A 2-year-old, castrated, male Russian blue cat presented with acute dyspnoea, cyanosis, and lethargy. thoracic radiography revealed a large cranial mediastinal mass; the computed tomography caudal lobe atelectasis of right lung pericardial pleural effusions. The cytodiagnostic tests high-grade CD4<sup>+</sup> CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell lymphoma as clinical stage Vb; l-aspara...

Indolent T-lymphoblastic proliferation (iT-LBP) is a recently recognized benign pathologic condition commonly associated with Castleman disease. The lymph node of this shows preserved lymphoid architecture nonclonal T-lymphoblasts in the interfollicular area. iT-LBP rare and diagnosis exclusion. As rule, it requires sophisticated techniques to exclude leukemia/lymphoma (T-LBL/L). We present an ...

The phase relationships of the CeCo5-SmCo5 pseudobinary system have been studied by means x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric measurements (TGM), and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM–EDS). XRD results show that continuous solid solutions were formed in this system, all (Ce, Sm)Co5 belong to a hexago...

Acute phase proteins (APP) are regarded as a useful diagnostic tool in humans with lymphomas, leukaemias and multiple myeloma. C-reactive protein (CRP) and haptoglobin concentrations were measured in dogs with malignant multicentric (high grade) lymphoma (n=16), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) (n=11), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) (n=7) and multiple myeloma (n=8). Twenty-five healthy ...

common site for the presentation of extranodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Depending on the series, follicular lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract accounts for 3.6 % of gastrointestinal lymphoma [1]. Above all, follicular lymphoma shows a predilection for the duodenum, where 55.6 %– 62.5 % of cases are located [1,2]. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with epigastralgia. An elevated lesi...

Two hundred sixteen patients with a nonfollicular small cell lymphoma followed up in our department over a 5-year period have been reviewed to define the clinical behavior and survival of patients with each histologic subtype. The respective frequencies of major subtypes were: small lymphocytic/lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma (immunocytoma, SL/LPL), 28%; large cell-rich immunocytoma (LCRI), 7%; man...

Overexpression of Bcl-2/Bcl-X(L) protein has been observed in more than 80% of B-cell lymphomas. Diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLCL) is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. (-)-Gossypol, a natural product isolated from cottonseeds, was discovered as a potent small-molecule inhibitor of Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L) proteins, with a Ki value in the nanomole per liter range for both. In vitro, ...

OBJECTIVES to compare overall survival in HIV-associated lymphoma (HIV-L) and lymphoma raising in HIV-negative population (nHIV-L) and to identify predictors of increased risk of death. METHODS All HIV+ patients with HIV-associated lymphoma (Hodgkin lymphoma, HL; non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, NHL) observed between 1.2000 and 12.2013 in the ICONA Foundation Study cohort or in three collaborating centr...

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (AIDS-NHL), a major source of morbidity and morta l i i among AIDS patients, are derived from B cells and can be classified into two main histologic categories, m a l l noncleaved cell lymphoma (SNCCL) and diffuse large-cell lymphoma (DLCL). DLCL includes two histologic subsets, ie, large noncleaved cell lymphoma (LNCC...
