A series of 7 patients with granulocytic sarcoma is presented to illustrate its varied clinical picture. In particular, this condition may present with features which suggest a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The diagnosis will only be made if a high index of suspicion is maintained and special histopathological methods are used. Granulocytic sarcoma should be treated like an acute myeloid leukaemia.

lymphomas are solid malignant tumors having a wide spectrum of clinical and pathological features. non-hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl) is a subtype of lymphoma with two-thirds of the cases presenting as lymph node enlargement. the remaining one third of nhl cases has been reported in the extranodal sites, including the gastro intestinal tract, waldeyer’s ring, bone, skin, and brain. intraoral non-hodg...

lymphomas are solid tumors of immune system and non-hodgkin lymphomas (nhl) is the most prevalent lymphomas; with wide ranges of histological and clinical features, it is so difficult to identify them. herein, various bioinformatics tools (such as gene differential expressions, epigenetics and protein analysis) employed to find new treatment approach for nhl based on gene expression variation b...

PURPOSE Patterns of orbital lymphoma at diagnosis and follow-up are described. We also discuss differential diagnosis of orbital masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS This pictorial review contains 19 cases of orbital lymphoma before and after treatment. Superior-lateral quadrant and extra-conal location were observed predominantly. Effective response after treatment was presented on follow-up imagin...

We report Case Report Massive Thymic Hyperplasia Mimicking Lymphoma:...

BACKGROUND The incidence of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) among HIV-infected individuals remains unchanged since the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Recent epidemiological data suggest that CD4 count decline over a year is associated with subsequent diagnosis of HL. In an era of economic austerity monitoring the efficacy of cART by CD4 counts may no longer be required where C...

introduction: extranodal natural killer (nk)/t-cell lymphoma (nktcl) nasal type is a rare but well-known disease with poor prognosis. nktcl is more prevalent in asia and comprises about 7-10% of all non-hodgkin lymphoma cases in this region. the characteristic clinical pattern of nktcl is the destruction of the midline structures of the mid-face. case report: the present study examines a case o...

  Background and Objectives: Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and some cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have overlapping morphologic features. Since they all represent distinct clinico-pathologic entities, we explored the differential diagnostic impact of immunophenotyping to discriminate between them. Materials and Methods:...

background epstein-barr virus (ebv) is a dna virus which belongs to the herpesviridae family and in γ-herpesvirus subfamily, has been infected about 95% of the world’s population. ebv is transmitted through saliva and associated with different disease such as infectious mononucleosis, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, burkitt`s lymphoma, hodgkin and non-hodgkin`s lymphoma. the study proposed to determi...

Major advances have been made in the treatment of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The recognition that different NHL subtypes require different treatment strategies was fundamental to developing successful therapy regimens. Currently established therapy groups are lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) of precursor B- or T-cell type, mature B-cell neoplasms (B-NHL), and anaplastic large cell lympho...
