BACKGROUND Marginal zone lymphoma is a low-grade, B-cell, non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Bone marrow involvement (BMI) of leukemia or lymphoma can usually be displayed in fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT) with high standardized uptake values (SUV), while diffuse homogeneous ¹⁸F-FDG bone marrow uptake (BMU) in PET/CT primarily reflects hyperplastic bone marrow status. This report is of a 74-year-old man presenting with anemia and a diagnosis of recurrent marginal zone lymphoma with bone marrow involvement identified with 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging and biopsy...

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and there is limited research on its tumor microenvironment (TME). Nevertheless, more and more studies have evidence that TME has essential effects on tumor cell proliferation, immune escape, and drug resistance. Thus, it is critical to elucidate the role of TME in PCNSL. The understanding of the PCNSL TME is gradually unfolding, including factors that distinguish it from systemic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)...

BACKGROUND: Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare condition marked by sterile vegetations on cardiac valves, often linked to rheumatologic diseases, autoimmune disorders, and advanced solid malignancies. An early diagnosis and treatment of the associated clinical condition are mandatory, although they do not usually eliminate valvular vegetations, making anticoagulation essential to prevent embolic events. Despite variability, the prognosis of NBTE is usually unfavorable due to recurrent embolic events and the severity of the primary condition, typically advanced cancer...

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, incurable non-Hodgkin's lymphoma characterized by naive B cells infiltrating the lymphoid follicle's mantle zone. A key feature of MCL is the cytogenetic abnormality t(11;14) (q13:q14), found in 95% of cases, leading to Cyclin D1 overexpression resulting in uncontrolled cell cycle progression and genetic instability. Occasionally, Cyclin D2 or D3 overexpression can substitute for Cyclin D1, causing similar effects. The transcription factor SOX11 is a hallmark of classical Cyclin D1-positive MCL and also in cases without the typical t(11;14) abnormality, making it an important diagnostic marker...

BACKGROUND: Cancer is an important condition associated with the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). The objectives of the BLITZ-AF Cancer study were to collect real-life information on the clinical profile and use of antithrombotic drugs in patients with AF and cancer to improve clinical management, as well as the evaluation of the association between different antithrombotic treatments (or their absence) and the main clinical events. METHODS: European multinational, multicenter, prospective, non-interventional study conducted in patients with AF (electrocardiographically confirmed) and cancer occurring within 3 years...

B-cell non-Hodgkins lymphomas (BCNHLs) are a category of B-cell cancers that show heterogeneity. These blood disorders are derived from different levels of B-cell maturity. Among NHL cases, ∼80-90 % are derived from B-cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) contribute to almost all parts of mechanisms and are essential in tumorigenesis, including B-cell non-Hodgkins lymphomas. The study of ncRNA dysregulations in B-cell lymphoma unravels important mysteries in lymphoma's molecular etiology...

PURPOSE: Therapy-related myeloid neoplasm (t-MN) is a life-threatening complication of autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (aPBSCT) for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Although previous studies have reported an association between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in the infused PBSC product and subsequent post-aPBSCT risk of t-MN in patients with non-HL, information about patients with HL treated with aPBSCT is not available. METHODS: We constructed a retrospective cohort of 321 patients with HL transplanted at a median age of 34 years (range, 18-71)...

OBJECTIVES: To report an autoimmune paraneoplastic encephalitis characterized by immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody targeting synaptic protein calmodulin kinase-like vesicle-associated (CAMKV). METHODS: Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples harboring unclassified antibodies on murine brain-based indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) were screened by human protein microarray. In 5 patients with identical cerebral IFA staining, CAMKV was identified as top-ranking candidate antigen...

Blastoid mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an extremely rare neoplasm with a dismal prognosis. MCL with an initial presentation in the oral cavity has been rarely reported. This report describes a 75-year-old male who presented with an oropharyngeal mass causing dysphonia and intermittent hypoxia. A biopsy and immunophenotyping confirmed MCL, favoring the blastoid variant. Imaging showed a 4.2 cm left oropharyngeal polypoid mass with extensive lymphadenopathy. His prognosis was considered unfavorable with elevated Ki-67 index, blastoid morphology, and p53 positivity of malignant cells...

CAR- CD4+ T cell lymphopenia is an emerging issue following CAR-T cell therapy. We analyzed the determinants of CD4+ T cell recovery and a possible association with survival in 31 consecutive patients treated with commercial CAR-T for diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) or mantle cell lymphoma. Circulating immune subpopulations were characterized through multiparametric-flow cytometry. Six-month cumulative incidence of CAR- CD4+ T cell recovery (≥200 cells/μL) was 0.43 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0...

BACKGROUND: The prognosis for people living with HIV (PLWH) who develop lymphomas has been greatly improved by combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. However, real-world clinical data on this patient group in Asia are limited. METHODS: Treatment outcomes were retrospectively examined for 104 PLWH with lymphomas between 2000 and 2019. The cohort comprised five PLWH with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and 99 with non-Hodgkin lymphomas, including 61 with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 19 with Burkitt lymphoma (BL), nine with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and ten with other subtypes...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of the different types of neoplasms and lineages on mortality of patients with SLE. METHODS: Retrospective and observational comparison of the neoplasm-related deaths in patients with SLE and the general Spanish population reported in the Spanish Hospital Discharge Database. To determine the impact of SLE on the risk of dying from each neoplasm lineage, a binary logistic regression considering age, female sex, tobacco and alcohol consumption, was performed...

AIMS: MNDA (myeloid nuclear differentiation antigen) has been considered as a potential diagnostic marker for marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), but its utility in distinguishing MZL from other B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) and its clinicopathologic relevance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are ambiguous. We comprehensively investigated MNDA expression in a large series of B-NHLs and evaluated its diagnostic value. METHODS: MNDA expression in a cohort of 1293 cases of B-NHLs and 338  cases of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) was determined using immunohistochemistry and compared among different types of B-NHL...

BACKGROUND: This study aims to improve the understanding of lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome, and find effective methods to identify and manage this fatal disease. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome from January 2008 to December 2022 in our center were included. Univariate and multivariate analyses were also conducted using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: Among 26 patients, 22 patients were diagnosed with T/NK cell lymphoma, while 4 patients were diagnosed with diffuse large B cell lymphoma...

Carcinomatous meningitis (CM) is characterized by the multifocal dissemination of malignant cells into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), pia mater, and subarachnoid space. Involvement can occur in the advanced stage of malignancy, causing multifocal involvement and a wide array of symptoms. Diagnosis requires suspicions and a multimodal approach that includes imaging, lumbar puncture, and diagnostic laboratory evaluation. This case represents a female with a history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and venous thromboembolism on chronic anticoagulation who presented due to acute encephalopathy, hallucinations, and right cranial nerve III palsy for 10 days before arrival...

We present a rare case of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) secondary to nasal-type extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL). Nasal-type ENKL is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma usually associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The patient was a 19-year-old woman who presented with facial numbness, diminished hearing, and dysgeusia. She was febrile with palatal necrosis, loss of gag reflex, and cranial nerve palsies. Labs revealed neutropenia. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials, including amphotericin, were started...

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a neoplasm of the lymphoid tissue and one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide. Classically, these patients present with unregulated B-cell differentiation causing fever, chills, night sweats, and weight loss. Although more common in children, in sporadic Burkitt lymphoma, symptoms often can be present in the abdomen. These patients also additionally report nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distention, which in rare instances can cause small bowel obstruction (SBO). Early detection and the initiation of chemotherapy remain highly effective in providing adequate care...

Numerous neoplastic, viral, hematological, or metabolic conditions that affect the bone marrow might result in secondary myelofibrosis. The bone marrow aspirate results in a dry tap and bone marrow biopsy reveals significant fibrosis replacing the normal hematopoietic cells. This is an intriguing example where a bone marrow aspirate showed a dry tap, and subsequent examination revealed a peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL). PTCLs are an aggressive group of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They often present as peripheral lymphadenopathy...

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an incurable and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma. Increased lipid uptake, storage, and lipogenesis occur in a variety of cancers and contribute to rapid tumor growth. However, no data has been explored for the roles of lipid metabolism reprogramming in MCL. Here, we identified aberrant lipid metabolism reprogramming and PRMT5 as a key regulator of cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism reprogramming in MCL patients. High PRMT5 expression predicts adverse outcome prognosis in 105 patients with MCL and GEO database (GSE93291)...
