BACKGROUND Non Hodgkin lymphomas are the most common lymphomas in Uganda. Recent studies from developed countries have shown differences in survival for the different immunophenotypes. Such studies are lacking in Africa where diagnosis is largely dependent on morphology alone. We report immunohistochemical and other prognostic factors in B cell non Hodgkin lymphoma patients in Kampala, Uganda. ...

Over the past 30 years, the survival rate of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma has significantly improved. In the mid 1970s, patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma were expected to have a 5-year survival of approximately 45%. In 2008, it is estimated that 60–70% of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma would be alive after 5 years from diagnoses. The improvement in patient’s surv...

Diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the West. In Brazil, it is the fifth cause of cancer, with more than 55,000 cases and 26,000 deaths per year. At Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo - HCFMUSP, diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma represents 49.7% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases. Initially, the classification o...

Several reports indicate that lungs are the extralymphatic site most commonly affected in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma; however, the data in children are rather limited. This retrospective study aimed to assess the frequency, clinical picture, and the impact on prognosis in children with pulmonary Hodgkin lymphoma, who were diagnosed and treated in a single center during a 10-year period. Pul...

We present the second report in Latin America, and first case our country, Colombia, on presentation of primary Coledoco non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which mimics cholangiocarcinoma diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonography.

Background: The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been linked to a variety of B-cell lymphomas, including Burkitt lymphoma (BL), classical Hodgkin (cHL), and diffuse large (DLBCL), at rates ranging from 5 10% DLBCL cases >95% in endemic BL. Methods: Present study conducted AL-Najaf Holy City; it is cross sectional study. All patients were recruited Middle Euphrates Cancer Research Unit Laboratory...

Introduction: Cases of patients with nonHodgkin's lymphoma observed after therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma have been reported. However, occurrence of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas in such settings at a previously uninvolved site is extremely rare. The mechanism behind this remains obscure thereby presenting diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma for the treating physician. Case Report: We report a case of a ...

Primary splenic lymphoma is rare as non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Splenic infiltration of lymphoma cells may cause splenomegaly in many cases. However, splenomegaly is caused not only by tumor involvement but also by non-tumorous disorders. One of the most prevalent non-neoplastic causes is portal hypertension mostly due to liver cirrhosis. On the other hand, liver cirrhosis may underlie various extra...

objective(s): the aim of this study is to evaluate the role of pet-ct in identification of different patterns of extranodal involvement in hodgkin’s disease (hd) and non-hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl) and to enlist the common sites of extranodal involvement in each histological type and compare our results with the existing literature. methods: in this retrospective study of 281 cases of lymphomas of...
