To clarify the clinicopathological findings of B-cell lymphoma associated with Sjögren’s syndrome (SJS) among Japanese Patients, 15 individuals with this disease were studied. The patients, 14 females and one male, ranged in age from 41 to 73 years with a median age of 56 years. These lymphomas arose not only in the salivary gland (n=4) but also in other mucosal extranodal sites (n=5). Histolog...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics of primary extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (pENL) patients, focusing on treatment and survival outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between October 2003 and March 2012, 802 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) were diagnosed and treated in two different cancer centers of Southern Turke...

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma usually involves lymph nodes, but can involve extranodal sites. Oral lymphomas are relatively rare and often difficult to diagnose in a clinical setting. A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the hard palate who had undergone external beam radiation therapy and was found to be well one year following treatment is reported.

Although diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) usually occurs in the lymph nodes, approximately 30-40% of the time it can have an extranodal site of involvement and it can arise in nearly every body site such as intestine, bone, breast, liver, skin, lung, and central nervous system. Muscle involvement of DLBCL is especially uncommon, comprising 0.5% of extranodal NHL. We report a case of a 72-y...

Approximately a third of the patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma present with extranodal involvement. Our study aims to identify primary extranodal sites of disease associated with prognosis in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the rituximab era. A secondary objective is to describe epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with extranodal DLBCL. We i...

The advances in low-grade lymphoma & T-cell lymphoma from the 2008 ASH meeting were presented. These included therapeutic regimens for low grade lymphoma, frontline bendamustine plus rituximab data, radioimmunotherapy consolidation in advanced disease, idiotype vaccine, and other novel therapeutic agents such as next generation anti-CD20 GA101, syk inhibitor Fostamatinib in treatment of low-gra...

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare subtype of extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) characterized by selective growth of neoplastic cells within the vascular lumen. IVLBCL involves all types of organs and mostly is associated with poor prognosis, but patients with cutaneous variant have significantly better survival. In this article we report a case of 80-year-old...

We performed a retrospective analysis to identify risk factors and survival outcome for central nervous system (CNS) relapse of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) by histologic type. Records of 600 PTCL patients diagnosed between 1999 and 2014 were analyzed including PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS, 174 patients), angoimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL, 144), ALK+anaplastic large cell ly...

Thyroid lymphoproliferative disorder is known to be associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis. The major histological types of thyroid disorders are malignant lymphoma, such as diffuse large B cell extranodal marginal zone lymphoma mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), and follicular lymphoma. All these lymphomas; however, T represent only a minority cases. Since rarely develops heterogeneous e...

Natural killer (NK) cell neoplasms, which include extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (nasal and extranasal) and aggressive NK cell leukemia, are generally rare, but they are more common in people of Oriental, Mexican and South American descent. These neoplasms are highly aggressive, and show a strong association with Epstein-Barr virus. Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma most commonly affects the nasal c...
