Clonal chromosome abnormalities were found in 89 (97%) of 92 patients with non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma including immunologically determined 34 B- and 25 T-lymphomas; only 3 of 19 T-lymphoma patients examined had serum adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma-associated antigen antibody. Association of 8q24 translocations with small non-cleaved cell (P less than 0.01) and that of t(14;18) (q32;q21) w...

Background: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHLs) is known as a heterogeneous group of malignant lymphoproliferative disorders. NHLs are classified into B cell and T cell types. Immunophenotypical assessment of the biopsy specimens can help diagnose NHLs.    Methods: In this study, 77 patients with B cell and T cell lymphoma were selected from Shahid Sadoghi hospital during 2010 to 2...

To study the characteristics and histogenesis of the malignant lymphomas derived from the gastrointestinal mucosa, histologic and immunohistochemical analyses were performed on a series of 28 malignant lymphomas of the gastrointestinal tract. By cytomorphologic classification, there were two small lymphocytic lymphomas, one small cleaved cell lymphoma, two mixed small cleaved and large cell lym...

Excessive apoptosis of intervertebral disk cells and degeneration (IDD) is the prime cause low back pain. B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) adenovirus E1B 19 kDa interacting protein 3 (BNIP3), a member Bcl-2 family, are involved in cell autophagy apoptosis. The roles mechanisms BNIP3 unclear. In this study, primary rat were prepared to study effect overexpression on their counting kit (CCK)-8 assay sho...

background and objectives: epstein barr virus (ebv) is one of the members of herpesviridae family and a sub-category of gamma herpes virinae. ebv, which normally has cr2 or cd21 receptors on b-lymphocytes, has mutagenic features for them. the virus plays an important role in causing some malignant cancers. about 30% of the cases with non-hodgkin’s lymphoma are diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (dlb...

Amongst follicular lymphoma that transforms into a high-grade lymphoma, majority are diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Here we reported a rare atypical Burkitt's lymphoma transformation from an asymptomatic follicular lymphoma. Lymph node biopsy showed a composite lymphoma with infiltration of the inter-follicular areas by high grade small non-cleaved lymphoma cells amongst neoplastic follicles. M...

primary pancreatic lymphoma is a rare extranodal manifestation of any histopathologic subtype of b cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma that predominantly involves the pancreas. it comprises less than 0.2% of pancreatic malignancies and less than 0.7% of non-hodgkin's lymphomas. this lymphoma is almost never suspected clinically. it is usually diagnosed by surgical exploration for suspected ad...

Abstract Introduction: Extra-nodal exposition of T-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is extremely rare, and is frequently observed in patients with immune system dysfunction. Peripheral T-cell lymphoma does not express CD56 is rare. Malignant lymphoma of the uvula is exceedingly unusual. The current study reported a case of peripheral T-cell lymphoma of the uvula in an immunecompetent patient. ...
