epstein-Barr virus. The WHO 2008 classification schema recognises two histological types of HL: the nodular lymphocyte predominant and the "classic" HL. The latter encompasses four entities: nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, lymphoc...
