Human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 related adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma presenting as a parotid mass diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy

DIAGNOSTIC CYTOPATHOLOGY, Issue 5 2004
Guo-Xia Tong M.D., Ph.D.
Abstract A 48-yr-old black woman with a history of blood transfusions for menorrhagia secondary to uterine fibroids but no known Caribbean association presented with a 6-wk history of a rapidly enlarging right parotid mass. At the time of presentation, she could not close her right eye. An aspiration biopsy showed small, medium, and large lymphoma cells with angulated nuclei, red macronucleoli, and basophilic cytoplasm with fine vacuoles. Flow cytometry indicated a (CD25+/CD7,) T-cell lineage, suggesting an human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) 1-related T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, which was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based amplification on DNA extracted from fresh tissue with specific oligonucleotide primers for HTLV-1 DNA sequence. Histology showed interstitial infiltration and destruction of the parotid parenchyma by lymphoma cells without involvement of adjacent lymph nodes. Total body CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies were negative for lymphadenopathy but showed liver metastasis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of HTLV-1-related primary parotid lymphoma as the initial presentation of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. Diagn.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma presenting as myelofibrosis with the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor

GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, Issue 4 2009

Myelofibrosis is often observed in chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD), but non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with diffuse myelofibrosis is rare. We describe an elderly case with peripheral T-cell lymphoma-unspecified (PTCL) presenting as diffuse myelofibrosis. Bone marrow biopsy revealed infiltration of atypical lymphocytes and diffuse myelofibrosis without any increase in megakaryocytes. To discuss the pathogenesis of fibrosis, we examined cytokines relative to fibrosis using immunostaining. The expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was diffusely detected in the area of extracellular matrix of bone marrow. In addition, in situ hybridization revealed that infiltrating lymphoma cells expressed bFGF mRNA. Basic FGF, originally identified based on its mitogenicity for fibroblasts, has multiple potential, influencing neoangiogenesis, bone marrow fibrosis and the proliferation of tumor cells. Basic FGF might play an important role in the pathogenesis of myelofibrosis in the present case. [source]

T-Cell lymphoblastic lymphoma presenting as bilateral multinodular breast masses: A case report and review of the literature

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HEMATOLOGY, Issue 3 2005
Efsevia Vakiani
Abstract Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of T-cell lineage involving the breast is rare. We report on a 41-year-old woman with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma who presented with multiple bilateral breast masses. The patient was treated with intensive chemotherapy and mediastinal and whole-brain irradiation. She remains in complete remission 24 months after diagnosis. The clinical, histologic, phenotypic, and cytogenetic features are described, with a review of the literature. Am. J. Hematol. 80:216,222, 2005. © 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source]
