Primary gastric T-cell lymphoma is a rarely encountered lesion causing difficulties in endoscopic biopsy diagnosis. We present a case of gastric T-cell lymphoma with its clinical presentation, pathological, and laboratory findings, and discuss the differential diagnoses, and the biology of these lymphomas. The patient was a 55 year old male presenting with abdominal pain and nausea. He had two ...

Significant advances in the detection and treatment of initial cancers increase likelihood life-threatening subsequent primary cancers, particularly for long-term survivors. A brief patient case regarding a Hodgkin lymphoma survivor with gastric cancer will demonstrate how care providers can identify potential using American Cancer Society website. Primary have an essential role recognizing cri...

Primary gastric carcinoma is the most common cause of linitis plastica. Less frequently, metastatic gastric cancer from the breast, omental metastases and non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving the stomach have been reported to show similar radiographic findings as for linitis plastica. A metastatic gastric cancer from bladder cancer is extremely rare. We present an unusual case, the first to our knowl...

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the third most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and it is strongly associated with helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach. MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland usually presents as a localized disease process in extranodal tissues. The treatment options of MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland chiefly include radiation of the tumor, chemotherap...

  Abstract   Background: Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer and also the second   cancer related death all over the world. In recent years recorded data for tumor   has shown a rise in the incidence of gastric cancer in young individuals. The present   study was designed to compare some of the epidemiologic characteristics of individuals   suffering from gastric cancer aged below a...

background and aims. helicobacter pylori is a microaerophilic gram-negative spiral organism. it is recognized as the etiologic factor for peptic ulcers, gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric lymphoma. recently, it has been isolated from dental plaque and the dorsum of the tongue. this study was designed to assess the association between h. pylori and oral lesions such as ulcerative/inflammatory le...

Abstract Helicobacter pylori infection plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of gastric extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). However, the host response to this infection is also important in the development of the disease. In particular, NADPH oxidases (NOXs) which generate reactive oxygen species are known to induce cell damage possibly leading to c...

PURPOSE FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) play an essential role in modulating host responses to tumors and infections. The role of these cells in the pathogenesis of MALT lymphomas remains unknown. The aims of the study were to quantify the number of infiltrating FOXP3+ and CD3+ cells in patients with gastric MALT lymphoma at diagnosis and to study kinetics of these cells and CD20+ tumor cells ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Gastric MALT lymphoma is a model malignancy for examination of how neoplasia may arise from chronic inflammation. It is also exemplifies the translation of biologic knowledge of a disease towards improved clinical practice. Several recent publications have furthered the understanding of gastric MALT lymphoma pathogenesis, clinical behavior, and treatment. RECENT FINDINGS A s...

Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) is associated with a wide spectrum of gastroduodenal diseases. Strong evidence has shown that H. pylori is implicated in the development of gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, MALT lymphoma and gastric cancer. The result of multiple clinical trials had also found out that eradication of H. pylori results in cure of gastric and duodenal ulcers. The improveme...
