two hundred and ninety cases of non-hodgkin's lymphoma from the fars province cancer registry and mashad university hospital were reviewed and classified according to the new international working formulation for clinical use. the cases fall into low-grade (35 male, 26 female), intermediate-grade (61 male, 26 female), and high-grade (84 male, 26 female) groups. each group includes several ...

Background: The clinical presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) varies tremendously depending upon the type of lymphoma and the areas of involvement. NHL can rarely present as an abdominal mass compressing the inferior vena cava. The clinical presentation due to obstruction of inferior vena cava has often been called the inferior vena cava syndrome (IVCS). It can present acutely or chronica...

Introduction: Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMEC) is a rare primary intraosseous bony lesion. The mandible is more commonly affected than the maxilla. CMEC is frequently misdiagnosed radiographically and clinically as a benign odontogenic tumor or cyst. Case Presentation: We present a rare case with a secondary malignant neoplasm. A male patient was initially diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodg...

Non Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) are nodal or extra nodal monoclonal infiltrations by malignant lymphoid cells (B Lymphocytes in 80% of cases), which are distinguished as indolent or aggressive forms. According to the heterogeneity of lymphoid cells and their ubiquitous anatomical distribution, these disorders can develop in any organ and have very heterogeneous clinical expressions, but they are...

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer in both men and women in the United States. In 2015, it is estimated that there will be 71,850 new cases of NHL (39,850 men and 32,000 women) and 19,790 deaths from NHL. The disease represents approximately 4.3% of all cancer diagnoses (4.7% in males and 4% in females). Notably, incidence rates of NHL almost doubled between ...

BACKGROUND The incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and prevalence of obesity are increasing globally. A suggested positive association between obesity and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma has prompted us to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and risk of malignant lymphoma subtypes in a population-based case-control study. METHODS Telephone interviews were conducted with 3055...

Non-Hodgkin ́s lymphoma is very diverse and includes over 60 specific lymphoma types. They are grouped by their aggressiveness. Some of them grow and spread slowly, and are called indolent lymphomas. These lymphomas are less lifethreatening, but they are much harder to cure definitively. Other lymphomas tend to grow more rapidly and aggressively and spread quickly through the body. They can even...

BACKGROUND Survivors of childhood leukemia and lymphoma experience high risks of second malignant neoplasms. We quantified such risk using a large dataset from 13 population-based cancer registries. METHODS The registries provided individual data on cases of leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma occurring in children aged 0-14 years and on subsequent second malignant neoplasms ...

Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) display unique characteristics that discriminate cHL from other B-cell lymphomas and normal B cells. Therefore, comparative gene expression profiling of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin B cells could lead to the identification of candidate genes that are critical for the pathogenesis of cHL. We performed microarray analysis of Hodgki...
