INTRODUCTION Perianal pseudolymphoma is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder that can mimic cutaneous lymphoma. The condition can present acutely with concerns of perianal sepsis. The purpose of this case review is to review the current literature on perianal pseudolymphoma and emphasise to the surgical community its presentation, suggested aetiology and management. CASE PRESENTATION In this c...

BACKGROUND Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is the standard treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Only in rare cases, blockage may be caused by malignant tumors and even more exceptionally by lymphatic neoplasms so that biopsies are not routinely taken for diagnostic purposes. METHODS A computerized retrieval system was used for this retrospective study to identify all patients wi...

autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (alps) is a rare, inherited disorder of immune dysregulation secondary to defective lymphocyte apoptosis. this leads to uninhibited proliferation of lymphoid tissue manifesting with lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, autoimmune cytopenia, and an increased risk of lymphoid malignancy. we report a 2 year old boy with fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, he...

Thyroid lymphoproliferative disorder is known to be associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis. The major histological types of thyroid disorders are malignant lymphoma, such as diffuse large B cell extranodal marginal zone lymphoma mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), and follicular lymphoma. All these lymphomas; however, T represent only a minority cases. Since rarely develops heterogeneous e...

post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a lymphocyte proliferating disease, usually of b cell origin, and rarely of t cell. involvement of liver itself in liver transplant recipients as the primary organ is not common. herein we report our experience in two patients who primarily presented in the allografted liver, both of whom were promptly diagnosed after liver biopsy and treated succ...

epstein-barr virus (ebv) was discovered 50 years ago from an african burkitt lymphoma cell line. ebv-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (lpds) are life-threatening diseases, especially in children. in this article, we review ebv-associated lpds, especially in the area of primary immunodeficiency disease (pid). we searched pubmed for publications with key words including ebv infection, lym...
