Identification of genetic subtypes in follicular lymphoma.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) exhibits considerable variability in biological features and clinical trajectories across patients. To dissect the diversity of FL, we utilized a Bernoulli mixture model to identify genetic subtypes in 713 pre-treatment tumor tissue samples. Our analysis revealed the existence of five subtypes with unique genetic profiles that correlated with clinicopathological characteristics.

Single gene mutations and prognosis in limited-stage follicular lymphoma treated with radiation therapy.

Radiotherapy is routinely used for management of limited-stage follicular lymphoma (FL), yet half of patients ultimately relapse. We hypothesized that the presence of specific gene mutations may predict outcomes. We performed targeted sequencing of a 69-gene panel in 117 limited-stage FL patients treated with radiotherapy and identified recurrently mutated genes.

[Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma].

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma is an uncommon malignancy associated with textured breast implants, and since 2014 13 Danish cases have been identified. Early diagnosis is important to minimise morbidity. Most patients present with swelling of the breast due to seroma within the fibrous capsule, fewer with a tumour.

Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma Presenting with Severe, Recurrent Hypothermic Episodes.

We report a case presenting with recurrent episodes of severe hypothermia preceding the diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma. The episodes of hypothermia were accompanied by other symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, mainly hypotension, which could be caused by autonomic neuropathy as part of a paraneoplastic syndrome. In comparison with previous reports describing an association between the presence of hypothermia and an adverse outcome, the present patient has responded well to lymphoma-specific treatment and is currently in an ongoing complete remission.
