Intravascular lymphomatosis is a rare lymphoma characterized by proliferation of malignant cells within the lumen of small blood vessels. We describe a case of intravascular lymphomatosis resulting in pulmonary hypertension, hypoxemia, and dyspnea. This lymphoma occasionally responds to combination chemotherapy, suggesting that pulmonary hypertension secondary to intravascular lymphomatosis may...

INTRODUCTION 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography can detect the pulmonary involvement of intravascular lymphoma that presents no abnormality in a computed tomography scan. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 61-year-old Japanese man who had pulmonary intravascular lymphoma and no computed tomography abnormality. We were able to make an antemortem diagnosis of pulmonary in...

primary non-hodgkin lymphoma of the larynx is rare, accounting for less than 1% of all laryngeal neoplasms. fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the literatureand to our knowledge this may be the first reported case of laryngeal non hodgkin lymphoma presented with hoarseness, aortic aneurysm, hepatitis b and skin rashes.

TOPIC: Lung Cancer TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Primary pulmonary lymphomas (PPLs) comprise 1% of lung neoplasias, with mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma making up approximately 80% these lesions. Pulmonary MALT is a rare extranodal marginal zone B-cell that typically indolent in nature. Clinical manifestations include fever, malaise, cough, dyspnea,...

background: primary pancreatic lymphoma (ppl) is a rare condition and its differentiation from most commonly adenocarcinoma is very important because of different prognosis and treatment strategies. the aim of this study was presenting different aspects for differentiating ppl from pancreatic adenocarcinoma. materials andmethods: during 14 months, 5 patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasonogr...

BACKGROUND Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is among the most common forms of extranodal lymphomas, but little is known about subcutaneous involvement in patients with non-primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphomas. DESIGN AND METHODS Patients with MALT lymphoma diagnosed and treated at our institution between 1999 and 2010 were analyzed for subcutaneous deposits from MALT lym...

Herein we describe the case of a 64-year old man with a history of mantle cell lymphoma found to have evidence of pulmonary parenchymal involvement by recurrence of his lymphoma. While lung involvement is not necessarily uncommon with Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas as a group, it is very rare for mantle cell lymphoma to involve the lung parenchyma. In addition, the radiographic manifestation of his pu...
