Intussusception is usually seen in the pediatric age group and rarely seen in adults. It results in the progression of the proximal segment of the intestine into the distal intestine. A 50-year-old immunosuppressive male patient presented with the complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and
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
The combination of ifosfamide, epirubicin and etoposide (IEV) is an effective salvage regimen for lymphoproliferative disease. We report our experience with this combination in mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) in patients with relapsed or refractory/high-risk lymphoma. The median
BACKGROUND
The spectrum of primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disease consists of lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) at one extreme and CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphoma (Ki-1+ lymphoma) presenting in the skin at the other extreme. Methotrexate has been reported to be effective in LyP, but the
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) frequently involves the gastrointestinal tract, but the endoscopic characteristics of this condition have not been discussed in detail. We report two cases of EBV-related PTLD involving rapidly forming
A 43-year-old male renal transplant recipient, who received a living related renal transplant 7 years ago and had been maintained with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and prednisolone, was admitted to our hospital complaining of headache and nausea. MRI showed a large mass in the right
An ectopic pancreas, also known as pancreatic rest or heterotopic pancreas, consists of pancreatic tissue found in a location with no continuity with the anatomic pancreas. This lesion can occasionally cause gastrointestinal obstruction, ulceration or become inflamed and cause ectopic pancreatitis.
A 27-year-old woman with acute lymphocytic leukemia, who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, complained of nausea and blurred vision 288 days after the transplantation. Intracranial tumors were identified on brain MRI. She received whole brain radiation after open biopsy,
OBJECTIVE
Lymphoproliferative disorder is a well-recognized complication of lung transplantation. Risk factors include Epstein-Barr virus infection and immunosuppression. The gastrointestinal manifestations of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in lung transplant recipients have not been
Campath-1H is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeted against the CDw52 membrane antigen of lymphocytes, which causes complement and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Campath-1H has been used in B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), T-prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), and low-grade
Lymphoproliferative disorders associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) include non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and "post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders" (PTLD), which occur with immunosuppression after marrow and organ transplantation. PTLD is characterized by actively
BACKGROUND
Pilot studies showed that alemtuzumab is active in lymphoproliferative disorders. The authors conducted a Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of alemtuzumab in advanced or refractory chronic lymphoproliferative disorders.
METHODS
Seventy-eight patients were enrolled. The
Male patients with the X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP) have an inherited immune deficiency to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection that results in fatal infectious mononucleosis (IM), acquired hypogammaglobulinemia- or agammaglobulinemia, virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome, and
Alemtuzumab (Campath-1H, Ilex Pharmaceuticals, San Antonio, TX) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that recognizes the CD52 antigen expressed on malignant and normal B lymphocytes. It has come to be used therapeutically in B-cell malignancies. Responses are seen in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and
Seventeen patients (aged 50-85 years) with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL, 10 patients) or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL, seven patients) were treated with a combination of fludarabine 25 mg/m2/d and cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m2/d for 3 d repeated every 4 weeks. 12 patients
