Chronic lymphocytic gastritis (CLG) is a recently described histopathological entity characterised by the presence of lymphocytes in the surface and foveolar epithelium of the gastric mucosa. Previous accounts'have paid attention to both the endoscopic and histological features of the condition but the presenting features and clinical correlates of the pathology have not been clearly characteri...

Bullous leukemia cutis is an uncommon clinical manifestation of cutaneous infiltration by leukemic cells, from B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. We present the case of a 67-year-old, female, chronic lymphocytic leukemia patient. She was taking chlorambucil and developed facial edema with erythema and warmth, misjudged as facial cellulitis. Two days later, she developed bullous lesions in the...

Clinico-morphological and immuno-histological data on 15 cases of marked lymphocytic lung tissue infiltration are presented. The nature of B- and T-lymphocyte distribution, their proliferative activity as well as patterns of distribution of cells synthesizing light chains of immunoglobulins are described. In 12 cases, lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia was diagnosed; it featured distinct bounda...

Background. Lymphocytic dermal infiltrations accompany the melanocytes loss in depigmenting vitiligo skin. These lymphocytes are incriminated during the pathogenesis of the disease. Fas receptor is a death receptor on the surface of cells that leads to programmed cell death (apoptosis) and FasL is its ligand. Fas/FasL system plays a crucial role in modulating apoptosis. Objectives. This study i...
