Background: The perianal region is a very rare location for Hodgkin's lymphoma, and clinicians may often neglect the diagnosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Patient Presentation: We present a case of perianal Hodgkin's lymphoma in patient with Crohn's disease who was on long-term immunosuppression and whose symptoms would normally be attributed to Crohn's disease. Diagnosis was based on the morphological appearance of atypical cells in the lamina propria and the immunohistochemical profile of Reed Sternberg and Hodgkin's cells, showing co-expression of CD15 and CD30.
Conclusion: Perianal complaints in patients with inflammatory bowel disease may be a manifestation of other pathology. Hodgkin's lymphoma could be a progression in the chronically inflamed tissue in this unusual location.

Background: Research into the intratumoral microenvironment in lymphoma has been escalated along with improved survival and new targeted therapies with an intent to refine risk stratification and prognostication. Various studies have reported significance of quantitative DCE-MRI parameters for predicting biological behaviour of various tumors. This study is an endeavour to supplement the existing literature on quantitative DCE-MRI in nodal lymphoma.

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), subdivided into endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficiency-associated forms. While jaw lesions are common in endemic BL, they are infrequent in sporadic cases, only rarely constituting the first manifestation of the disease. The aim of this study is to present a rare pediatric case of sporadic BL first manifesting as gingival swellings and tooth hypermobility and provide a review of all the published sporadic BL case reports as the first sign of disease.

Nephrotic syndrome is characterised by heavy proteinuria secondary to glomerular injury. It is an uncommon but serious complication of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), but rarely reported after autologous HSCT. Here, we report the case of a man in his mid-20s who presented with significant peripheral oedema 2 months after autologous HSCT for Hodgkin lymphoma.

The outcome of refractory/relapsed systemic Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (R/R-sALCL), especially for anaplastic lymphoma kinase-1 (ALK-1)-negative disease, remains dismal even after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). The intensification of both salvage and conditioning regimens, without increasing the toxicity, could improve the outcome of AHSCT in R/R-sALCL. Based on the successful experience of the incorporation of antiD20 monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of B-Cell Lymphomas, we designed a salvage and conditioning regimen incorporating the antiCD30-conjugated antibody (Brentuximab Vedotin, BV) to standard chemotherapy regimens, and we describe herein the clinical course of a patient with AKL-ve, R/R-sALCL, who received salvage regimen BV + DHAP, followed by AHSCT with preparative regimen consisted of BV plus standard BEAM.

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma diagnosed in patients with a history of breast implants. Most patients develop a periprosthetic effusion at early stages of disease while less common presentations include a palpable mass, severe capsular contracture, lymphadenopathy, or cutaneous erythema. Due to the complex nature of this disease, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary for optimal management, particularly in locally advanced disease or inoperable patients.
