INTRODUCTION Lung mass is a common radiological finding among elderly. Bronchogenic carcinoma with metastases is the commonest cause of lung mass with multiple nodules in same or other lung seen in this age group. However, sometimes other uncommon malignancies with better prognosis can also present similarly. Primary pulmonary lymphoma is one of the rare malignancies, which have similar radiolo...

BACKGROUND Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL), accounting for approximately 25% of NHL cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the BCL6 and MUM1 gene expression and patient prognosis and stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS After ethical approval, in a cross-sectional study, tissue samples of 80 patients with diffu...

by Cry ptococcus neoformans which may involve the lungs, skin or other parts of the body, but has a marked predilection for the brain and meninges. Cry plococcus neoformans was described as saprophytic yeast when first isolated from fruit juices by Sanfelice.’ A few years later, a similar organism was isolated from milk. Both of these isolates were proved to be pathogenic for laboratory animals...

PURPOSE The increased use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has resulted in reports of incidental abnormal bone marrow (BM) signal. Our goal was to determine the evaluation of an incidental abnormal BM signal on MRI and the prevalence of a subsequent oncologic diagnosis. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients over age 18 undergoing MRI between May 2005 and October 201...

INTRODUCTION Lymphoid malignancies compose a wide spectrum of different morphologic and clinical syndromes known to vary widely throughout the world.

METHODS A 15 (May 1st 1996-April 30th 2010) years study of all patients who had lymph node biopsy at the Department of Haematology and Pathology, ...

Lymph node (LNL) and salivary gland lymphocytes (SGL) from three patients with pseudolymphoma and primary Sjögren's syndrome (1(0)SS) were characterized with monoclonal antibodies to demonstrate (a) a predominance of T cells (greater than 80%) reactive with anti-T cell antibodies OKT4 (greater than 70%) and OKT8 (less than 20%); (b) a high prevalence of activation antigens (greater than 50% of ...

OBJECTIVE Malignancies have long been recognized as a complication of long lasting immunosuppressive therapy. We reviewed our experience to investigate the incidence and the spectrum of non cutaneous de novo malignant neoplasms. METHODS Between March 1987 and March 1996, 296 patients underwent 303 cardiac transplantation in our service. The population at risk consists of all patients survivin...

DESIGN AND METHODS Its occurrence may increase due to the current trend to postpone pregnancy until later in life and the evidence suggested high incidence of AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in developing countries. The relatively rare oc...

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a type of non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) associated with poor progression-free and overall survival. There is a high relapse rate with conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy. Intensive combination chemotherapy including rituximab, dose intense CHOP- (cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-vincristine-prednisone) like regimens, high dose cytarabine, and/or consolidation with autolo...
