intravascular large b-cell lymphoma (ivlbcl) is a rare and aggressive subtype of systemic extranodal non-hodgkin diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (dlbcl). we report a rare case of ivlbcl who showed diffuse 18f-fluorodeoxyglucose (fdg) uptake in the lung in fdg-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (pet/ct) without respiratory symptoms or chest ct abnormalities. serum biochemical studies...

introduction: primary gastric lymphoma (pgl) is a rare tumor, whose differential diagnosis may become complicated without precise immunohistochemistry (ihc) and genetic analysis. case presentation: a 33-year-old woman presented with gastric cancer and had undergone gastrectomy without precise ihc and staging in another center. inappropriate ihc after surgery showed diffuse large b-cell lymphoma...

background plasmablastic lymphoma (pbl) is a relatively new entity, classified by who as a rare variant of diffuse large b cell lymphoma. the present case report introduces a 17 year old girl with chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, intra-abdominal venous thromboses, ascites, mesenteric lymphadenopathies and small intestinal polyposis, the pathologic and immunohistochemistric examinations of the ...

primary hepatic lymphoma is a rare malignancy usually presenting with symptoms of fever, hepatomegaly, jaundice and weight loss. this picture mimics infectious and inflammatory disorders and thus delays the diagnosis. here, we present a 47-year old man with prolonged fever who underwent several investigations and, in the meantime, developed fulminant hepatic failure before the diagnosis could b...

malignant lymphoma may occur in the oral cavity and oropharynx, but is most commonly located in waldeyer's ring, particularly in the palatine and lingual tonsil. the occurrence of malignant lymphoma in the tongue is very rare. clinical features are nonspecific ulcerative lesions that do not heal. in the literature, the majority of cases are non-hodgkin’s lymphoma, diffuse large b cell type; how...

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNA, which can regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. MiRNA profiling has shown a great potential as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. The present study was performed at the Nemazee Teaching Hospital (Shiraz, Iran) from 2011 to 2013.The aim of thi...

primary adrenal lymphoma is extremely rare. we report a case with primary bilateral adrenal lym-phoma in a young male patient. he presented with abdominal pain and weight loss. pathologic study revealed malignant lymphoma, diffuse large cell type (t- cell origin). patient recieved combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy but 22 months after diagnosis died because of progression of dis ease
