The article aims to present a case report which male patient HTLV-1 carrier status admitted for investigation eczematous and crusted chronic skin lesions submitted dermatologic evaluation biopsy considering hypothesis cutaneous form lymphoma associ...

Background:Lymphoma is a malignancy that occurs primarily in the lymph nodes. Lymphoma divided into 2 major parts, namely: Non-Hodgkins (LNH) and Hodgkins (LH). About 85% of these malignancies are LNH. Epidemiological studies have found LH rare children under 5 years age relatively adults, but most common cancer among aged 15-19 years. Computed Tomography Scan(CT-Scan) frequently used examinati...

Pretreatment lymph nodes. bone marrow. center cell (FCC) lymphomas (55%). The and blood were examined in 1 76 cases of pattern of bone marrow involvement was non-Hodgkins lymphoma. By the criteria of most frequently focal paratrabecular in Bthe Lukes and Collins functional-morphocell lymphomas and diffuse in T-cell logical classification. 1 58 (90%) were B-cell lymphomas. Blood involvement was ...

B-cell infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been a controversial topic. To examine whether HCV has a genetically determined lymphotropism through a co-receptor specific for the infection by lymphotropic HCV, we established an infectious clone and chimeric virus of hepatotropic and lymphotropic HCV strains derived from an HCV-positive B-cell lymphoma. The viral envelope and 5'-UTR sequences ...

Human T-ceil lymphotropic virus, type 1 (HTL V-I) is considered to be the causative agent of adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia and spastic paralysis, and seems to be common in Khorasan Province. 300 blood samples from Mashhadi and 180 from Gonbadi blood donors were obtained (all samples from healthy subjects). Serological screening was done by passive particJe- agglutination test and confirme...

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma is a rare malignancy associated with the human retrovirus human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1. It is characterized by the proliferation of highly pleomorphic lymphocytes. Involvement of peripheral blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and extranodal sites such as skin, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and central nervous system can occur. There are four distin...

We experienced a 58-year-old Korean man with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma with features of histologically anaplastic large cell lymphoma involving the skin and testis. The patient had cutaneous nodules in both extremities and a palpable right testicular mass. Right orchiectomy was performed and specimens of removed testicle and skin nodules showed immunohistologically anaplastic large cell ly...

A typical person infected with the retrovirus human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carries tens of thousands of clones of HTLV-1-infected T lymphocytes, each clone distinguished by a unique integration site of the provirus in the host genome. However, only 5% of infected people develop the malignant disease adult T cell leukaemia/lymphoma, usually more than 50 years after becoming infecte...
