mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive type of b-cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma that originates from small to medium sized lymphocytes located in the mantle zone of the lymph node. the gastrointestinal tract is the predominant site of extranodal involvement in the form of multiple lymphomatous polyposis. multiple lymphomatous polyposis due to mantle cell lymphoma presenting with intussusception is ...

: 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...

background: primary cutaneous lymphomas (pcls) represent a heterogeneous group of t- and b-cell lymphomas that present in the skin with no evidence of extracutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis. the aim of this study was to assess and report the epidemiological characteristics of pcls in isfahan, isfahan province, iran — as a main province of iran. materials and methods: a total of 99 pati...

Mantle-cell lymphomas have been recognized in the new Revised European-American Lymphoma Classification as a peripheral B-cell neoplasm that has a distinct morphologic, immunologic, and genetic phenotype. Mantle-cell lymphomas have been subtyped into four categories, termed 'mantle zone', 'nodular', 'diffuse', or 'blastoid'. The incidence of the 'mantle-zone' pattern remains controversial. The ...

Mantle cell lymphoma accounts for 5-10% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and it has one the worst prognosis among all lymphomas. There is no therapy that can be considered as standard. Mantle cell lymphoma can show different "architectural" patterns as well different morphologic variants. Mantle cell lymphoma is believed to derive from marginal zone or peripheral blood memory B-cells. The immunop...

Mantle cell lymphoma is characterized by the t(11;14) chromosomal translocation, resulting in the overexpression of cyclin D1 (CycD1). Recently, cases of mantle cell lymphoma negative for cycD1 but positive for cycD2 or cycD3 were identified by gene expression profiling and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. We analyzed 4 cases of cycD2(+) mantle cell lymphoma with a translocation involving the...

Ocular adnexal lymphoma is the most frequent malignancy occurring in the eye region. With regard to the histology of these lesions, 2% to 7% of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas located in the periocular region are mantle cell lymphomas. A few cases of mantle cell lymphoma characterized by a fairly indolent course and prolonged survival have been described in the medical literature. We here report on a p...

PURPOSE Cladribine (2-chlorodeoxyadenosine, 2-CdA) has been reported to be effective in the treatment of low-grade lymphomas. The objective of this multicenter study was to evaluate the activity of cladribine in mantle-cell lymphomas as first-line therapy or in first relapse using an intermittent two-hour infusion of cladribine. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 47 courses, or an average of fou...

BACKGROUND The differentiation of biologically and clinically different malignant lymphoma diseases or subtypes is crucial because it leads to better prognostication and therapeutic decision-making. Attempts have been made at subtype classification for diagnosing lymphomas on the basis of gene-expression profiling. Although array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) has identifie...

Aim: Abnormal expression patterns of beta-tubulin isotypes may provide a molecular rationale for the behaviour of lymphoma subtypes. In the present study class II and III beta-tubulin expression was assessed in non-neoplastic and neoplastic lymphoid tissues with reference to potential utility as new tumour biomarkers. Methods and results: In this cross-sectional study class II and III beta-tubu...
