✓ A patient with a peculiarly refractory uveitis and vitritis was later found to have an infiltrative mass lesion of the posterior portion of the corpus callosum. The histopathological diagnosis of reticulum-cell sarcoma (large-cell lymphoma) was made after study of vitreous tissue obtained by pars plana vitrectomy of the right eye. Intraocular involvement with cerebral reticulum-cell sarcoma has been reported previously.

We described an 11-year-old boy suffering from pediatric anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma with heart metastasis at diagnosis and arterial tumor embolisms during chemotherapy. Both the heart metastasis and pericardial effusion showed improvement with prednisolone, but numbness and pallor sequentially developed in his lower extremities during the first course of chemotherapy. Contrast-enhanced imaging revealed occlusion of the right anterior tibial artery and left popliteal artery. These symptoms were spontaneously remitted due to the compensation of other arteries. Arterial tumor embolism is a rare but possible complication when a lymphoma shows intracardiac infiltration.

✓ The authors record the case histories of two patients originally diagnosed as having the Guillain-Barré syndrome, who responded to steroid therapy and were subsequently shown to have reticulum cell sarcomas. The dangers of attaching significance to steroid-induced remissions are stressed.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) associated with rough textured breast implants was first reported in 1997. It is a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma originating from a T lymphocyte which occurs on average 10.9 years after placement of the breast implant. BIA-ALCL mainly manifests as a periprosthetic seroma or a mass adjacent to the implant. To our knowledge, we describe the first case of BIA-ALCL with initial presentation by indurate erythematous plates located in both breasts and the progressive appearance of several asymptomatic metastatic nodular lesions that have been appearing on the right arm some weeks later.

✓ Five patients are described with cerebral microglioma or reticulum cell sarcoma. The tumors varied from local neoplasms to multicentric or miliary foci. One of these patients is the second case reported of a microglioma associated with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. Serum electrophoresis on the other four patients did not reveal any consistent abnormality or pattern. Immunoglobulin studies performed on three of the five patients confirmed Waldenström's syndrome in one, revealed an elevated IgA globulin in a second, and was normal in a third. Cerebrospinal fluid findings included elevated spinal fluid protein in all five patients. The brain scan was abnormal in all four cases so tested. Arteriograms in four patients demonstrated tumor blushes indicative of increased numbers of enlarged vessels. The relationship between reticulum cell sarcomas originating in the central nervous system and those originating elsewhere is discussed.
