Introduction. Intussusception is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in adults and is usually associated with an underlying pathology, benign, or malignant. This is a report of a case of jejunojejunal intussusception secondary to non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphoma in an adult patient.Case Presentation. A 74-year-old male with no previous significant medical history presented with symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction. A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed 2 areas of jejunojejunal intussusception, which were surgically managed successfully. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed the presence of high grade diffuse large B-cell-type non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and the patient was referred to the oncology team for further management.Discussion. B-cell lymphoma is a rare but well-documented cause of intussusception in adults, with most cases being at the ileocolic region. We present a rare case of jejunojejunal intussusception as the initial presentation of non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphoma in an adult patient.

The breast may be the site of primary lymphoma or be invaded secondarily by lymphoma from another organ [1]. Unilateral localisation is the most frequent.. The majority of lymphomas are of B-cell type. The most frequent type is represented by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which present, when primary, a peculiar type of relapse in the central nervous system. Only limited surgery should be done in all type of lymphomas. The treatment is based on chemotherapy and immunotherapy,The prognosis is generally pejorative with.We report a case of primary breast non-Hodgkins malignant lymphoma in a 70-year-old patientAt the same time, a review of the literature is undertaken evoking the epidemiological, clinical, histological and therapeutic aspects of this neoplasm.

Abstract Background Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is an extremely rare neoplasm in children; by definition, it manifests in the breast without evidence of lymphoma elsewhere, except ipsilateral axillary nodes. Case presentation We report a case of a 15-year-old girl diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the right breast: the patient received chemotherapy and rituximab, achieving complete remission. A literature review revealed other 11 cases of pediatric PBL; it mainly affects female adolescents and can involve right and left breast equally. Different histologic subtypes have been described, arising from both B-cell and T-cell. Therapeutic approaches were very different, from chemotherapy to local treatment with surgery and/or radiotherapy. Conclusions Our case is the first in which rituximab was administered, suggesting to be a promising therapy in B-cell PBL, as already demonstrated in pediatric B-cell lymphoma from other sites. Further investigations are needed to identify prognostic factors and establish the most effective treatment.

Introduction: PBL is a rare form of extranodal lymphoma. The most common pathology is diffuse large B cell lymphoma and most patients are diagnosed at stages 1 and 2. The therapeutic options undertaken so far include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy Case Presentation: The patient was a 54-year old woman with localized primary breast DLBCL. The patient underwent 6 courses of chemotherapy with an RCHOP regimen followed by radiotherapy of the breast and regional lymph nodes with a 40 Gy dose. The patient was in complete remission on PET scan 3 months later. Around one year after, the patient experienced relapse in the contralateral breast. Conclusions: In the pattern of relapse of patients, there is a tendency for extranodal relapse. In some studies maximum level of relapse occurring in CNS and some advocate CNS prophylaxis in these patients. The best outcome is for patients treated with chemotherapy including rituximab followed by radiation. We reviewed some studies in the aspect of treatment modalities and site of relapsed.

A 75-year-old woman developed redness and swelling on her truncal skin, spreading from the lower abdomen to left thigh, 2 months before being admitted to our hospital. She was urgently hospitalised because of her worsening respiratory condition. On admission, she had reticular telangiectasia, diffuse skin induration on the lower abdomen and panhypopituitarism. She was diagnosed with intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) by the third random abdominal skin biopsy. After histopathological examination at autopsy, we made a final diagnosis of IVLBCL causing respiratory failure and panhypopituitarism. This is the rare case of IVLBCL-induced panhypopituitarism showing visible skin lesions.
