Unusual primary location of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the uterine body with compressive form: About case.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Primary non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma (NHML) of the uterine body is an extremely rare localization since only eleven cases have been reported in the literature.

Case presentation

We report a case of primary NHML of the uterine body discovered during a hysterectomy performed for a uterine mass. The primary character of NHML of the uterine body was retained in view of the absence of extra-genital localization in the clinical, biological and radiological workup (Ann Arbor stage IE) and there were no signs of recurrence during follow-up. The patient received anti-CD20 immunochemotherapy (rituximab-CHOP and rituximab-VCAP combinations) and at 12 months follow-up, she is in complete remission.

Discussion

The diagnosis of primary and isolated NHML of the uterine body is based on a clinical and further examination and regular follow-up for several months. The treatment is not codified; surgery, poly-chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the different therapeutic modalities. Rituximab-CHOP immunochemotherapy is currently the reference treatment for primary malignant lymphomas of the uterine body particularly in young patients who wish to become pregnant. The prognosis depends mainly on two factors: age and Ann Arbor stage.

Conclusion

Primary uterine lymphomas are rare tumors of unknown etiopathogeny and of non-specific clinical presentation, the role of the various treatments remains difficult to evaluate due to the small number of published cases.

Multiloculated Cavitary Primary Pulmonary Hodgkin Lymphoma: Case Series.

Project description:Primary pulmonary Hodgkin lymphoma (PPHL) is very rare and typically involves the superior portion of the lung. Pulmonary involvement is observed in 15-40% of Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Three such patients who presented with an unusual form of PPHL in radiological studies, i.e., multiloculated cavitary lesions, were admitted to our hospital. These lesions represent a new pathological and radiological feature of PPHL.

Lifetime risks of second primary malignancies after pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Project description:ObjectivesSurvivors after pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are with lifetime risk for second primary malignancy (SPM). This necessitates a thorough analysis to better understand the potential long-term health implications for these individuals.MethodsWe used a US-wide population-based cancer registry data to quantify the SPM risk and identify its incidence patterns among pediatric lymphoma patients.ResultsWe observed 4.74-fold (95% CI 4.27-5.25) and 3.40-fold (95% CI 2.78-4.10) increased risks of SPM in survivors after pediatric HL and NHL, respectively. Through over 40 years' follow-up, the cumulative incidence of SPM for pediatric lymphoma was persistently increasing, and here we firstly report the high 40-year cumulative incidence rates of SPM, 22.2% for HL and 12.6% for NHL, suggesting that SPM accounts for a great proportion of deaths among survivors. Of 6805 pediatric lymphomas, 462 (6.36%) developed a SPM, especially second breast and thyroid cancer, followed by hematologic neoplasms including leukemia and NHL. The competing risk analysis demonstrated gender, lymphoma subtype and radiotherapy were significantly associated with SPM. Different risk patterns of SPM were identified between pediatric HL and NHL. Chemotherapy accelerated SPM development but did not increase its incidence risk.ConclusionOverall, patients after pediatric lymphoma can be with high lifetime risk of SPM, and more attention should be paid to SPM-related signs for early detection and intervention.

Primary spinal Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma presenting as impending cauda equina syndrome: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionMalignant lymphoma (ML) can involve the central nervous system either primarily or by secondary spread, which tends to occur late in the disease as part of widespread dissemination. Lymphoma presenting as primary tumors of the spinal cord is extremely uncommon. Primary spinal lymphoma if detected early can have a good prognosis with no relapse after effective treatment.Case presentationA 32 years old male patient presented with the symptoms of impending cauda equina syndrome which was managed with surgery and chemotherapy. The patient was successfully treated without the relapse of his condition at his 6 months follow-up scan.Discussion: Primary spinal non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare entity among extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. MRI is usually non-confirmatory and needs immunohistochemistry for the correct diagnosis. R-CHOP regimen is the standard chemotherapy regimen. Surgical decompression is required in cases of impending neurological injury along with radiotherapy.ConclusionPrimary spinal epidural diffuse large B-cell lymphoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with back pain and symptoms of impending cauda equina syndrome. It is important to early detect and treat the disease to prevent permanent neurological injury and metastasis.

Concomitant occurrence of genetically distinct Hodgkin lymphoma and primary mediastinal lymphoma.

Project description:Synchronous Hodgkin Lymphoma and Primary Mediastinal B-cell Lymphoma is possible, with molecular analyses proving the absence of clonal filiation between both entities. This suggests a common etiology but the existence of two divergent clones.

Hodgkin lymphoma.

Project description:Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), a B cell-derived cancer, is one of the most common lymphomas. In HL, the tumor cells--Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells--are usually very rare in the tissue. Although HRS cells are derived from mature B cells, they have largely lost their B cell phenotype and show a very unusual co-expression of markers of various hematopoietic cell types. HRS cells show deregulated activation of multiple signaling pathways and transcription factors. The activation of these pathways and factors is partly mediated through interactions of HRS cells with various other types of cells in the microenvironment, but also through genetic lesions. The transforming events involved in the pathogenesis of HL are only partly understood, but mutations affecting the NF-?B and JAK/STAT pathways are frequent. The dependency of HRS cells on microenvironmental interactions and deregulated signaling pathways may offer novel strategies for targeted therapies.

Orbital Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma and Primary Cutaneous Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Rare Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Project description:A 60-year-old woman was diagnosed with isolated mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the ocular adnexa and treated with two years of weekly rituximab for eight doses followed by rituximab maintenance. After nearly two years of maintenance therapy, she developed a tender, indurated mass on the left neck. Biopsy results were consistent with primary cutaneous classical Hodgkin lymphoma (PCCHL).

Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of kidney and ureter mimicking an upper tract urothelial carcinoma: A case report.

Project description:Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is a rare event, while ureteric involvement by the lymphoma mimicking an UTUC is even rarer. A 30-year-old woman diagnosed for a 6-month history of right flank pain with presumed the UTUC of the right kidney. She underwent radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision, which reveals the infiltrating papillary mass of the ureter from the proximal region towards the ureterovesical junction. Kidney mass was found mostly solid in the parenchymal region, renal hilus was found adherent towards the wall of the inferior vena cava in which it reveals a similar pathology result of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
