BACKGROUND Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, and aggressive NK-cell leukemia are highly aggressive diseases with a poor outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS We report a multicentric French retrospective study of 15 patients with relapsed, refractory, or disseminated disease, treated with L-asparaginase-containing regimens in seven French centers.

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...

Recent leading topics in heavy fermion (HF) compounds physics are unconventional superconductivity and marginal Fermi liquid behaviour. Since these phenomena often occur in the vicinity of a magnetic instability, the concept of quantum phase transition has attracted a lot of attention both on experimental[1, 2] and theoretical[3, 4, 5] sides. Such a transition between a magnetically ordered sta...

An 8-year-old child originally from Morocco spent 1 month in Spain before complaining of abdominal pain for the previous 24 hours. There was no fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. He had lived in a rural area with dogs and sheep. Physical examination detected a mass in upper-right abdominal area. Chest X-ray showed right hemidiaphragmatic elevation. Ultrasonography showed a hypoechoic cyst mass of 12...

BACKGROUND Human cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, with the liver as the most frequently affected organ, is known to be highly endemic in Tibetan communities of northwest Sichuan Province. Antiparasitic treatment with albendazole remains the primary choice for the great majority of patients in this resource-poor remote area, though surgery is the...

background: expression of epstein-barr virus latent member protein-1 (ebv lmp-1) and loss of p16 protein expression are documented in lymphoma, indicating a relationship between them, but this relationship is not clear and sometimes contradictory. thus, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between the loss of p16 and ebv lmp-1 expression in jordanian patients diagnosed with lymp...

non-hodgkin lymphoma usually presents with generalized lymphadenopathy, but it can also involve any part of the human body. lymphomatous involvement of muscles is a rare presentation and has been reported to occur in only 1.1% in non-hodgkin lymphoma. here we, present a 32 year-old iranian man with primary involvement of spleen, bone, bone marrow and muscle, mimicking soft tissue sarcoma; core ...

Schistosoma japonica invades the human body through the skin with Oncomelania nosophora, an intermediate host, and adult schistosoma inhabit and lay eggs in the mesenteric and portal veins. Because of the extinction of Oncomelania nosophora in Japan, all new patients with acute schistosomiasis have become infected abroad. We report a case of malignant lymphoma with coexisting S. japonica infect...
