Article Synopsis
  • Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) with rearrangement is a rare subtype characterized by two types of T-cells: small- to medium-sized weakly CD30+ cells and medium- to large-sized strongly CD30+ cells.
  • This subtype has a generally milder clinical course than primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL) and often regresses without treatment.
  • A notable case involved an 81-year-old woman who was diagnosed with LyP with rearrangement, having had a previous diagnosis of pcALCL 20 years earlier.

Quadruple-hit lymphomas are extremely rare non-Hodgkin lymphomas with a reported dismal prognosis in the few reported cases. A "quadruple hit" has been defined by the presence of concurrent MYC, BCL2, BCL6, and CCND1 chromosomal rearrangements. We report a new case of a quadruple hit lymphoma in a 73-year-old Hispanic man who presented with an enlarging left-sided neck mass.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor in the gastrointestinal tract and is most commonly seen in the stomach. The standard treatment for patients with advanced GISTs include both surgical resection and imatinib therapy. There have been cases that document the alterations of patients' GIST histomorphology both with primary GIST prior to imatinib therapy and with recurrent GIST after imatinib therapy.

Introduction: Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is also known as chloroma, extramedullary acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or granulocytic sarcoma. MS is a rare extramedullary infiltration of myeloid cells, most commonly collecting in the skin and causing a small number of localized lesions. It is strongly associated with AML; however, MS more commonly occurs after diagnosis of AML is previously established or after previous treatment of AML.

Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma is a rare primary vaginal carcinoma. Vaginal adenocarcinomas are most frequently a metastatic lesion, and less commonly, have clear cell histology and occur in young women with diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure in utero. Due to the limited diagnostic power of immunohistochemistry (IHC) in differentiating primary from metastatic adenocarcinoma of the vagina, clinical and radiological correlation is critical in this scenario.
