Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) comprises of heterogeneous group lymphoid malignancies originating from lympho-reticular tissues and is quite uncommon in pregnancy (0.8 cases per 1,00,000 women). Anaplastic large cell (ALCL) a large-cell neoplasm with anaplastic morphology classified under NHL. Here, 31 year old primigravida diagnosed NHL ALCL subtype third trimester, started on chemotherapy which r...

INTRODUCTION Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The most common extranodal sites of anaplastic large cell lymphoma are skin, subcutaneous tissue, bone, lung, and gastrointestinal organs. The involvement of the skeletal muscle has been described rarely in extranodal anaplastic large cell lymphoma. CASE PRESENTATION An 89-year-old Japanese man visited our hos...

Aims-To elucidate the implications of allelic loss on chromosome 10 in the malignant progression of human gliomas.Methods-Eight microsatellite loci (D10S249, D10S191, D10S210, D10S219, D10S246, D10S222, D10S221, and D10S212) were analysed for chromosomal deletions in histologically benign and malignant, including recurrent, gliomas. Of the 16 original tumours studied (two astrocytomas, nine ana...

We describe a case of anaplastic meningioma presenting in an extracranial osseous location, initially diagnosed as cancer of unknown primary. Although anaplastic meningioma comprise 3% of all meningiomas, this subtype is more likely to be associated with metastases. The increased degree of dedifferentiation in anaplastic meningioma makes diagnosis difficult, especially if characteristic imaging...

Nodal peripheral T-cell lymphomas are a rare group of neoplasms derived from post-thymic and activated T lymphocytes. A review of scientific articles listed in PubMed, Lilacs, and the Cochrane Library databases was performed using the term "peripheral T-cell lymphomas". According to the World Health Organization classification of hematopoietic tissue tumors, this group of neoplasms consists of ...

CONTEXT Anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare undifferentiated variant of ductal adenocarcinoma, which commonly displays sarcomatoid spindle-cell and pleomorphic growth patterns. Anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas associated with mucinous cystic neoplasm has rarely been reported. CASE REPORT Here we report a unique case of an anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas in association with...

Various gene amplifications have been observed in gliomas. Prognostic-genomic correlations testing simultaneously all these amplified genes have never been conducted in anaplastic oligodendrogliomas. A set of 38 genes that have been reported to be amplified in gliomas and investigated as the main targets of amplicons were studied in a series of 52 anaplastic oligodendrogliomas using bacterial a...
