background epstein barr virus (ebv) is one of the most common viral infections in human population. ebv has a significant role in pathogenesis of hodgkin's lymphoma, burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. the role of ebv in non-hodgkin’s lymphoma, diffuse large b cell (nhl - dlbl) in the head and neck is controversial. objectives the purpose of this study is to find out the ...

burkitt's lymphoma is a lymphatic tumor classified as non-hodgkin lymphoma with small non cleaved cells. the disease has an incidence of two cases per million patients in north america, and usually present with an intra-abdominal tumor, or enlarged cervical lymph nodes. massive amounts of peritoneal and plural fluid is rarely seen in these patients. a three year-old girl presented with massive ...

PURPOSE Telomere length plays an important role in the maintenance of chromosomal stability and in tumorigenesis. We hypothesized that telomere length in peripheral WBC DNA obtained from healthy individuals would be a predictor of future risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Using a new assay to measure relative telomere length, monochrome multiplex quantitative PCR, wh...

Although it is known that B-cell lymphomas occur more frequently in immunocompromised patients, thus far such an association has not been clearly established for T-cell lymphomas. Of the 251 patients who were diagnosed with a T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in our center between 1999 and 2014, at least 25 were identified in immunocompromised patients. Herein, we retrospectively analyzed the clinica...

Indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas are characterized by a prolonged phase that is typically followed by a clinical progression associated with an accelerated clinical course and short survival time. Previous studies have not identified a consistent cytogenetic or molecular abnormality associated with transformation. The development of a transformed phenotype, evolving from the original low-grade co...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with altered immune function and chronic inflammation. Both of these immune conditions are implicated in the pathogenesis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The authors performed a systematic review to summarize findings from the current literature on the association between history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Ten case-control studi...
