although involvement of the heart by malignant lymphoma is relatively common, it is unusual to be detected premortem. we report a case of hodgkin's lymphoma who presented with systemic signs and symptoms including abdominal distension, weakness, pallor, chills and fever, hepatosplenomegaly and generalized lymphadenopathy as well as signs of heart failure. echocardiography revealed lucent myocar...

Nodular sclerosis is a rare form of presentation related to both systemic and localized forms of scleroderma. We describe the case of a patient with nodular sclerosis in order to alert the medical community to recognize this entity.

Over the period 1972-1985, 2729 cases of Hodgkin’s disease were diagnosed in Los Angeles County, and 2492 were subclassified using the Rye classification. The occurrence of these cases was examined in relation to age, sex, race, place of birth, social class, occupation, and year of diagnosis. The pattern of nodular sclerosis occurrence conformed to expectations, supporting the polio model of et...

into the following 6 groups: (a) lymphocytic and/or histiocytic (L & H),1 nodular; (b) lymphocytic and/or histiocytic (L & H), diffuse; (c) nodular sclerosis; (d) mixed; (e) diffuse fibrosis; and (/) reticular. The L & H types represent essentially a pre dominant lymphocytic proliferation with histiocytes, while diffuse fibrosis and reticular are associated with lymphocytic depletion. Nodular s...

points of differentiation are reevaluated. For appreciation of the essential morphological features by pathologists. continued use of our original six histological types is recommended, since the four histological types of the Rye classification, although valuable for clinicians, do not convey morphological connotations. The significance of the Reed-Sternberg (R-S) cell variants are reviewed, w...

Almost all kidney transplant recipients with diabetes mellitus will eventually develop recurrence of diabetic nephropathy in their allograft. Despite this high incidence, there are very few reported cases of diabetic nephropathy of diffuse type, and the nodular sclerosis form is uncommon. Recurrence of diabetic nephropathy of nodular glomerulosclerosis type usually occurs during the second deca...

we have analyzed paraffin sections from 55 patients with histologically confirmed hodgkin’s disease (hd) for the presence of epstein-barr virus (ebv) markers using in situ hybridization to detect the ebv-encoded rnas (ebers) and immunohistochemistry to identify latent membrane protein-1 (lmp1) expression. tissue specimens from 55 cases of hodgkin’s disease included 22-mixed cellularity (mc), 27...
