Hodgkin-like peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with preserved Hodgkin-like lesions at autopsy: a case report with an interesting clinical course.

The presence of the so-called Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (H-RS) like cells may occur in T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Reported herein is the autopsy case of Hodgkin-like peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in a 77-year-old male with gradual submandibular lymph node enlargement. The first biopsy showed Hodgkin-like PTCL, initially misdiagnosed as classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Corticosteroid enhances heme oxygenase-1 production by circulating monocytes by up-regulating hemoglobin scavenger receptor and amplifying the receptor-mediated uptake of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex.

This study examined the relationship between steroid treatment and CD163-mediated downstream pathways linked to inflammatory resolution. Twelve patients referred for congenital heart disease surgery were divided into two groups based on the severity of intravascular hemolysis during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Patients with severe intravascular hemolysis were administered haptoglobin during the procedure.
