Primary gastric Hodgkin lymphoma and metachronous early gastric carcinoma: a case report

Primary Gastric Hodgkin lymphoma is seen very rarely. Primary gastric Hodgkin lymphoma and gastric carcinoma in same patient is very very rare entity. Almost all of the primary gastric lymphoma cases are non-Hodgkin lymphoma type. We report the case of 45-year-old man with 3-month history of abdominal pain and weight loss. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination revealed an ulcerated polypoid mass on greater curve of stomach and histopathological examination of biopsy showed adenocarcinoma. After near total gastrectomy, gastric Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis was made, and postoperative 4 courses of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine (ABVD) regimen were administered, and then total 3,600 cGy radiotherapy was delivered. After 7 years, during control examination, early gastric carcinoma was diagnosed. Our case is very rare entity of gastric Hodgkin lymphoma and metachronous gastric carcinoma. This case also shows the importance of follow-up of patients not only for the relapse of primary disease but also for the development of secondary malignancy which can be diagnosed at early curable stage.

     

Primary gastric Hodgkin's lymphoma: a case report and review of the literature

Primary gastric Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rarely encountered lesion. Most cases are observed in the course of systemic disease. Other cases have been reclassified in retrospective studies as non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, after the employment of immunohistochemistry. Some Hodgkin's lymphomas may masquerade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and vice versa. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis is important, as treatment and outcome differ significantly for these entities. We report a case of primary Hodgkin's lymphoma arising in the stomach of a 46-year-old male, and discuss the diagnostic approach as well as the differentials of Hodgkin's disease in this anatomic site.

Follicular T-cell lymphoma mimicking lymphocyte-rich classic Hodgkin lymphoma: a case report of a diagnostic pitfall

Follicular T-cell lymphoma (FTCL), one of the nodal T-cell lymphomas with T follicular helper (T_^FH) phenotype, is an uncommon disease. The diagnosis of FTCL is challenging on the distinction from the morphological mimics mostly exemplified by follicular lymphoma. Here, we described a case of FTCL that mimicked lymphocyte-rich classic Hodgkin lymphoma (LRCHL). A 47-year-old male presented with cervical lymphadenopathy. The biopsy specimen demonstrated nodular lymphoid proliferation, which included scattered CD30+ CD15- CD20- PAX5 weakly+ Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS)-like cells and a rich distribution of CD3+ CD4+ PD1+ T-cells. Epstein Barr virus was not detected in HRS-like cells, but it was detected in a small proportion of the scattered lymphocytes. The large cells were also negative for programmed cell death ligand 1, which appeared to be coincidental as described in our previous report of LRCHL. However, flow cytometry showed a CD3- CD4+ T-cell population that constituted 37.4% of all gated lymphocytes. A PCR analysis showed a clonal T-cell receptor-gamma gene rearrangement, but not a clonal immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement, and showed RHOA G17V mutation. The constellation of these findings led us to revise the diagnosis to FTCL. This result indicated that our case belonged to a relatively indolent subgroup of nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma of T_^FH phenotype, which affects patients ≤60 years old, recently proposed by our group. This case report expands our understanding of the morphologic spectrum of FTCL and its clinicopathologic significance.     

Primary lymphoma of Meckel diverticulum: a case report

A case of a primary lymphoma of Meckel's diverticulum in a 6-year-old Iraqi boy presenting clinically as acute appendicitis is reported. Exploration revealed a ruptured gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum with an ileo-ileal intussusception at the diverticulum origin. A fairly comprehensive search through the English language literature has failed to reveal any other report of a primary lymphoma of Meckel's diverticulum leading to acute intestinal obstruction.     

Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma and invasive ductal carcinoma in the same breast: a rare case report

Primary lymphoma of the breast is an unusual clinical entity. The coexistence in the same breast of an invasive ductal carcinoma is even rarer. We report a 69-year-old woman referred for further evaluation of a palpable mass in her right breast. She was diagnosed and treated for simultaneous primary lymphoma and invasive ductal carcinoma. Primary breast lymphoma should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of breast masses. The presence of both malignancies presents a challenge in treatment decisions.

Primary T-cell lymphoma of the breast: a case report

Primary nonHodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) occurs in both nodal and extranodal sites. Lymphoma arising in mammary tissue is rare. The majority are of B-cell origin, while a few case studies of T-cell lymphomas of the breast have been reported. The clinical and histologic features of a 74-year-old female diagnosed with T-cell mammary lymphoma are reported, as well as her treatment course and follow-up. A literature review is included. We conclude primary low-grade T cell lymphoma of the breast can be treated with conservative surgery followed by involved field radiation therapy.

Primary intramedullary spinal cord lymphoma: report of a case

A case of primary intramedullary spinal cord malignant lymphoma is described. The patient was a 24-year-old female with a preceding history of a lupus-erythematosus-like disorder. The presenting symptom of the spinal cord tumor was spastic paresis of the lower extremities. Radiological examinations including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spinal cord revealed an intramedullary tumor from levels C2 to T6. A decompressive laminectomy was performed with the pathological diagnosis of poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma with T-cell surface marker. Postoperative cerebrospinal radiation up to 40.5 Gy was performed. The patient is alive without disease 18 months after completion of the therapy. MRI proved to be a very useful method for evaluation of the response to therapy and for follow-up. Primary involvement of the spinal cord with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is unusual and this is the ninth case of primary intramedullary spinal cord lymphoma reported.     

Ovarian transposition and metachronous ovarian metastasis in a premenopausal colorectal carcinoma patient: a case report

Colon cancer has a high incidence of metastasis, with an estimated 0.8–7.4% of colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) cases metastasizing to the ovary. The role of prophylactic bilateral oophorectomy in CRC is contested in the literature, particularly in premenopausal patients. Further, it is unclear if prophylactic removal of the contralateral ovary is indicated in cases of direct involvement of one ovary to reduce recurrence. Facing a lack of evidence for survival benefit, hormonal complications, and sterilization, some choose to pursue fertility sparing options. For female patients interested in additional pregnancies, the ovaries can be surgically relocated in a prophylactic procedure known as ovarian transposition; as even small doses of radiation to the ovary can effectively sterilize women in their 30 s. We present a case of a 29-year-old female who underwent ovarian transposition of the right ovary before initiating chemoradiation for primary left sided colon adenocarcinoma with direct invasion of the left ovary. Months later, she presented to the emergency department (ED) with abdominal pain suspicious for ovarian torsion. On restaging computerized tomography (CT), she was diagnosed with symptomatic right ovarian metastasis in the transposed ovary, requiring reoperation and oophorectomy. For this patient, and for others facing critical decisions about ovarian preservation in advanced colorectal cancer, the question remains how to balance fertility concerns with optimal minimization of metastasis and recurrence.

Central nervous system Hodgkin lymphoma: case report and review of the literature

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement by Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is extremely rare, accounting for 0.5% or less of HL cases. In contrast, CNS involvement can occur in 5–30% of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. CNS HL can present at any point in the course of HL, most commonly during relapsing disease, and has been described in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. We describe a case of HL affecting the CNS and bone marrow on initial presentation in a 79-year-old immunocompetent female with a prior history of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and adenocarcinoma of the lung. Following the case report, a review of the literature on CNS HL is presented.     

Primary amyloidosis associated with early gastric carcinoma(IIb like IIa type) diagnosed by preoperative gastric biopsy--a case report

A case of primary amyloidosis associated with intramucosal adenocarcinoma of the stomach, diagnosed by preoperative biopsy, is reported. A 77-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with complaints of vertigo and general fatigue. X-ray and endoscopic examination revealed a IIb-like IIa type protruded lesion on the cardia of the stomach. A biopsy specimen from the protruded lesion disclosed well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma and amyloid deposition. Partial gastrectomy was performed on August, 18, 1981. Upon histological study, a diagnosis of primary amyloidosis associated with intramucosal well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma was made. We suggest that the histogenesis of this gastric carcinoma was related to the gastric lesion due to primary amyloidosis. Careful review of the Japanese literature disclosed that ours is the first case report of primary amyloidosis associated with early gastric carcinoma diagnosed by pre-operative gastric biopsy.     

原发性心脏淋巴瘤一例并文献复习(英文)

Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is an extremely rare neoplasm and usually defined as a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma being exclusively located in the heart and/or the pericardium. It is particularly difficult to diagnose this rare disease due to its nonspecific clinical manifestations. The prognosis of this disease is poor. In this diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the patient finally died of heart failure after 2 courses of chemotherapy with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone).     

HER2 positive bilateral metachronous primary breast carcinoma: A case report

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive is a unique molecular subtype of breast cancer (BC) characterized by high malignancy and poor prognosis. Bilateral primary breast cancer (BPBC) harboring HER2 gene amplification is available to be detected among the BC survivors due to the increasing use of anti-HER2 adjuvant therapy. However, owing to the paucity of cases reported, knowledge of treating HER2-positive BPBC patients including the clinical behavior, histopathologic characteristics, anti-HER2 therapeutic response and disease outcome are not fully understood. Here we report a case of its kind receiving nonstandardized treatment during adjuvant stage. Upon tumor recurrence with liver metastasis, she received trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy and reached a PFS of 14.5 months in first-line treatment. While maintained trastuzumab plus carboplatin as second-line treatment progressed promptly, re-treatment of trastuzumab after lapatinib administration in third line can still benefit the patient. The present case report delineates an anti-HER2 path for a particular characterized patient, and also provides new evidence of trastuzumab re-usage after disease progression of prior anti-HER2 therapy.
