Case history: Malignant lymphoma is a neoplastic proliferative process of the lymphopoietic portion of the reticuloendothelial system that involves cells of either the lymphocytic or histiocytic series in varying degrees of differentiation and occurs in an essentially homogenous population of a single cell type. The character of histologic involvement is either diffuse (uniform) or nodular and ...

This retrospective descriptive study documented the frequency of oral mucositis and examined the impact of certain variables in the development of oral mucositis in autologous stem cell transplants. Oral mucositis occurred in 90% of the patients, but 53.57% developed ulcerations. On average, oral mucositis started on day seven, lasted for six days and resolved on day 13 after the initiation of ...

Malignant lymphoma of the oral cavity is rare and of the tongue even rarer. Location of oral lymphomas is more frequent in masticatory mucosa than in movable mucosa; the lingual and buccal mucosa is rarely involved; whereas the gingival vestibule and Waldeyer's ring seem to be the most frequent site of occurrence. We describe a 78 year old male who presented with a mass lesion primarily involvi...

Plasmablastic lymphoma is a rare and a relatively new entity that was first described in the jaws and the oral cavity of HIV-AIDS patients. We report a case of plasmablastic lymphoma involving the liver in an AIDS patient. Plasmablastic lymphoma is considered a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with a unique phenotype and predilection for the oral cavity. The case presented had a unique hepatic les...

This case report is aimed to investigate the effects of Korean medicine therapy (KMT) alone including oral herbal medicine on treating a patient with atypical peripheral CD4 T cell lymphoma. The oral medicine used is Hyunamdan made of heat-processed ginseng and Hangamdan S. An 87-year-old man who was diagnosed as having atypical peripheral CD4 T cell lymphoma on November 30, 2015 was treated wi...

Malignant lymphoma was induced in Japanese (JWY), New Zealand (NZY) and Dutch (DUY) white rabbits by oral spray of cell-free pellets of culture fluid (crude virus fraction) of Ts-B6 cells (cynomolgus monkey B-lymphoblastoid cells harboring Epstein Barr virus-related simian herpesvirus or Cyno-EBV). Nine of 11 inoculated rabbits developed malignant lymphomas within 42-160 days after oral inocula...
