A Practical Guide to Differential Diagnosis of Small B Cell Lymphomas
Correct diagnosis and classification of lymphoid neoplasms depends on the integration of morphologic, immunophenotypic and molecular genetic features. The mature small B cell lymphomas despite their overlapping histomorphologies, have different clinical behavior and treatment. In this review, differentia...
متن کاملSclerosing mediastinitis in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal tumors.
Sclerosing mediastinitis is a rare disorder characterized by an extensive fibrotic reaction involving the mediastinum. Due to the compression or invasion of mediastinal structures, the disorder mimics neoplasia. We present three cases of superior vena cava syndrome in which sclerosing mediastinitis was confirmed. The pathophysiological process is related to enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, fib...
متن کاملLangerhans cell histiocytosis as differential diagnosis of a mediastinal tumor.
We describe the case of a 55-year-old man who presented with parasternal swelling. The chest CT scan showed a large tumor of the chest wall infiltrating the subcutaneous tissue. To assume histologic diagnosis an open biopsy was performed. Between the myofibrils a coarse, white tumor with infiltrative growth was noted. Histopathologic examination revealed expanded atrophic skeletal muscle that w...
متن کاملClinical, pathological and genetic features of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphomas and mediastinal gray zone lymphomas in children.
UNLABELLED Background Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma is a rare lymphoma accounting for no more than 3% of all B-cell lymphomas in children and adolescents. However, patients in this young age group with this lymphoma have the shortest event-free survival of patients with any B-cell lymphoma under current standard chemotherapy protocols. Lymphomas with features intermediate between pr...
