Aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma is associated with poor long-term survival after relapse or resistance to chemotherapy. We report a case of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma refractory to first-line R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophospha

non-hodgkin's lymphoma is the 3rd most common cancers in children. in the present study, to determine pathological and clinical features of this cancer, we reviewed records of 84 cases of non-hodgkin's lymphoma who were admitted to ali asghar and bahrami children hospitals from 1989 to 1996. 59% of cases had small non-cleaved cell (sncc) subtype of disease. 15% were lymphoblastic and ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Assess the demographic, clinical, and pathologic features of patients with parotid gland lymphoma and their prognostic importance using US population-based data. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Patients were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program database between the years of 1973 and 2008, and individual characteristics ...

Histologic transformation (HT) refers to a biologic event leading to the development of a high-grade, aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma in patientswith anunderlying follicular lymphoma (FL). Transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or Burkitt lymphoma is also known to take place in other subtypes of indolent lymphoma such as marginal zone lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, small...

There are few known modifiable risk factors for Hodgkin lymphoma, but the recent finding of an inverse association between routine regular-strength aspirin use and Hodgkin lymphoma risk suggests that aspirin may protect against Hodgkin lymphoma development. To further investigate this association using prospectively collected data, we conducted a population-based case-control study in northern ...

Primary adrenal gland lymphoma is an uncommon diagnosis. Even among the small group of reported cases, most cases are diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Primary Hodgkin lymphoma of the adrenal gland has only been described once previously in the English literature. We describe the second case of primary adrenal gland Hodgkin lymphoma and review pertinent literature.

We describe the case of a 13-year-old boy who presented with persistent thrombocytopenia during maintenance chemotherapy with mercaptopurine and methotrexate for T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. He was diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) after thorough investigations for the relapse of lymphoma and was successfully treated with immunoglobulin and steroids. ITP is known to be associated w...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the role of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) involving care-dose unenhanced CT to detect extranodal involvement in patients with non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin lymphoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lymphoma patients (35 Hodgkin lymphoma, 75 non-Hodgkin lymphoma) who were referred for 18F-FDG PET-CT imaging, follow...
