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...

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...

background and objectives: classic hodgkin lymphoma (chl), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (alcl) and some cases of diffuse large b cell lymphoma (dlbcl) have overlapping morphologic features. since they all represent distinct clinico-pathologic entities, we explored the differential diagnostic impact of immunophenotyping to discriminate between them. materials and methods: we included 61 cases ...

  A male patient with acute renal failure (ARF) due to large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma infiltration of kidney is presented. The diagnosis was suspected because of coincidence of ARF and tumor lysis syndrome non-responsive to conservative renal therapies. A renal biopsy confirmed diagnosis and appropriate chemotherapy led to complete improvement of renal function.  

common radiologic features of lymphoma in lung are included: adenopathy, pleural effusion, multiple or solitary masses and diffuse infiltration. we want to present a 28y/o male with pulmonary hodgkin lymphoma with a rare radiographic pattern and distinct histologic description that at first misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis but eventually lung biopsy confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary hodgki...

the occurrence of langerhans cell histiocytosis (lch) in a patient with lymphoma is an indication of a probable relationship between them. the two conditions have similarities both clinically and histopathologically. occurrence of these two conditions in the same patient, particularly not simultaneously, is rare. according to different management and treatment of these conditions, exact histopa...

a male patient with acute renal failure (arf) due to large b-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma infiltration of kidney is presented. the diagnosis was suspected because of coincidence of arf and tumor lysis syndrome non-responsive to conservative renal therapies. a renal biopsy confirmed diagnosis and appropriate chemotherapy led to complete improvement of renal function.

OBJECTIVE Classical Hodgkin lymphoma shows a peak incidence at 15-35 years, and a second peak in elderly patients; however, pathological characteristics of elderly patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma have not been analyzed enough. METHODS In a total of 154 patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma, we analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics of classical Hodgkin lymphoma patients ...

Combining fine needle aspirate cytology with flow cytometry immunophenotyping for the rapid diagnosis of lymphoproliferative lesions is commonplace practice in many institutions. Yet, a definitive diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma in many cases remains elusive, requiring subsequent tissue biopsy confirmation. In this issue of CytoJournal, Hernandez et al explore the potential role of using the incr...
