In early breast cancer, the presence of metastasis in axillary lymph nodes is an important factor in prognosis and further treatment. However, axillary lymph node dissection causes many complications such as contracture of the shoulder joint, lymph edema, and paralysis of the upper extremities (Ernst, 2002). Convention holds that there is no need to dissect axillary lymph nodes for node-negativ...

The mechanism of fever in patients with Hodgkin's disease was investigated by examining endogenous pyrogen production by blood, spleen, and lymph node cells incubated in vitro. Blood leucocytes from febrile or afebrile patients with Hodgkin's disease did not produce pyrogen spontaneously. Spleen cells, however, frequently released pyrogen during initial incubations, unlike spleen cells from pat...

Systemic lymph node metastasis is a rare event in malignant mesothelioma. It is even more exceptional when systemic lymph node metastasis is the initial clinical presentation. Review of literature discloses only four cases in which metastatic lymphadenopathy was the only symptom of malignant mesothelioma. We, herewith, report three cases where the initial diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma was...

malignant lymphoma is the neoplastic transformation of cells, mostly originating from lymphoid tissues. malignant lymphoma has two major subtypes: hodgkin and non-hodgkin lymphoma. malignant lymphoma is the most common neoplasm in 3rd and 4th decades of life and more than two third of affected patients presented painless peripheral lymphadenopathy. involvement of waldeyer’s ring, epitrochlear a...

The present study deals with an immunocytochemical localization of S-100 protein in the rat lymph nodes and spleen. The immunoreactivity for S-100 was contained in the reticular cells within the germinal center. The immunoreactive cells possessed a scanty perinuclear cytoplasm and extended slender cytoplasmic processes among lymphocytes. No cell outside the germinal center showed any immunoreac...
