lymphomas are solid malignant tumors having a wide spectrum of clinical and pathological features. non-hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl) is a subtype of lymphoma with two-thirds of the cases presenting as lymph node enlargement. the remaining one third of nhl cases has been reported in the extranodal sites, including the gastro intestinal tract, waldeyer’s ring, bone, skin, and brain. intraoral non-hodg...

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is very uncommon in infancy and skin as the primary site of involvement in Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is rarely encountered. We describe a 10-month-old infant with T-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma who presented with multiple skin nodules as the predominant feature of her disease. The clinical manifestations, treatment strategy and disease outcome are reviewed. Key words: Non-Hodgk...

background and objectives: hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a major public health problem worldwide. replication and persistence of hcv genome have been described in the liver tissue as well as b cells lymphocyte. several investigations have reported that long-term persistence of hcv in b cells may result in hodgkin and non-hodgkin lymphoma. this study was aimed to determine frequency of hcv rna in h...

background: primary pancreatic lymphoma (ppl) is a rare condition and its differentiation from most commonly adenocarcinoma is very important because of different prognosis and treatment strategies. the aim of this study was presenting different aspects for differentiating ppl from pancreatic adenocarcinoma. materials andmethods: during 14 months, 5 patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasonogr...

non hodgkin lymphomas (nhl) are nodal or extra nodal monoclonal infiltrations by malignant lymphoid cells (b lymphocytes in 80% of cases), which are distinguished as indolent or aggressive forms. according to the heterogeneity of lymphoid cells and their ubiquitous anatomical distribution, these disorders can develop in any organ and have very heterogeneous clinical expressions, but they are us...

background : there are only a few reports that exist regarding primary non-hodgkin lymphoma of the genital tract. in this article, one case of primary b-cell type non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) of the cervix is presented. case history: a 45 year-old woman presented bloody vaginal  discharge. upon vaginal examination, the cervix was found to be enlarged. cervical biopsy revealed b-cell type non-hodg...

conclusions a high rate of 25% and 24.13% of hbv dna was detected among patients with hodgkin and non-hodgkin lymphoma, respectively. results three out of 12 (25%) hodgkin samples and seven out of 29 (24.13%) non-hodgkin showed positive hbv dna results. the results of sequencing revealed that the d genotype was predominant among the positive hbv patients. interestingly an unpredictable amino ac...

constrictive pericarditis (cp) is an uncommon post inflammatory disorder. it is described as pericardial thickening, myocardial constriction, and impaired diastolic filling. the most common etiologies are idiopathy, mediastinal radiotherapy, and prior cardiac surgery. less common etiologies include viral infections, collagen vascular disorders, renal failure, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and blun...
