BACKGROUND Lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS) occurs in mostly extra nodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. LAHS arising from gastrointestinal lymphoma has never been reported. Here we report a case of gastric T-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year-old woman presented with pain, redness of breasts, fever and hematemesis. Hematological examinatio...

INTRODUCTION Burkitt lymphoma and B cell lymphomas in childhood may arise in many atypical locations, which on rare occasions can include gastric mucosa. A case of primary gastric Burkitt lymphoma is described in a child presenting as a protein-losing enteropathy, including the direct monitoring of the disease response by sequential endoscopic biopsy and molecular analysis. CASE PRESENTATION ...

AIM To compare (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) features in gastric lymphoma and gastric carcinoma. METHODS Patients with newly diagnosed gastric lymphoma or gastric carcinoma who underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT prior to treatment were included in this study. We reviewed and analyzed the PET/CT features of gastric wall lesions, including ...

Primary gastric carcinoma is the most common cause of linitis plastica. Less frequently, metastatic gastric cancer from the breast, omental metastases and non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving the stomach have been reported to show similar radiographic findings as for linitis plastica. A metastatic gastric cancer from bladder cancer is extremely rare. We present an unusual case, the first to our knowl...

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is one of the most common lymphomas and accounts for about 7% of all newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The clinical course of MALT lymphoma is relatively indolent and, in the majority of cases (50%), the lymphoma arises within the stomach. Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), an uncommon variant of extranodal NHL, can aff...

background: primary gastric lymphoma (pgl) is an uncommon malignancy with various histological subtypes and treatment outcomes. the aim of this study was to investigate the potential prognostic factors and clinicopathological characteristics of iranian patients with pgl. methods: the clinicopathological characteristics of 60 patients with pgl were retrospectively reviewed from 2001 to 2012. the...

OBJECTIVE To present a histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of primary gastric lymphomas that was reclassified according to the new World Health Organization classification of lymphoid neoplasms. METHODS We reviewed the morphological and immunohistochemical features of 28 patients with gastric lymphomas, diagnosed in the Department of Pathology at the University Hospital of Tishre...

we present 16 years old girl with primary breast lymphoma involving the both breasts simultaneously and co-incidence of central nervous system (cns) involvement which originated from the breast, in addition to evidence of lymphoma in multi-organ such as skin, mediastinum and some abdominal viscera. bilaterality has been observed in some series, but reports are few and series are often very smal...

Gastrointestinal lymphoma is the most common form of extranodal lymphoma, accounting for 30%-40% of cases. The most commonly involved site is the stomach (60%-75% of cases), followed by the small bowel, ileum, cecum, colon and rectum. The most common histological subtypes are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)....

this investigation was done in kennan from march 1989 to march 1993 to study the epidemiology of cancers in this province and to compare the results with a previous study performed in this area and some available statistics. a total number of 288 1 new cases of malignancy were registered and the crude relative frequency of cancers was studied. gastric cancer with a frequency of 9.7%, malignant ...
