Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of large multilobated cell type. A clinicopathologic study of ten cases

American Journal of Clinical Pathology

Abstract

Recently, the authors described a distinct variant of T-cell lymphoma characterized morphologically by large multilobated nuclei, and clinically by a predilection for extranodal sites and a favorable prognosis. In a retrospective study of 75 cases of "histiocytic" lymphomas observed during a 13-year period, ten additional cases of this unusual variant of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were identified. Features similar to those of the initial group of cases included a predominant extranodal distribution, particularly involving skin, subcutaneous tissue, and bone, and a favorable response to therapy. However, the retrospective cases differed in that systemic symptoms were infrequent and gonadal involvement was not observed. Recognition of this morphologically distinct subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is of diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic significance.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
