Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma: A population-based cohort study on incidence, treatment, and outcome in the Netherlands.

Introduction: Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is a peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with a poor prognosis. Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) with or without etoposide consolidated by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) are recommended for fit PTCL patients. The role of etoposide and ASCT in EATL is unclear.

International Metabolic Prognostic Index Is Superior to Other Metabolic Tumor Volume-Based Prognostication Methods in a Real-Life Cohort of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

Baseline metabolic tumor volume (MTV) is a promising prognostic marker in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We assessed the prognostic value of 4 novel metabolic risk scores in a real-life DLBCL cohort and compared them with the revised International Prognostic Index (IPI). We included a consecutive series of untreated DLBCL, not otherwise specified cases that were diagnosed in our hospital from 2008 to 2021 with available baseline [F]FDG PET/CT.

Clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma treated with high-dose methotrexate-based polychemotherapy and consolidation therapies.

Given the rarity of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), evaluations of different high-dose methotrexate-(HD-MTX)-based treatment regimens is sparse. This retrospective, multicenter study evaluates clinical characteristics and outcomes (progression-free, overall and disease-specific survival) after five HD-MTX-based polychemotherapeutic regimens and two consolidation therapies. 346 patients with histologically confirmed PCNSL, treated with ≥ 1 cycle HD-MTX-based strategies (≥3g/m/cycle) were included.

Sulfasalazine-Induced Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive Mucocutaneous Ulcer.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may cause a wide spectrum of symptomatology in humans ranging from asymptomatic upper respiratory tract infection to infectious mononucleosis and in more severe cases lymphoproliferative disorders or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Its neoplastic potential is higher in immunocompromised individuals. We describe a case of EBV-positive mucocutaneous ulcer, a more indolent clinical entity on the spectrum of EBV-driven lymphoproliferative disorders, and are one of the first to put sulfasalazine, an immunomodulatory agent, forward as the possible culprit.
