Background: One stage primary resection and anastomosis of left sided colonic obstruction with on-table antegrade colonic lavage is in vogue, to reduce the risk of postoperative infective complications and anastomotic dehiscence. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the safety of single-stage resection and anastomosis for acute left-sided colonic obstruction due to acute sigmoid volvulus, w...

Although about 50% of lung cancers have distant metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis, colonic metastases are extremely rare. This report presents a rare clinical case of colonic metastasis from primary squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. A 60-year-old female with anorexia and fatigue was referred to the department of pulmonary surgery in our hospital. The patient was diagnosed with prim...

b-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (b-lbl) is an uncommon subtype of pediatric non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) which rarely involves the skin primarily. the positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine- 18] fluoro-d: -glucose integrated with computed tomography (18f-fdg pet/ct) scan findings of a 8-year-old boy with cutaneous b-lbl were presented. pet/ct scan demonstrated mild fdg uptake in the ...

A 55-year-old man with a chief complaint of melena had diffusely infiltrated lymphoma from the rectum to the sigmoid colon and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. Biopsy specimen obtained from the rectum revealed diffuse medium-sized lymphoma cell with plasmocytosis. Histochemical analysis with monoclonal antibodies indicated that the origin of the tumor cell to be T-lymphocyte. Chemotherapy wit...

Angiotropic lymphoma, also known as intravascular lymphomatosis, is characterised by widespread intravascular proliferation of malignant lymphoid cells, usually without evidence of focal disease. A case of a 52 year old man referred for investigation of a two year history of pyrexia of unknown origin, skin rash and multiple organ failure is described. Angiotropic lymphoma was seen in gastric, c...

To evaluate the frequency of bone marrow involvement by nasal-type NK/T cell lymphoma, we retrospectively studied biopsy specimens from 40 patients by EBV in situ hybridization (ISH). Three patients had marrow involvement at initial diagnosis (7.5%). In one patient (1/40, 2.5%), the disease in bone marrow was recognized by routine morphological assessment, while two other patients had minimal i...

Primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) is the most common type of extranodal that originates from lymphatic tissue within submucosa. In past two decades, treatment PGL has been overturned surgery to non-surgical individualized treatment, and its prognosis are different those other malignant lesions in stomach, so early diagnosis, accurate staging, timely monitoring outcome extremely important. Unlike i...

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma is a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, arising in the mediastinum from putative thymic B-cell origin with distinctive clinical and genetic features. Generally, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma is believed as only deriving in the mediastinum. The current study presents a rare case of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma which arisin...

A colonic mucosa-associated lymphoid-tissue (MALT) lymphoma is relatively rare compared to lymphomas of the stomach or small intestine. We present a case of a MALT lymphoma in the cecum and rectum found during screening colonoscopy. A 54-year-old female, who had undergone right-breast-conserving surgery with axillary dissection due to an invasive ductal carcinoma and a left-breast excisional bi...
