Human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) was subsequently identified as the cause of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). While oral manifestations of this disease have been documented, they remain poorly described in the literature. We present the case of a 32-year-old patient who exhibited facial and oral swelling in the upper jaw.

Purpose: Immunosuppression is a well-established risk factor for primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSLs), which present in this context distinct radiological characteristics. Our aim was to describe the radiological evolution of treated PCNSL in immunocompromised patients and suggest adapted MRI response criteria.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study of patients from the French LOC, K-Virogref and CANCERVIH network databases and enrolled adult immunocompromised patients with newly diagnosed PCNSL.

Objectives: Despite a high response rate at the first evaluation during induction chemotherapy, the risk of early relapse remains high and unpredictable in primary CNS lymphomas (PCSNLs). We aimed to assess the prognostic value of early IL-10 levels in CSF (e-IL-10) after 2 months of induction chemotherapy.

Methods: We retrospectively selected from the LOC (Lymphomes Oculo-Cérébraux) network database patients with PCSNLs who had complete or partial response at the 2-month evaluation of a high-dose methotrexate-based first-line chemotherapy for whom e-IL-10 was available.

The prognosis of relapsed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) remains dismal. CAR T-cells are a major contributor to systemic lymphomas, but their use in PCNSL is limited. From the LOC network database, we retrospectively selected PCNSL who had leukapheresis for CAR-T cells from the third line of treatment, and, as controls, PCNSL treated with any treatment, at least in the third line and considered not eligible for ASCT.

Article Synopsis
  • - A case study is presented about a patient who received an allogeneic stem cell transplant and contracted a SARS-CoV-2 infection in a hospital setting.
  • - The patient was treated with the neutralizing monoclonal antibody bamlanivimab just two days after the COVID-19 diagnosis.
  • - Despite the treatment, the patient developed severe pneumonia and ultimately died, with the emergence of resistance mutations to the antibody.
