Here we present a case of hypothalamic obesity syndrome as the primary presentation of a toddler found to have CNS B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Cytogenetic studies on diagnostic cerebrospinal fluid revealed MLL gene rearrangement (11q23).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We reported a 27-year-old man with primary testicular Ph-positive B lymphoblastic lymphoma, for which fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) for the Philadelphia chromosome was not performed at the initial hospitalization.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cytologic examination of the asciticfluid showed two distinct populations of neoplastic lymphoid cells, a predominant population of larger cells with fine powdery ("blastic") chromatin, visible to prominent nucleoli and occasional small cytoplasmic vacuoles[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract We describe a young man who presented with neurological signs and symptoms, and with a paraspinal softtissuemass involving the vertebral body at T4.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CONCLUSIONS: Our first nationwide study provided about 80% cure rate with only one case of toxic death in childhood advanced LBL. However, our intensified maintenance therapy could not improve the survival outcome.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Despite the severeclinicalcourse, the patient recovered and was discharged with only residual symptoms. 2017 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. KEYWORDS: Cryptosporidiosis; T-lymphoblastic lymphoma; graft-versus-host disease[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, no progress has been made in this outcome over the past 10 years.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Over the past several decades, there have been strides to increase the efficacy of treatment regimens, resulting in increased survival rates.[en.wikipedia.org]
CASE REPORT: A 12-year-old boy presented with worsening left-sided weakness, nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, and diplopia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed right parietal gyral thickening with faint meningeal contrast enhancement.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Subcutaneousnodules located on the head or neck of infants should raise suspicion for lymphoma and biopsy should be performed in order to rule out malignancy. A prompt diagnosis is imperative when considering the aggressive nature of LBLs.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
METHODS: In this review, we summarize the cases discussed during the workshop, review the pertinent and most recent literature on the respective topics, and provide a few key points that may aid in the workup of patients with B-ALL/LBL.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We describe the case of an infant with primary cutaneous B-cell LBL who was initially diagnosed by a primary care physician with an infectious etiology and consequently treated with topical and oral antibiotics.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology and Pathophysiology Like all non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs), lymphoblastic lymphoma is associated with exposure to radiation or pesticides and congenital or acquired immunosuppression.[emedicine.medscape.com]
PATIENTS AND METHODS: The present retrospective cohort study used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database to identify adult patients (age, 18 years) with LL with data recorded from 2001 to 2012.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Molecular array studies have identified subtypes of the above noted abnormalities that may have distinct prognoses. [4, 5] Epidemiology In the United States, lymphoblastic lymphoma is relatively rare, comprising only 2% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs[emedicine.medscape.com]

Primary testicular lymphoblastic B cell lymphoma is an aggressive disease and it is necessary a multimodal therapy (surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy) to prevent metastasis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A treatment strong enough to kill the majority of malignant cells would also cause serious harm to the patient and likely prevent recovery afterwards. That’s one reason why follicular lymphoma remains incurable.[lymphomasurvival.com]
In the past, physicians commonly utilized radiation in the form of whole-brain radiation for central nervous system prophylaxis, to prevent occurrence and/or recurrence of leukemia in the brain.[en.wikipedia.org]
