A retrospective histological study based on biopsy material of 341 cases of malignant lymphoma diagnosed at the Department of Pathology of the Seoul National University from 1976 through 1983 was conducted, to reveal some characteristics of malignant lymphomas occurring in Korea. Malignant lymphoma was the seventh most common malignant tumor (4.03%) among Koreans. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma predomi...

abstract  background and objectives malignant lymphoma may be very difficult to be diagnosed through routine histopathological methods because they may mimic reactive architecture or contain reactive infiltrates. detection of the monoclonal lymphocyte population is one of the best methods of diagnosis since a monoclonal proliferation is strongly suggestive of neoplasia. by means of a pcr method...

Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is a rare form of extranodal lymphoma, this neoplasm the most common malignant tumor testis in elderly age, and majority cases are histologically diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL), accounting for 80% to 98% non-hodgkin lymphoma. Patients with primary DLBCL show continuously high risk recurrence no plateau survival curves tendency involve other sites, especially cent...

The incidence of primary malignant lymphoma arising in the female genital tract is extremely rare and constitutes approximately 0.05% of malignant tumors. Uterine malignant lymphoma develops in the endometrial stroma, causing minimal necrosis. It is therefore difficult to diagnose malignant lymphoma, as it does not involve genital bleeding or epithelial defects. We have performed transcervical ...

Although involvement of the heart by malignant lymphoma is relatively common, it is unusual to be detected premortem. We report a case of Hodgkin's lymphoma who presented with systemic signs and symptoms including abdominal distension, weakness, pallor, chills and fever, hepatosplenomegaly and generalize...

Lymphoma is usually the malignant tumor which originates from lymph node or lymph-tissues. The nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are rare primary sites for lymphoma. In the paranasal sinuses, lymphoma of maxillary sinuses is the most common, ethmoidal sinuses is more than that of frontal sinuses, sphenoid sinuses is the least. The most common presenting symptoms are nasal obstruction, rhinorrh...

Patients with sarcoidosis have a high risk of development of malignant lymphoma, and this association was coined the term "sarcoidosis-lymphoma syndrome". Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) is a distinct clinicopathological entity, and the stomach is the most common site. The occurrence of this type of lymphoma in the esophagus is extremely ra...

Involvement of the ovary by malignant lymphoma is well known as late manifestation disseminated disease. Primary ovarian lymphoma(POL) extremely rare , accounting for 0.5 % all NHLs and 1.5% neoplasms1 . We here in describe a case Large B cell Lymphoma involving bilateral ovaries 34 year old female.Preoperative CT imaging showed heterogenous soft tissue masses with cystic areas both ovaries. Sh...

OBJECTIVE To describe the imaging findings of primary and secondary pancreatic malignant lymphoma on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to help differentiate lymphoma of the pancreas from primary adenocarcinoma and autoimmune pancreatitis among others, and to discuss a few atypical presentations of pancreatitis mimicking lymphoma. CONCLUSION Knowledge of these imaging manifestations of lymphom...
