True histiocytic lymphoma: is it an entity?

Leukemia
M T Elghetany

Abstract

Monocytes and macrophages are closely related in origin, structure and function. True histiocytic lymphoma is a neoplasm of phagocytic histiocytes and is treated as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Tissue involvement with myeloid leukemia, including monocytic leukemia, is called extramedullary myeloid cell tumor or granulocytic sarcoma and treated with antileukemic chemotherapy. Differentiating true histiocytic lymphoma from tissue involvement with monocytic leukemia is a rather impossible task using available morphologic, cytochemical, immunocytochemical and molecular methods. The two entities need to be unified probably more appropriately as extramedullary myeloid cell tumor of monocytic origin, and should therefore be treated as such.

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.

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.
