Bladder cancer is a common cancer that may present as superficial, invasive, or metastatic disease. Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) represents the majority of bladder cancer diagnoses, but represents a spectrum of disease with a variable clinical course, notably for significant risk of recurrence and potential for progression. NMIBC metastasis to distant organs without local invasion or regional metastasis is a very rare occurrence, so there are limi-ted case reports about early metastasis in the literature.

This leads to a high level of oxidative stress in the bone marrow (BM) and increases haematopoietic cell dysfunction. Our objective was to analyse whether chelation with deferasirox (DFX) alleviates the consequences of oxidative stress and improves BM cell functionality.

CD20-negative diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a very uncommon neoplasm, and very rare unclassifiable cases that did not meet the criteria for well-established subtypes of CD20-negative DLBCLs have been reported. CD20-negative DLBCLs often present an aggressive clinical course with important chemoresistance and poor prognosis. Here, we report a case of CD20-negative DLBCL presented as a testicular mass.
