Liver histology in patients with sporadic acute hepatitis E: a study of 11 patients from South-West France.

Hepatitis E virus is a ribonucleic acid (RNA) enterically transmitted virus that causes both epidemics and sporadic cases of acute hepatitis E in many countries of Asia and Africa. Domestically acquired (non-travel-associated) hepatitis E has been reported recently in many industrialized countries including the USA, Europe, and Japan. There is little information available on liver histology in these patients.

"In situ-like" mantle cell lymphoma: a report of two cases.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B cell neoplasm that most often shows a diffuse growth pattern. Two cases of MCL are reported here, both with a previous diagnosis of lymphoid hyperplasia. Morphologically, germinal centres are hyperplasic with a normal or discretely enlarged mantle zone, where foci of irregularly shaped small lymphocytes are seen.
