L YMPHOID TISSUES of mice injected with Rauscher leukemia virus have been shown, by immunofluorescent technics, to contain antigen ( s ) reactive with antimurine leukemia antibody prepared against the Rauscher strain.’ Other immunofluorescent studies2’3 have demonstrated that blood and bone marrow cells from patients with leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, polycythemia, teratoma, mycosis fu...

AIM To assess the clinical features and outcome of lymphoma when associated with sarcoidosis and to determine whether this association gives lymphoma a better prognosis. DESIGN Multicentre retrospective cohort study. METHODS Retrospective chart review. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were included (9 males, 12 females).

The human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV) is a novel type-C retrovirus isolated from patients with T-lymphoproliferative malignancies. Thirteen cases of HTLV-associated malignancy from US centers were studied in detail. Ten of these cases share common clinical features and define a typical virus-associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). All ten patients presented with Ann Arbor sta...

: 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...

Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma is a distinct type of peripheral T-cell lymphoma caused by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I. Although allogeneic stem cell transplantation after chemotherapy is a recommended treatment option for patients with aggressive adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma, there is no consensus about indications for allogeneic stem cell transplantation because there is no establ...

malignant lymphoma is the neoplastic transformation of cells, mostly originating from lymphoid tissues. malignant lymphoma has two major subtypes: hodgkin and non-hodgkin lymphoma. malignant lymphoma is the most common neoplasm in 3rd and 4th decades of life and more than two third of affected patients presented painless peripheral lymphadenopathy. involvement of waldeyer’s ring, epitrochlear a...

Ocular involvement in lymphoma is a relatively rare condition that can result from a primary intraocular lymphoma or an intraocular manifestation of systemic lymphoma. Lymphoma manifestations frequently masquerade as other more benign intraocular conditions including allergic or infectious conjunctivitis, uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute retinal necrosis, or herpetic retin...
