Indolent T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder of the stomach successfully treated by radiotherapy.

Successful treatment of indolent T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder of the gastrointestinal tract (ITLPDGI) by chemotherapy is rare and watchful waiting is often performed for asymptomatic patients. We report a case of ITLPDGI successfully treated by involved field radiotherapy (IFRT). The patient presented with slow ITLPDGI localised to the stomach with mild symptoms.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma with gastrointestinal involvement and indolent T-lymphoproliferative disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.

The 2017 WHO classification includes a new provisional entity of indolent T-lymphoproliferative disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (ITLPD-GIT). We investigated GI involvement of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Eighty-two patients were diagnosed with PTCL during 2007-2017.

A case series of adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma, associated with human T-cell leukemia virus type-1, at a single center in a non-viral-endemic metropolitan area.

We examined 13 patients with adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) diagnosed between 2007 and 2018 at a single center in a metropolitan area non-endemic for human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1). The median age of the patients (eight male, five female) was 65 years (range, 48-83). The time from onset of symptoms to referral to our center was relatively short (median, 2 months; range, 1-9 months).
