primary breast lymphoma represents less than 1% of all primary breast malignancies and most primary breast lymphomas are of b-cell origin. the association of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (alk) negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (alcl), a very rare form of primary breast lymphoma, with silicone-filled breast implants has been suggested and several case reports supported this proposal, especia...

Uterine lymphoma is a rare disease therefore, information regarding histologic type, immunophenotype of tumor cells and etiologic factors are limited. although secondary involvement of the genital tract occurs in up to 40% of cases• of disseminated lymphoma, lymphoma presenting with primary female genital tract . symptomatology is very unusual. We report a case of B-cell lymphoma in the ut...

background: breast implant associated anaplastic large t- cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-hodgkin lymphoma, with a reported incidence of 0.3% per 100,000 women with breast prosthesis per year. it presents most commonly as a peri-implant seroma, but may also present as a capsular mass, tumor erosion through skin, in a regional lymph node, or found incidentally during revision surgery. case p...

: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) represent a heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin's (NHL), characterized by poor outcome, accounting approximately for 10%-15% all non-Hodgkin in the western countries, and with higher prevalence Asia. Cyclin D1 immunoreactivity is characteristically seen mantle cell lymphoma. It also observed hairy leukemia, plasma myeloma proportion diffuse large B-cell lymp...

abstract background: primary cardiac lymphoma is extremely rare. case report: in this care report, we present the case of a 46-year-old man with primary cardiac lymphoma involving left atrium and interatrial septum, presenting as dyspnea palpitation and irregular heart beat. the diagnosis was obtained by transthoracic echocardiography and surgical biopsy with subxiphoid approach which revealed ...

background: various infectious agents like ebstein barr virus (ebv), htlv-1 and helicobacter pylori have known as etiologic factors in different sub-types of lymphoma. although hepatitis c virus (hcv) has not only been important for its hepatotropism and hepatitis development, but also in recent years its association with some forms of non- hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl), especially b cell nhl, has r...

diffuse large b-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non-hodgkin lymphoma. micrornas (mirnas) are endogenous small rna, which can regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. mirna profiling has shown a great potential as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. the present study was performed at the nemazee teaching hospital (shiraz, iran) from 2011 to 2013.the aim of thi...

background and objective: approximately half of patients with diffuse large b-cell lymphoma are cured with current chemotherapy regimens. the purpose of this study was to evaluate bax and bcl2 expression and their relationship with the response to chemotherapy. materials and methods this study was a prospective analysis on 44 patients with diffuse large b-cell lymphoma. their specimens were sta...
