아밀로이드증과 비호지킨림프종과의 연관관계는 이전의 연구들에서 보고된 바 있다. 림프종과 아밀로이드증과의 연관관계는 두 개의 구분되는 범주로 나뉘는데 림프종 연관 전신성 아밀로이드증과 종괴 주위 아밀로이드증이다. 저자들은 두경부 MALT 림프종 환자에서 발생한 국소적 종괴 주위 아밀로이드증의 드문 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 전산화단층촬영에서 병변은 연조직음영을 보이는 무정형석회화를 동반한 불규칙한 모양의 종괴였으며, 조영증강 시 불균일한 조영증강을 보였다. 자기공명영상에서는 종괴가 T1 강조영상과 T2 강조영상에서 모두 불균일한 낮은 신호 강도를 보였다. 종괴는 강한 조영증강을 보였으며, 내부에는 여러 개의 조영증강되지 않는 부분들을 포함하고 있었다. 림프종 환자에서 치료 전 영상검사에서 발견된 석회화들은 종괴 주위 아밀로이드증과 같은 동반된 다른 이차성 병변을 시사하는 소견이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Background: Canine malignant lymphoma is classified into B- or T-cell origin, as in the human case. Due to differences in prognosis, a suitable method needs to be developed for lineage identification. Aims: To determine the accuracy of immunophenotypic and molecular information between three methods: immunocytochemistry (ICC), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and heteroduplex polymerase chain reaction for antigen receptor rearrangements (hPARR) in spontaneous canine lymphomas. Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood, fine needle aspiration and tissue biopsies from enlarged peripheral lymph nodes prior to treatment of 28 multicentric lymphoma patients were collected. Cytopathology and histopathology were examined and classified using the updated Kiel and WHO classifications, respectively. Anti-Pax5 and anti-CD3 antibodies as B- and T-cell markers were applied for immunophenotyping by ICC and IHC. Neoplastic lymphocytes from lymph node and white blood cell pellets from peripheral blood were evaluated by hPARR. Results: In this study, low grade B-cell lymphoma accounted for 25% (7/28), high grade B-cell lymphoma for 64.3% (18/28) and high grade T-cell lymphoma for 10.7% (3/28). According to the WHO classification, 50% of all cases were classified as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. In addition, ICC showed concordant results with IHC; all B-cell lymphomas showed Pax5+/CD3, and all T-cell lymphomas exhibited Pax5-/CD3+. In contrast to hPARR, 12 B-cell lymphomas featured the IgH gene; seven presented the $TCR{\gamma}$ gene; five cases showed both IgH and $TCR{\gamma}$ genes, and one case were indeterminate. Three T-cell lymphomas showed the $TCR{\gamma}$ gene. The percentage agreement between hPARR and ICC/IHC was 60%. Conclusions: Immunophenotyping should not rely on a single method. ICC or IHC with hPARR should be used concurrently for immunophenotypic diagnosis in canine lymphomas.

Paraneoplastic hypereosinophilia, characterized by the infiltration of eosinophils into systemic organs, has rarely been reported in dogs with intestinal lymphoma. A 12-year-old spayed female Maltese with eosinophilia in the peripheral blood and ascites was found to have muscular layer thickening in the small intestine. Histologically, there was transmural infiltration of small to intermediate sized neoplastic lymphocytes that were immunohistochemically CD3-/CD79a-. PCR for antigen receptor rearrangement demonstrated clonal T cell receptor gene population. A moderate number of eosinophils were present along with neoplastic lymphocytes in the small intestine, and eosinophil infiltration was also noted in the abdominal lymph nodes and spleen. The present case reports intestinal T-cell lymphoma with generalized paraneoplastic hypereosinophilia. Clinicians should be aware that hypereosinophilia can be found in the organs, body cavity fluid, and peripheral blood of dogs with intestinal lymphoma.

A 13-year-old neutered male mixed-breed dog presented with generalized lymphadenopathy and erythematous cutaneous lesions in the ear pinnae. Fine-needle aspiration cytology of the lymph nodes revealed small to intermediate lymphocytes with a "hand mirror" configuration as the predominant cell type. Histopathological analysis of the lymph node showed an infiltrate of CD3-positive small lymphocytes compressing the follicles against the capsule owing to neoplastic cell expansion. Flow cytometric analysis revealed a homogeneous population of CD3+/CD4-/CD5+/CD8-/CD21+/CD34-/CD45- cells in both the peripheral blood and aspirated lymph nodes, which supports the diagnosis of T-zone lymphoma. Laboratory tests revealed lymphocytosis (14,144 cells/µL) in the peripheral blood. However, contrary to expectations, the bone marrow examination revealed no evidence of lymphocytic infiltration. T-zone lymphoma is an indolent lymphoma with a long survival period, and knowledge of its characteristics may affect disease staging and prognosis evaluation. Therefore, peripheral blood count as a sole screening tool for bone marrow metastasis should be used with caution.

원발성 중추신경계 T 세포 임파종은 모든 뇌종양 중에서 매우 드물게 발생하는 뇌종양이다. 그렇기 때문에 지금까지 보고된 영상의학적인 소견은 매우 드물다. 저자들은 자기공명영상에서 다수의 작은 결절 및 반점형으로 조영증강되는 병변으로 보였던 뇌실질에 발생한 원발성 기타 상세불명의 말초 T 세포 림프종을 경험하였기에 영상의학적인 소견을 중점으로 하여 보고하고자 한다.

폐임파종은 매우 드문 질환으로 흉부 X-선상 단일 결절이나 미만성 폐침윤의 소견을 보이며 폐문 임파절 종대를 보이는 경우는 드물다. 저자들은 발열과 기침, 체중감소를 주소로 내원하여 흉부 X-선상 양측 폐문 임파절 종대와 미만성 폐침윤을 보인 환자에서 전산화단층촬영 유도하 생검상 T-세포 폐임파종으로 진단한 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Image findings of hepatic lymphoma have been reported as variable, ranging from single or multiple small nodules to diffuse infiltrative patterns. On MRI, most hepatic lymphomas show T1 low signal intensity, T2 high signal intensity. Dynamic imaging reveals a hypointense appearance in the arterial phase, followed by delayed enhancement in the portal venous and transitional phase. In the hepatobiliary phase using a hepatocyte-specific contrast agent (which have recently aided in increasing the access to the focal liver lesions), hepatic lymphoma is known to exhibit low signal intensity. We report a case of hepatic lymphoma, which shows iso-signal intensity on hepatobiliary phase, using gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA).

A nasal-type extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma is considered an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with approximately half of all patients relapsing during the follow-up period, and most relapses occurring within the first 2 years of remission. Here we report an unusual case of a 42-year-old man who experienced recurrence in single pleura after 8 years of remission.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma rarely originates from bone, and even more infrequently from a vertebral body. Lymphoblastic lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and results from an abnormality in adaptive immune cells. A 27-year-old man presented with a two-month history of night sweats, weight loss, and severe back pain. Radiological studies demonstrated an osteolytic lesion compressing the subarachnoid space at the T11 level. Posterolateral fusion with decompression was performed and a pathologic examination confirmed lymphoblastic lymphoma of the B-cell precursor type. To our knowledge, this is the first report of solitary lymphoblastic lymphoma from B-cell precursors in of the thoracic spine. Herein, we discuss the presenting symptoms and the management of this rare case of lymphoblastic lymphoma.
