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.

Measurable residual disease (MRD) is useful for prognostication and for monitoring response to treatment in patients with acute leukaemia. MRD by multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC-MRD) utilises the leukaemia-associated immunophenotype (LAIP) and difference from normal (DfN) strategies to identify the leukaemic clone. Difficulties arise when the LAIP overlaps with normal regeneration, there is clonal evolution, or when the abnormal clone population is exceptionally small e.

Measurable residual disease (MRD) detected by flow cytometry (FC) is well established in paediatric B- lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) and adult chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), but its utility in adult B-ALL and adult acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is less clear. In this prospective MRD study, one of the largest in Australia to date, we examined consecutive bone marrow aspirates from adult participants with B-ALL ( = 47) and AML ( = 87) sent for FC-MRD testing at a quaternary referral hospital in Sydney. FC-MRD results were correlated to corresponding Mol-MRD testing where available and clinical outcomes at three-month intervals over 1 year.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive mucocutaneous ulceration commonly presents as a B-cell lymphoproliferative process with manifold aspects. There is scarce data on its oral manifestation in the scientific literature. We report the case of a 57-year-old male immunocompromised renal transplant patient who developed recurrent chronic and symptomatic mucosal ulceration facing the mandibular incisor teeth.

Good's syndrome is defined as the association of a thymoma with an immune deficiency. Many patients with Good's syndrome also have oral lichen planus involvement, and some authors have even considered it to be one of the clinical signs of Good's syndrome. In the literature, to our knowledge, clinical forms of oral lichen planus associated with Good's syndrome have not been described.
