Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a T cell lymphoma occurring commonly in childhood and rarely in adults. Central nervous system involvement in ALCL is very rare and cerebellar involvement at presentation has never been described. We examine the case of a young adult who presented with a cerebellar mass. A 19-year-old boy presented with signs of raised intracranial tension, which, on ima...

BACKGROUND In vitro studies confirmed cytoreductive anti-tumor activity of crizotinib in experimental models of anaplastic large cell lymphoma in 2007. One case series and a few case reports describe the use of crizotinib in relapsed or refractory anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Even though data are limited regarding the dose of crizotinib in renal insufficie...

A case of Ki-1-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma of the pancreas is presented. The patient complained of abdominal pain and was jaundiced. Examination of a biopsy specimen obtained by duodenal endoscopy revealed malignant lymphoma, and surgery confirmed a large mass located in the region from the intra-pancreatic tissue around the lower common bile duct to the peri-pancreatic lymph nodes....

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a histological subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, largely characterized by anaplastic kinase (ALK) positivity, resulting from the chromosomal translocation t(2;5). We report pediatric case ALK-positive ALCL with primary concomitant involvement bone and central nervous system (CNS); thereafter, literature review about CNS was conducted. According to analyze...

Primary anaplastic large cell lymphoma of the trachea is a rare tumor. Common complaints are dyspnea and cough that could mimic a partially refractory asthma in some cases. We report a 16-year-old female with an anaplastic large cell lymphoma (null cell type) in which tracheal involvement was presented with life-threatening airway obstruction and subcutaneous emphysema. After debulking the tumo...

A collision tumor of T and B-cell lymphomas occur rarely. In this article we report a collision tumor of anaplastic large cell lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma in a 46 years old female. The tumor showed predominantly neoplasmtic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) component expressing CD30 and ALK with smaller areas of CD20+ diffuse large B cell lymphoma component. Polymerase chain ...

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma can selectively and predominantly infiltrate lymph node sinuses this pattern has been recognized as an unusual morphologic variant of entity. Sinusoidal lymphomas with CD30 expression are even more rare.We present a 63-year-old female, who came in chief complaint mass the axillar region for 2 months. The lymphnode ultrasound revealed multiple suspicious lymphadenop...

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive large B-cell lymphoma (ALK(+) LBCL) represents a distinct subtype of mature B-cell neoplasms in the most recent WHO classification of hematolymphoid neoplasms. It has a characteristic immunoblastic/plasmablastic morphology, a distinct immunophenotypic profile and recurrent cytogenetic/molecular genetic abnormalities, and has been reported in both the adult an...
