To measure stress in caged hens, differential counts of their wing vein blood were used to determine heterophil/lymphocyte (H/L) ratios and total white blood cell counts (TWBC). The H/L values of 18-wk samples from conventionally caged hens (CC) were not statistically different from hens raised in aviaries (AV) when calculated by either of 2 methods (H/L 1 and H/L 2). However, there was a high ...

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a well-known late complication of organ transplantation which incidence has increased after the introduction of more powerful immunosuppressive agents. A 58-year-old man performed ABO-incompatible living kidney transplantation in June, 2008. At 3 years and 9 months after the transplantation, the patient complained of general fatigue and dysp...

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an aggressive type of leukemia/lymphoma associated with the human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-I). We describe an adult male patient clinically and pathologically diagnosed as mycosis fungoides and treated with chemotherapy after which complete involution of the lesions occurred. The disease relapsed with confluent dyshidrosis-like vesicles on the palm...

BACKGROUND The data on the histology of cutaneous lesions of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is limited. AIMS To study the histopathology of cutaneous lesions of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) and to identify any features with diagnostic or prognostic significance. METHODS All patients admitted to the dermatology ward of governmen...

Prolymhocytic leukemia (PLL) is a rare subtype of lymphocytic leukemias and its cells are immature lymphocytes. It is divided into 2 subgroups: T-PLL and B-PLL according to the lymphocytic origin of the cells. Discriminating B-PLL from other diseases with clinically-similar features is important because of the different treatment approaches and follow-up programs. Hereby, we report a 80-year-ol...

BACKGROUND Modern automated haematology instruments are capable of performing leukocyte differentials faster, cheaper and with a higher precision than the traditional 100-cell manual differential count. Thus, in human laboratories, criteria are defined for performing a manual review of the blood smear resulting in a marked reduction of manual differential counts. While common in human laborator...

The question as to whether human leukemia is to be classified as a neoplasm or as an atypical hyperplastic response of the hemopoietic tissues to an unknown agent has been the subject of much speculation. The lymphosarcomata have been classified with the leukemias by many investigators because of the obvious similarity certain cases of leukemia bear to true neoplasms. The atypical cells of leuk...

Malignant lymphoma of the ethmoid sinus is very rare. A case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the left ethmoid sinus is presented here. A 79-year-old Japanese man was consulted to our hospital because of head ache and disturbance of left eye movement. Nasal endoscopy revealed a tumor, and imaging modalities including CT and MRI detected a tumor in the left ethmoid sinus. The tumor wa...

Abstract Introduction/Objective Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is a rare indolent tumor with the potential of recurrence and systemic spread. Thyroid involvement infrequently reported, generally seen in context Hashimoto thyroiditis. Additionally, amyloid deposition an exceptional complication extranodal MZL. We report unusual case 65-year-old woman rapidly growing symptomatic nodule r...
