introduction: most b-cell malignancies are diagnosed based on morphologic and immunohistochemical criteria. some cases, however, still present a challenge for the pathologist to discriminate between reactive hyperplasia and neoplastic disorders. molecular techniques can be used as a helpful diagnostic tool in these cases. in this study, we assessed the value of polymerase chain reaction (pcr) t...

background and objectives: classic hodgkin lymphoma (chl), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (alcl) and some cases of diffuse large b cell lymphoma (dlbcl) have overlapping morphologic features. since they all represent distinct clinico-pathologic entities, we explored the differential diagnostic impact of immunophenotyping to discriminate between them. materials and methods: we included 61 cases ...

Extranodal natural killer cell (NK) T lymphoma (ENKL) is a rare type of non Hodgkins lymphoma, accounting for 5% 10% total NHL cases.

Somatostatin receptors have been demonstrated on normal as well as activated human lymphocytes in the circulation and within the reticuloendothelial system such as Peyer's patches and the spleen [1]. Also, lymphocyte function such as proliferation and immunoglobulin synthesis has been showed to be affected by somatostatin [2]. Following the demonstration of the presence of high-density somatost...

Collectively, these cell types non hodgkins lymphoma symptoms of form the reticuloendothelial system and circulate in the vessels of the lymphatic system. Traditionally, Lymphoma is classified lymphoma cancer as Hodgkin's lymphoma, disc...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the seeming excess of childhood leukaemia and lymphoma identified in Seascale, Cumbria, UK, remains unusual when put into a wider context. DESIGN Analysis of cancer incidence by geographical area.

Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is a rare subtype of non- Hodgkins which represents less than 1% all masses. clinical presentation PRL usually non-specific makes it significance. Accurate and early identification treatment are imperative to achieve improved outcomes. In this paper, we present case primary discusspathophysiology, presentation, imaging characteristics, management, prognosis.
