Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is very uncommon in infancy and skin as the primary site of involvement in Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is rarely encountered. We describe a 10-month-old infant with T-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma who presented with multiple skin nodules as the predominant feature of her disease. The clinical manifestations, treatment strategy and disease outcome are reviewed. Key words: Non-Hodgk...

Sir: Lymphoma of the urinary bladder is a rare tumour, accounting for less than 1% of malignant bladder lesions. It may occur as a disease localized to the bladder (primary bladder lymphoma), as the site of first evidence of a disseminated disease (non-localized bladder lymphoma), or as a secondary involvement in patients with a previously diagnosed lymphoma (secondary bladder lymphoma). Most l...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the role of flow cytometric immunophenotyping (FCI) in diagnosis and characterization of lymphoma tissue specimens from Egyptian patients. METHODS FCI using 2 and 3 color staining approaches, was performed on 50 fresh lymph nodes specimen from Cairo NCI patients with suspected lymphoma presenting with either localized or generalized lymphadenopathy.FCI results were corr...

non-hodgkin's lymphoma is the 3rd most common cancers in children. in the present study, to determine pathological and clinical features of this cancer, we reviewed records of 84 cases of non-hodgkin's lymphoma who were admitted to ali asghar and bahrami children hospitals from 1989 to 1996. 59% of cases had small non-cleaved cell (sncc) subtype of disease. 15% were lymphoblastic and ...

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. ...

burkitt’s lymphoma is one of the most hematologic malignancies that involve the central nervous system. our patient had a rare presenting symptom of lymphoma during pregnancy. it is reasonable to search for burkitt’s lymphoma in every patient with abdominal mass and neurologic symptom. involvement of cranial nerves especially abducens are among this neurologic complications but are rare as pres...

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 ...

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...

Cases of low-grade B-cell lymphoma presenting primarily in the bone marrow are rare, and its clinicopathology remains unclear. We retrospectively examined patients with low-grade B-cell lymphoma presenting primarily in the bone marrow. Fourteen patients met the inclusion criteria, including 5 with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL), 3 with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, ...

Proton therapy (PT) is a highly conformal type of radiation therapy that can target the tumor while sparing dose to surrounding normal tissues. This study reviews a single institution's experience managing patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) treated with PT. Eleven patients with NHL were treated with PT from January 2008 to January 2014 on an institutional review board-approved outcomes tr...
