A 42 year old man presented with gluten-responsive coeliac disease and secondary pancreatic insufficiency. Subsequently his symptoms relapsed and repeat small intestinal biopsy showed villous atrophy and infiltration by leukaemic cells, despite continuation of a gluten-free diet. Serious causes of relapse and non-responsiveness in coeliac disease include enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, ...

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a serious complication following solid organ as well as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation due to prolonged immunosuppressive therapy. Plasmablastic lymphoma, although classically associated with HIV infection, has since been described in transplant patients as a variant of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder with varying clinical pres...

10.4103/2303-9027.199765 The gastric wall thickening is a diagnostic challenge for gastroenterologists and can be caused by a wide variety of benign and malignant disorders including lymphoma, adenocarcinoma, Menetriers’ disease, Crohn’s disease, peptic ulcer disease, sarcoidosis and tuberculosis. We present a case of diffuse gastric wall thickening that presented with long‐standing chronic dia...

SCC is seen most often in metastatic cancer of the (Flounders & Ott, 2003; Held-Warmkessel, 2005; Huff, 2005; Prasad & Schiff, 2005) • Breast • Lung • Prostate. SCC also may be seen with • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma • Multiple myeloma • Renal carcinoma • Colorectal cancer • Pancreatic cancer • Sarcoma • Cancer of unknown primary origin. Nonmalignant causes of SCC include (Flounders & Ott, 2003) • Her...

A case is reported of a neoplasm of mixed mesenchymal and neuroepithelial origin consisting of plasmacytoma, lymphoma, ganglioneuroma, and astrocytoma in the same mass. The tumour arose in the hypothalamus of a 43 year old diabetic woman who also had alpha cell hyperplasia and beta cell hypoplasia of the islets of Langerhans. It is suggested that both hypothalamic and pancreatic lesions produce...

LL2, an anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody against B-cell lymphoma, was covalently linked to the amphibian ribonuclease, onconase, a member of the pancreatic RNase A superfamily. LL2 increased in vitro potency (10 000-fold) and specificity against human Daudi Burkitt lymphoma cells while decreasing systemic toxicity of onconase. Monensin further increased potency of LL2-onconase on Daudi cells (IC(5...

pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare condition but as a result of increasing migration, tuberculosis is expanding internationally. we present a case of pancreatic tuberculosis in a 25 years old woman who presented with fever, and epigastric mass with pain. ct scan finding was compatible with pancreatic abscess, laparoscopic finding showed caseous materials. granuloma was found in histology of panc...

Primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is a rare condition that represents 2% of extranodal malignant lymphomas and 0.5% of all pancreatic masses.1 Diagnostic criteria for PPL include a lack of superficial lymphadenopathy or mediastinal lymphadenopathy on chest radiography, a normal peripheral leukoc...

Most of pancreatic masses are represented by neoplastic processes, primarily ductal adenocarcinoma and less frequently neuroendocrine tumor, lymphoma and metastasis. On the contrary, non-neoplastic lesions are represented by chronic, autoimmune pancreatitis and cysts [1, 2]. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth and fifth most common cancer in men and women, respectively [3]. Due to local invasion or...
