BACKGROUND
Lymphomatoid granulomatosis [LYG] is an angiocentric, angiodestructive disease at the higher grade end of the spectrum of angiocentric immunoproliferative lesions. It primarily involves the lungs, but it may also involve several extrapulmonary sites including the central nervous system
Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) in renal transplant recipients is rare multisystemic angiocentric lymphoproliferative disorder with significant malignant potential. Here, we describe LYG in a 70-year-old renal allograft recipient who, 4 years after transplantation, on tacrolimus and mycophenolate
Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) is an angiocentric, angiodestructive lymphoreticular proliferative disease that usually affects the lungs but it has been speculated to also effect the central nervous system (CNS). However, unique primary LYG of the CNS has rarely been reported in the literature.
A 33-year-old woman presented to the emergency room with severe headaches. A CT scan of the head revealed two brain lesions with associated vasogenic oedema. Diagnostic resection of one of the lesions followed by pathological analysis revealed grade III lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG). Staging
Angiocentric lymph proliferative disorder (ALPD) is a granulomatous lymphoproliferative condition associated with various primary and secondary immunodeficiency states. ALPD is so rare that its prevalence has not been established. Typically affecting middle-aged adults, this condition is often found
A Nigerian man had acute onset of headache and vertigo due to a cerebellar mass. A brain biopsy of the mass revealed toxoplasmosis despite repeated negative HIV-1 serology. The presence of an opportunistic infection and his country of origin raised the suspicion for HIV-2; this was confirmed by
History In November 2012, a previously healthy 31-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a 2-month history of right-sided numbness, diplopia, and intermittent nausea and dizziness. She did not have a history of fever, weight loss, headache, photophobia, seizure, or extremity weakness.
Central nervous system manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus are reported in 25 to 60 p. cent of cases and include mental disturbances, epilepsy, focal deficits, and headache. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) changes are inconstantly observed. Cerebral scintigraphy may be useful. CT Scan imaging
We reported a case of X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP) with multiple nodular lesions in the brain and lungs. A 21-year-old man was admitted because of one month history of low grade fever, headache, nausea, and amnesia. He developed agammaglobulinemia following Epstein-Barr virus
BACKGROUND
Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) constitute a rare group of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs).
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical and immunophenotypic profile of patients with a PCNSL who presented between the years 2000 and 2013 in a tertiary care center in South
