Pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma in a South Indian regional cancer center: its immunomorphology, tumor-associated macrophages, and association with Epstein-Barr virus.

Pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) comprises approximately a fifth of all patients with HL in India. Seventy-four cases of pediatric classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) from a regional cancer center in southern India were analyzed on a tissue microarray (TMA) for the stage of B-cell differentiation of the Hodgkin/Reed Sternberg (HRS) cell by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using CD10, bcl6, MUM1/IRF4, and CD 138. Fifty-two of seventy-four (70.

L-asparginase induced pseudopancreatic cyst: a rare case report.

L-Asparginase is a frequently used drug in hematological malignancies. Various side effects associated with its use include hypersensitivity, hyperglycemia, hypercoaguability and acute pancreatitis. We describe a rare complication of pancreatic pseudocyst in a 12 year old boy of Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with MCP-841 protocol (during re-induction phase).

Chronic myeloid leukemia in children and adolescents: results of treatment with imatinib mesylate.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a rare disease in children, accounting for 2-3% of leukemias in this age group. Few studies have reported on efficacy of imatinib in childhood CML. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the efficacy of imatinib in children.

Cytogenetic study of non-Hodgkin lymphoma from South India. histologic and geographic correlations.

Cytogenetic analysis of fine needle aspiration cultures was performed on 189 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma from South India. Successful karyotyping was possible in 97 patients (51.3%).

Cytogenetic characterization of Ewing tumors using fine needle aspiration samples. a 10-year experience and review of the literature.

Chromosomal analysis was performed in fine needle aspiration samples of 98 primary Ewing tumors (ETs) prior to treatment. Among the 58 (59.18%) successful cultures, t(11;22)(q24;q12) was observed in 87.
