An Atypical relapsing follicular lymphoma to composite Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Composite lymphoma is defined as two or more lymphomas with distinct morphological and immunophenotypical characteristics synchronously diagnosed at the same anatomical site. Composite lymphoma is rare, and the most common combination is follicular lymphoma (FL) associated with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, followed by FL associated with classic Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Histologically, composite lymphomas display a mixed pattern or distinct zonal distribution of each lymphoma component.

Recent Advances in the Treatment and Supportive Care of POEMS Syndrome.

POEMS is a rare clonal plasma cell disorder characterized by multi-systemic features that include demyelinating peripheral neuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, presence of monoclonal proteins (M-protein), and skin changes. Even though the pathophysiology is poorly understood, recent studies suggest that both clonal and polyclonal plasmacytosis leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and angiogenic mediators play the central role. These mediators including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are the driving forces of the syndrome.
