Non Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) are nodal or extra nodal monoclonal infiltrations by malignant lymphoid cells (B Lymphocytes in 80% of cases), which are distinguished as indolent or aggressive forms. According to the heterogeneity of lymphoid cells and their ubiquitous anatomical distribution, these disorders can develop in any organ and have very heterogeneous clinical expressions, but they are...

AIMS Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is an accepted means of diagnosing and typing common forms of lymphoma, particularly small lymphocytic lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and large B cell lymphoma. However, its usefulness for diagnosing less common forms of lymphoma is not clearly established and this study was designed to examine this. METHODS The study reviewed the FNAs of suspected l...

Most human lymphomas were consistent. Only few patients suffered two or more different types of lymphomas. We presented a case of discordant lymphomas composing simultaneous gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and mixed cellularity Hodgkin lymphoma in stomach in a 50 y old male patient. The two lymphomas were clone-related lesions and with the same precursor cell, but they had their own typic...

Aim: To evaluate the clinical manifestations, histopathologic composition, and demographic characteristics of lymphomas presented in head neck.
 Materials Methods: Records subjects who had a diagnosis lymphoma by an otolaryngology clinic tertiary referral hospital between May 2007 July 2017 were reviewed. Demographic features data regarding histopathology, radiology, presentation evaluated...

We identified the human germinal center-associated lymphoma (HGAL) in gene-expression profiling studies of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The expression of HGAL correlated with survival in patients with DLBCL. The HGAL gene is the human homolog of M17, a mouse gene expressed specifically in normal germinal center (GC) B cells. We generated a monoclonal antibody against the HGAL protein ...

background and objectives: human herpes 6 virus (hhv-6) could remain latent and chronic in the host cells after primary infection. hhv-6 genome encodes certain trans activation proteins which may results in development of malignantlymphoma. the association of human herpes six virus (hhv-6) infection and hodgkin and non-hodgkin lymphomas is strongly supported by epidemiological studies. the aim ...

The gastrointestinal tract is the predominant site of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Multiple lynphomatous polyposis is a type of appearance of mantle cell lymphoma. It is characterized by multiple polypoid lesions involving long gastrointestinal tracts and it accounts for only approximately 1-2% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. A 78 years old patient was admitted to our Department of General Surge...

Primary CNS lymphoma is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma whose growth is restricted to the central nervous system. We used cDNA microarray analysis to compare the gene expression signature of primary CNS lymphomas with nodal large B-cell lymphomas. Here we show that while individual cases of primary CNS lymphomas may be classified as germinal center B-cell, activated B-cell, or type 3...

BACKGROUND The clinicopathological features and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection status of lymphoma in children and adolescents in South China is under-researched. South China is a well-known high-incidence area of EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS A cohort of 662 consecutive children and adolescents' lymphomas was retrospectively analyzed and Epstein-Barr virus encoded RNAs ...

Localized Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma is a rare disease with an overall good prognosis but frequent late relapses. Due to it's rarity there is no standard therapeutic approach and pathological diagnosis may be hard. In this paper we discuss the technical aspects of the radiation therapy and histological issues. The new fields reductions proposed for classical Hodgkin lymphom...
