lymphoproliferative disorders/edema

The diagnosis of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8)-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) is challenging because of the rarity and extended spectrum of each entity. A 43-year-old, human immunodeficiency virus seropositive, Japanese man was referred to our department because of persistent fever,

We report a case of the extremely rare condition Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) which occurred after umbilical cord blood transplantation. A 25-year-old Japanese man underwent cord blood transplantation from a male human leukocyte antigen 4/6-matched donor

OBJECTIVE. Primary CNS posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) may present as multiple contrast-enhancing intraaxial lesions, often with central necrosis and surrounding edema. This imaging appearance is similar to the pattern seen in brain metastases. The purpose of this study was

59-year-old man with a history of mycosis fungoides developed loss of visual acuity and visual field in the left eye. Epiretinal lesions were present in the right eye and multifocal choroidal lesions, optic disc edema, and vitritis were present in the left eye. A diagnostic vitrectomy was performed

The syndrome of acquired angioneurotic edema (AAE) is characterized by the adult onset of angioedema, the lack of evidence for inheritance of the disorder, and the frequent association of the C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency with lymphoproliferative or other malignant diseases. Recently, a new type

A 31-year-old male, who had received a cadaveric renal allograft in April 2003, consulted a clinic for a transient hemiplegia in August 2004. At that time, a course observation without medication was chosen. In October 2004, he was admitted to our hospital by ambulance with a clonic seizure and a

Definitive diagnosis of cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders is one of the most challenging issues in dermatopathology owing to the broad spectrum of clinical and histopathological presentations. We report a case of a 73-year-old woman who presented with a single, asymptomatic plaque limited to

A 71-year-old woman was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2002. Treatment was started with methotrexate and she was switched to adalimumab in 2006. In May 2008, she started complaining of swelling of the left axilla and the left elbow lymph nodes, and adalimumab was discontinued in December.

Two patients presented with anasarca, fevers and sweats. Subsequent evaluation revealed aggressive lymphoproliferative disease. Both patients were treated with CHOP chemotherapy. One patient responded with spontaneous, vigorous diuresis and complete resolution of the edema. She relapsed two months

Background: Hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder (HVLPD) encompasses a rare group of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoproliferative diseases. Objective:

BACKGROUND Vascular transformation of lymph node sinuses (VTLS) is a rare disorder characterized by transformation of lymph node sinuses into endothelium-lined capillary-like channels. This phenomenon was originally discovered by accident whilst examining regional lymph nodes draining cancer.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated T-cell/natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (EBV-T/NK-LPDs) accompany severe chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV) or comprise the CAEBV disease entity. The CAEBV disease entity has the common feature of lymphoproliferation of T or NK cells

The 2017 WHO classification includes a new provisional entity of indolent T-lymphoproliferative disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (ITLPD-GIT). We investigated GI involvement of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Eighty-two patients were diagnosed with PTCL during 2007-2017. Eleven patients (13

Intravascular B-cell Lymphoma is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder with a none specific clinical presentation. The association of cutaneous telangiectasia-like lesions and elevated inflammatory markers should be guaranteed a skin biopsy.
