An 80 year old man presented with a twelve month history of progressive multiple unilateral cranial nerve palsies. A gadolinium enhanced MRI scan of his head and neck was performed. This showed an extra-axial enhancing lesion, which enveloped the hemi-mandible at the level of the left inferior alveolar nerve, and a dumbbell shaped lesion within the cerebellopontine angle. An incisional biopsy w...

The association between Hodgkins Lymphoma (HL) with HIV is common in adults but rare in children. A 5 year old boy, known case of HIV on antiretroviral therapy, presented with prolonged fever, multiple enlarged lymph nodes along with hepatosplenomegaly. A diagnosis of Hodgkins lymphoma was entertained on histopathological examination; further subtyping was done by immunohistochemistry.

Background:Lymphoma is a malignancy that occurs primarily in the lymph nodes. Lymphoma divided into 2 major parts, namely: Non-Hodgkins (LNH) and Hodgkins (LH). About 85% of these malignancies are LNH. Epidemiological studies have found LH rare children under 5 years age relatively adults, but most common cancer among aged 15-19 years. Computed Tomography Scan(CT-Scan) frequently used examinati...

Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) is a high grade Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL) that is characterized histopathologically by a mass of diffuse small non-cleaved B cell lymphocytes [1,2]. It is a highly aggressive lymphoma that frequently presents in extranodal sites with a very high proliferation rate. It is the fastest growing tumour, characterized by explosive growth with a doubling time of 24 hours. BL is...

We have studied the thrombocytopenia of lymphoproliferative disorders using a measurement of membrane-bound IgG by an antiglobulin consumption assay. Nine patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and thrombocytopenia had increased membrane-bound IgG. Two patients with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and 1 patient with Hodgkins disease also had thrombocytopenia and increased membrane-bound IgG. Fi...

BACKGROUND Non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) is a heterogeneous group of malignancies, originating in the lymphatic organs, whose incidence is increasing in developed as well as developing countries. Epidemiological evidence suggests that aspirin may reduce the incidence and mortality of several cancers. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the potential relationship between using aspirin...

Orf virus is a parapoxvirus that infects small ruminants worldwide. We present the case report of a 73-year-old woman with non-Hodgkins lymphoma who developed progressive orf virus lesions that were unresponsive to surgical debridement and to cidofovir therapy. The patient's orf virus infection was successfully treated with topical imiquimod despite progression of her malignancy.
