Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCL) comprise a group of extranodal non-Hodgkin that are primarily confined to the skin. marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) and follicle center (FCL) associated with rather indolent tumor behavior, while diffuse large lymphoma, leg type (DLBCL-LT) shows an aggressive clinical course. Besides distinct immune-histological features, underlying molecular biology is st...

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma is an extremely rare extranodal lymphoma that proliferates in the lumen of the blood vessels while sparing the organ parenchyma. It usually presents with CNS and skin involvement. A 65-year-old Caucasian female presented with fevers and chills of 3-4 months' duration. Bone marrow biopsy done 3 months prior showed no significant myelodysplasia or lymphoid aggr...

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a frequent subtype of peripheral T – cell lymphoma (PTCL) characterized by generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and frequent B symptoms. Extranodal manifestations are quite common in this subtype of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma which is characterized by frequent skin involvement. However, the extranodal disease should be evaluated thoroughly and...

OBJECTIVES Gastrointestinal lymphoma is the most common type of extranodal non-Hogkin's lymphoma. The proportion and different types of primary extranodal gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are different in various geographic locations. Therefore, in this study we tried to evaluate the various types of extranodal gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in affiliated hospitals of the Shiraz...

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVL) is a rare subtype of B-cell lymphoma presenting with neurological and dermatological lesions in addition to generalized symptoms such as fever and malaise. It may also be associated with variable manifestations of affected organs due to extranodal progression predominantly in the lumen of the small vessels. Here, we report a case of IVL with the syndrom...

Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type (extranodal MZL) is a distinct subgroup of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Pulmonary extranodal MZL is a rare entity and accounts for less than 0.5% of primary pulmonary malignancies. Only a few cases of simultaneous occurrence of lung cancer and pulmonary extranodal MZL have been reported. A 60-year-old woman was referr...

Approximately a third of the patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma present with extranodal involvement. Our study aims to identify primary extranodal sites of disease associated with prognosis in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the rituximab era. A secondary objective is to describe epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with extranodal DLBCL. We i...

Primary bone lymphomas (PBLs) are composed of malignant lymphoid cells presenting in osseous sites, without supra-regional lymph node or extranodal involvement. We systematically characterized the immunophenotype and the myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MYD88)-L265P gene mutation status in PBL. Clinical data from 19 patients with PBL treated at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between 2009 and 201...
