Background: Efforts were made in order to identify the etiologic factors in pediatric cancers. Several studies have suggested a probable etiologic association between lymphoma and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV); therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association of EBV in childhood lymphoma. Materials and method: Paraffin block of 63 pediatric patients with lymphoma was studied for d...

BACKGROUND Although renal involvement is often present in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), primary renal NHL is a rare diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case report of a 72-year-old asymptomatic male who underwent a robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy on an atrophic left kidney with evidence of an infiltrating mass. Pathology report demonstrated a grade 1 follicular ly...

Primary small intestinal malignancies are rare and accounting for 1-2% of all gastrointestinal (GIT) tumors. Extranodal lymphomas most commonly found in GIT with majority sites stomach, intestine ileo-cecal junction. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) predominantly B cell type constituting 90% cases few T type. The purpose this editorial is to highlight the morphology rarity lymphoma encountered jeju...

BACKGROUND The occurrence of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is well known. However, there is lack of information in the literature in terms of the significance and impact of such phenomenon on the clinical course of these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the clinical and laboratory features, course and response of 16 patients with no...

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is the third most frequent malignant tumour in the head and neck, basocellular carcinoma of the skin and mucosal squamous cell carcinoma being the most frequent. Although nodal enlargement is the most common presentation in the head and neck, NHL may occur in extranodal locations. Two distinct extranodal sites are recognised: extranodal lymphatic locations or involv...

A series of 520 cases of non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma (NHL; 374 of B-cell, 130 of T-cell, 5 of non-Blnon-T-cell, and 11 of undetermined phenotype) was analyzed for the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) using RNA in situ hybridization (RISH). The aims of the study were to assess the frequency of EBV-encoded small nuclear RNAs 1 and 2 (EBER), abundant immediate early RNAs (BHLF), and latent membrane...

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin's disease (HD) in the UK haemophilia population during the 22 year period 1978-1999. DESIGN AND METHODS An analysis of patient data included on the UK Haemophilia Centre Doctors' Organisation lymphoma register. The number of cases of NHL and HD occurring in HIV-positive and negative patients in each 3-year period...

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of survival for patients with primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (PGI-NHL). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 104 PGI-NHL patients who were admitted in Baoding First Central Hospital from July 2003 to January 2014. Results There were 58 males and 46 females. The median age of onset was 53 (1...

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been indicated to be correlated with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) susceptibility. However, the results of these studies on the association remain inconsistent. This meta-analysis was conducted to derive a more accuracy estimation of the association between the common SNPs (rs1800890, rs1800896, rs1800871 and rs1800872) in IL-10 ...

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) develops in about 5% to 10% of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. The vast majority of AIDS-NHL are clinically aggressive B-cell NHL that are histologically classified as small noncleaved cell lymphoma (SNCCL), large cell immunoblastic plasmacytoid lymphoma (LC-IBPL), and large noncleaved cell lymphoma (LNCCL). In an attempt to understand the molecu...
