A rare case of bilateral primary malignant lymphoma of breast in a 76 year old woman is presented. The lesion was examined by electron microscopy and immunochemistry. The diagnosis of primary malignant lymphoma remains a diagnosis by exclusion and requires extensive work-up to exclude widespread malignant process. The behaviour of this malignancy tends to be an aggressive one and the prognosis ...

A patient with S#{233}zary syndrome presented with disease limited to the skin and circulating abnormal lymphocytes but subsequently developed a diffuse undifferentiated lymphoma. Malignant cells from a lymph node effaced with the morphologically undifferentiated lymphoma were characterized as being of thymus-derived (T cell) origin. We have previously shown that circulating malignant lymphocyt...

BACKGROUND Immune suppressant medications such as thiopurines and anti-tumor necrosis factor agents are important for maintaining disease control in most patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs); however, their use has been associated with the development of malignant lymphoma. The purpose of this Dutch nationwide study was to estimate the relative risk of malignant lymphoma in IBD pati...

Thyroid lymphoproliferative disorder is known to be associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis. The major histological types of thyroid disorders are malignant lymphoma, such as diffuse large B cell extranodal marginal zone lymphoma mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), and follicular lymphoma. All these lymphomas; however, T represent only a minority cases. Since rarely develops heterogeneous e...

Computed tomography (CT) is currently the most commonly used means for staging malignant lymphoma. 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), FDG-PET/CT fusion, and whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) are potential alternatives. The purpose of this study was to systematically review published data on the diagnostic performance of CT, FDG-PET, FDG-PET/CT fusion,...

BACKGROUND To correlate the imaging and pathological features and to discuss therapeutic modalities and the prognosis of malignant lymphoma originating in the parotid gland, which is relatively rare. METHODS The subjects were five patients with malignant lymphoma originating in the parotid gland. Three and two patients were stage I and stage II, respectively. CT examination was applied to all...

By endolymphatic injection of radioisotope 131I.Lipiodol, so.called endolymphatic radiotherapy, we treated 10 cases with malignant lymphoma and found a marked tumor reduction to normal size in all the 10 cases we tried. It seems that this method is one of the most effective therapeutic methods for malignant lymphoma, espe. cially invading into the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. ∗PMID: 4368508 [Pu...

Extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma, nasal type, is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma, most commonly affecting the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx. Clinically it is characterised by destruction of facial tissues, commencing in the midline. In most cases it arises from malignant transformation of natural killer cells (NK); sometimes from malignant transformation of cytotoxic T cells.E...
