Mycosis fungoides associated with intestinal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.

Coexistence of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and a B-cell malignancy is rare. We report a case of mycosis fungoides (MF) associated with intestinal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, which is a low-grade B-cell lymphoma of marginal cell origin. To the best of our knowledge, there have been only two cases of coexistent CTCL and MALT lymphoma, and this is the first case with typical MF and intestinal MALT lymphoma.

Premature thymic involution, observed at the ultrastructural level, in two lineages of human-SOD-1 transgenic mice.

The human Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (hSOD-1) gene, catalyses the dismutation of O2 to H2O2 and O2. It is located on chromosome 21 in q22.1 and is overexpressed in Down's syndrome (DS) patients.
