Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is primarily performed for lymphedema of the lower extremities after surgical treatment of gynecologic cancer and lymphedema of the upper extremities after surgical resection of breast cancer; however, LVA for lymphedema due to malignant lymphoma has not been reported to date. We herein present a patient with severe lymphedema of the lower extremities due to r...

Burkitt's lymphoma is a malignant endemic neoplasia with a mandibular localization, described for the first time in 1958, in African children. The World Health Organization classification recognises several variants of Burkitt's lymphoma; all are highly malignant B cell lymphomas. Besides Burkitt's sporadic, endemic lymphoma and Burkitt's lymphoma associated with AIDS, the World Health Organiza...

Primary malignant lymphoma of the female genital tract, a rare form of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), can occur in the ovary, uterine corpus, cervix, vagina, and vulva. The ovary is the most frequent site for NHL involvement of the gynecological tract (Vang et al., 2001). Primary malignant lymphoma of the cervix is a rare disease. The incidence is unknown. In 1974, Chorlton et al. rep...

Follicular lymphoma is a low grade malignant lymphoma. However, some follicular lymphomas undergo histological transformation into higher grade malignant lymphomas. We recently encountered a diffuse large cell lymphoma which seemed to have progressed from a follicular lymphoma and which finally transformed into a small non-cleaved lymphoma. Each stage of the histological transformation was acco...

The majority of malignant tumors of the stomach are carcinomas. It has been reported in the literature that lymphomas consist of 1%-5% of all malignant tumors of the stomach (1). The simultaneous coexistence of adenocarcinoma and malignant lymphoma of the stomach is extremely rare (1-5). Gastric carcinoma and primary gastric lymphoma have shown to be related to Helicobacter pylori infection (3)...

background: fine-needle aspiration cytology (fnac) is used for diagnosis of intraocular, orbital and eyelid lesions. in this study we evaluated the outcome and the accuracy of using this technique in diagnosis of benign or malignant behavior of lesions.   methods: fnac was performed on 26 specimens obtained from 25 patients with intraocular, orbital and eyelid tumors and the results were compar...

for approximately 3% of primary malignant bone tumors and for 5% of extranodal lymphoma (1). In the majority of cases, the tumor involves the extremities and less frequently the axial skeleton. Disseminated malignant lymphoma is extremely rare, representing 0.8% of malignant non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma(NHL) (2). Here, we encountered primary NHL of bone involving the skull, spine, both upper and lowe...
