primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare disease which mainly found in elderly men. it is usually a b-cell non-hodgkin’s lymphoma which primarily located in the heart and may involve the pericardium. the common presentations include massive pericardial effusion and heart failure. clinical diagnosis is often delayed in these patients and prognosis is dismal. we report a case of a 70-year-old man prese...

here, we report on a ten-year-old girl with chronic draining nonhealing ulcer in her neck and unilateral cervical chronic lymphadenopathy. her ulcer had poor clinical response to broad spectrum antibiotics and anti-tuberculosis treatment. she had undergone several wound biopsies with no conclusive results. she was otherwise healthy with no known underlying disease. final wound excisional biopsy...

primary breast lymphoma represents less than 1% of all primary breast malignancies and most primary breast lymphomas are of b-cell origin. the association of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (alk) negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (alcl), a very rare form of primary breast lymphoma, with silicone-filled breast implants has been suggested and several case reports supported this proposal, especia...

We report a rare case of primary lymphoma of fallopian tube in a 68-year-old woman who underwent total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for endometrial carcinoma. The specimen showed a well-differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma with superficial myometrial invasion. The left fallopian tube revealed a 1 cm nodule that histologically showed diffuse lymphoid follicles consistin...

Trephine biopsy (TB) combined with bone marrow aspiration (BMA) is the most common method for evaluating bone marrow (BM) involvement in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Nevertheless, the role of TB in high-grade lymphomas remains controversial. We reviewed the results of 42 consecutive BMAs and TBs performed simultaneously in 29 patients with lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) and small, non-cleaved cell lym...

Uterine lymphoma is a rare disease therefore, information regarding histologic type, immunophenotype of tumor cells and etiologic factors are limited. although secondary involvement of the genital tract occurs in up to 40% of cases• of disseminated lymphoma, lymphoma presenting with primary female genital tract . symptomatology is very unusual. We report a case of B-cell lymphoma in the ut...

Clonal chromosomal abnormalities were found in tumor tissue of 43 (84%) of 51 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-cell, 32; T-cell, 15) from an adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma-nonendemic area in western mainland Japan. Four tumors were tetraploid, and the other 39 had a chromosome number in the diploid range. Trisomies 3, 5, 7, 18, and X, monosomy 13, and loss of an X in female and a Y in ma...

The pattern of bone marrow infiltration in 40 consecutive cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) having marrow involvement is presented. For histological break-up, working formulation of NHLs was used. Low grade NHLs (50%) were the commonest, followed by intermediate (32.5%) and high grade NHLs (17.5%), respectively. Histologically, small lymphocytic type (32.5%) was the commonest, followed by...

background: breast implant associated anaplastic large t- cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-hodgkin lymphoma, with a reported incidence of 0.3% per 100,000 women with breast prosthesis per year. it presents most commonly as a peri-implant seroma, but may also present as a capsular mass, tumor erosion through skin, in a regional lymph node, or found incidentally during revision surgery. case p...
