Mycosis fungoides and nodal classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) have been reported to occur concurrently or sequentially in the same patient. A long-lasting mycosis fungoides more often precedes the onset of nodal cHL, although few cases of nodal cHL followed by mycosis fungoides have been observed. Skin involvement is a rare manifestation of cHL that may be observed in the setting of advanced disease.

We retrospectively analyzed 55 patients who underwent allo-SCT for MCL relapsed or refractory (r/r) after rituximab and high-dose cytarabine within the MANTLE-FIRST project. With a median follow-up of 3.

The basic classification into a skin-limited disease and a systemic form with multi-organ involvement remains valid. Systemic mastocytosis is a disease often hard to diagnose, characterized by different symptoms originating from either the release of mast cell mediators or organ damage due to mast cell infiltration.

We evaluated outcomes in patients with first relapsed-refractory (r/r) MCL after upfront high dose cytarabine including standard regimens. Overall survival (OS-2) and progression-free survival (PFS-2) were estimated from the time of salvage therapy.

Clinically, it is characterized by a mass arising in a long-standing inflammation and by a poor prognosis. Recently, DLBCL-CI has been described growing along the wall of a preexisting cyst, without forming a mass.
