Survival of patients with multiple myeloma has improved substantially because of availability of new therapies including autotransplants, immunomodulating drugs and proteasome-inhibitors. Second primary cancers have emerged as an important determinant of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. Even though there is an increased risk of new cancers of the lymphoreticular and haematopoetic...

RATIONALE Classic Hodgkin lymphoma with pelvic involvement is a rare entity. Diagnosis and treatment for such an uncommon disease are challenging. Here we report a special case of classic Hodgkin lymphoma in pelvis. PATIENT CONCERNS A 20-year-old woman was admitted to our department due to left hip symptoms. The patient reported a history of drenching night sweats, low-grade fever, pruritic r...

We retrospectively analyzed 45 cases of HIV-associated Hodgkin lymphoma (HIV-HL). HIV-HL generally is a disease of young white men (mean age, 40.1 years) who acquired HIV infection by homosexual or bisexual behavior (68%), intravenous drug use (24%), and/or blood transfusion (8%). The mean interval between the diagnosis of HIV and HIV-HL was 5.2 years. Morphologic classification of nodal biopsy...

Provisional hypomyopathic juvenile dermatomyositis is a subgroup of clinically amyopathic juvenile dermatomyositis provisional. The diagnostic criteria include: Classic dermatomyositis skin lesions – which have to be confirmed by biopsy –, no involvement of proximal muscles, subclinical involvement of these muscles and normal level of muscle enzymes. These criteria should be present for a minim...

a case of primary malignant non-hodgkin's lymphoma of the breast is reported. this is the first well-documented case of breast lymphoma in our institution and also in iran. the diagnosis of primary breast lymphoma requires the presence of lymphomatous infiltration in close ass, tissue in patients with neither previous lymphoma nor concurrent lymphoma in another site. there is no definite c...

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can occur concurrently with chronic phase-chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) at initial diagnosis. Combination treatment with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors and rituximab-CHOP for patients newly diagnosed with CML and non-Hodgkin lymphoma is effective for both diseases. However, we found that this treatment combination may induce severe myelosuppression.

Primary adrenal gland lymphoma is an uncommon diagnosis. Even among the small group of reported cases, most cases are diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Primary Hodgkin lymphoma of the adrenal gland has only been described once previously in the English literature. We describe the second case of primary adrenal gland Hodgkin lymphoma and review pertinent literature.

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is an accurate, cost-effective method of evaluating lymphomas. The neutrophil-rich variant of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (NR-ALCL) is a rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma. To our knowledge, we present thefirst study of NR-ALCL by FNAB cytology. Histologic confirmation was available for both patients. Both cases were positive for Ki-1 (CD-30) and were either T-cel...

The incidence of Hodgkin lymphoma has increased among adolescents and young adults in recent decades, but the relevant risk factors in early life are still unknown. A national cohort study was conducted of 3,571,574 individuals born in Sweden in 1973-2008 and followed up for Hodgkin lymphoma incidence through 2009, to examine perinatal and family risk factors for Hodgkin lymphoma in childhood t...
