Primary malignant lymphoma of lung is a very rare disease, only 0.34% of all malignant lymphomas. In our case, a 76 year old male patient had a solitary mass without lympha- denopathy at chest CT scan. He underwent right middle lobectomy through a posterolateral thoracotomy incision. Pathologic study confirmed a diagnosis of malignant lymphoma and chemotherapy was started by an oncologist.

Malignant lymphoma of the sinus is very rare but potentially radiocurable neoplasm. The disease is tend to be localized to the sinus and spread to adjacent local structures on initial presentation, and change to generalized lymphoma is uncommon. Most of sinus lymphoma is diffuse histiocytic type. Radiotherapy to the primary and neck nodes is the treatment of choice, and a survival rate of $50-70\%$ can be expected.

Objectives : Spinal cord compression is a rare presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL), occurring in 0.1% to 10.2% of patients. Primary spinal extradural NHL, i.e. occurring in the absence of any detectable extraspinal lymphoproliferative disorder, has a potentially favourable outcome if diagnosed and treated early. The authors describe two patients with a clinical picture of acute spinal cord compression as the first presentation of NHL. Methods : The patients were 48-year-old female and 27-year-old female. Both presented with back pain followed by acute paraparesis and voiding difficulty. One patient was diabetic. Plain radiographs of the spine were not specific. Thoracic spine magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) revealed evidence of extradural soft tissue mass extending multiple vertebral segments. Results : The patients underwent emergency laminectomy for decompression and tissue diagnosis. Histological and immunohistochemical study revealed B-cell lymphoma, intermediate grade in both patients. Postoperative staging did not reveal any additional lesions other than extradural manifestation of the malignant lymphoma. Surgery with additional chemotherapy and radiotherapy allowed the clinical improvement of both patients. Conclusion : The authors report two patients with a clinical picture of acute spinal cord compression as the first presentation of NHL, and stress that primary spinal epidural NHL should be a diagnostic consideration in the patient without prior history of malignancy who presents with a prodrome of back pain followed by a rapid neurological deterioration.

The purpose of this paper is to review the literature concerning the occurence of malignant lymphoma of the larynx and to add a case. Mackenty was the first to report a case of malignant lymphoma involving the larynx, 1934. After then 28 cases were reported of which 8 were described as primary in the larynx. Yet no case was reported in our nation. We experienced a case of primary malignant lymphoma of the larynx in 10 years old male and report with consideration of literature concerning the same disease.

Primary spinal epidural lymphoma(SEL), i.e. occurring in the absence of any detectable extraspinal lymphoproliferative disorder, is an unusual cause of spinal cord compression. The authors report a 48-year-old, diabetic woman presented with back pain followed by acute paraparesis and voiding difficulty. She had been treated with acupunctures on her back before admission, and complete blood count showed leukocytosis with neutrophilia and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR). Thoracic spine magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) revealed an epidural mass extending from T5 to T8 with compression of the spinal cord. Emergency decompressive laminectomy was performed with a tentative diagnosis of spinal epidural abscess, but a B-cell lymphoma was final pathologic diagnosis. Further staging showed no other sites of lymphoma, and the spinal lesion was treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The authors stress that primary SEL can mimic spinal epidural abscess(SEA) in the diabetic patient and should be a diagnostic consideration in patients with a syndrome of acute spinal cord compression manifested by a prodrome of back pain and neuroimaging consistent with an epidural compressive lesion, especially in a diabetic.

Hemangiolymphangioma is a malformation of both lymphatic and blood vessels. While a hemangiolymphangioma is a benign lesion, its propensity to invade underlying tissues and to recur locally distinguishes it from the simple lymphangioma or hemangioma. Hemangiolymphangiomas are uncommon developmental anomalies and intraosseous hemangiolymphangioma of the mandible is a relatively rare condition: when it occurs, the clinical and radiographic presentation are often nonspecific. The author presents a case of hemangiolymphangioma in mandible.

원발성 심장 림프종은 드문 질환으로 원발성 심장종양의 1.3%를 차지하며 절외성 림프종의 0.5%에서 발생한다. 그러나 악성 림프종에 의한 이차성 심장 전이는 비교적 빈번해서 약 8.7-27.2%로 보고 되고 있다. 66세남자 환자는 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원하였다. 경흉부 심초음파에서 우심방내에 종괴가 관찰되었다. 종양의 수술적 제거를 시행하였고 조직학적 검사에서 우심방을 침범한 악성 임파종으로 진단되었다. 환자는 급성 종격동염이 발생하였고 술후 9일째 패혈증과 수술부위 출혈로 사망하였다.

65마리 개의 자연 발생된 종양 샘플에서 apoptosis의 수준을 알아보고자 본 실험을 실행하였다. 65 증예는 골육종 23예, 임파종 11예, 다른 형의 육종 11예, 상피종 13예, 기타 종양 7예로 구성되었다. 대분의 종양에서 다양한 범위의 apoptosis 백분율을 나타내었다. 80% 이상의 수준은 apoptosis가 전체의 55.4%(35 예)로 가장 높은 수준을 보였고, 20-39%의 수준을 보인 것은 전체의 7.7%(5 예)로 가장 낮은 수준을 보였다. 60-79%, 40-59% 및 20% 미만은 같은 수준인 12.3%(8 예)를 나타냈다. 특히 상피종에서 대부분의 증예가 69.2%) 80% 가 넘는 apoptosis를 나타내었다. 각 종류별 종양에서 평균 apoptosis의 백분율은 골육종, 임파종, 다른 형의 육종, 상피종 및 기타 종양에서 각각 72.7%, 61.4%, 71.1%, 74.8% 및 79.7% 이었다.
