We describe a 14-year-old Hispanic boy who presented with a 2-month history of enlarging plum-colored cutaneous tumors on his face, trunk, and proximal extremities. Histopathologic examination showed nodular infiltrates of malignant mononuclear cells extending from the superficial dermis to the deep subcutis. Immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy specimen and flow cytometry studies on a bone marrow aspirate revealed a CD4+, CD56+ hematolymphoid tumor that was negative for all other myeloid and lymphoid markers. Based on this information, the patient was diagnosed with the recently described, rare non-T, non-B, nonmyeloid CD4+ CD56+ hematolymphoid malignancy. To our knowledge, this is the youngest patient reported in the literature.

Intravascular accumulation of atypical large lymphoid cells is a rare condition that necessitates a differential diagnosis of intravascular lymphoma (IVL). Recently, a non-neoplastic condition known as benign atypical intravascular CD30+ T-cell proliferation (BAITP) has been identified. This condition is characterized by CD30+ and CD3+ or CD4+ atypical T-cells and is often associated with trauma and chronic inflammation.

Innate immune cells are important players during an infection. The frequency of monocytes, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), natural killer (NK), and NKT cells were assessed in blood samples of children and adolescents living with HIV (CALHIV) and HIV-uninfected (HU) children. Blood samples from 10 CALHIV (treated or not) and six HU individuals were collected for approximately one year.

Background/objectives: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with an emerging molecular classification based on the expression of the transcription factors ASCL1, NEUROD1, and POU2F3. This study aimed to explore the relationship between these novel subtypes and the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), particularly CD8+ and CD4+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs).
Methods: In 51 cases of patients with SCLC, immunohistochemical (IHC) stains for ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, CD56, Ki67, CD8, and CD4 were performed.

Background: Several adult studies show mixed reports in clinical outcomes between cryopreserved and fresh stem cell products, with majority reporting no significant differences and others report that there are differences in outcomes. There is limited literature reporting its impact on outcomes in pediatric hematopoietic cell transplantation (HSCT).
Objective: To compare clinical outcomes between fresh vs cryopreserved stem cell treatment in pediatric HSCT.

Blood lymphocyte reference ranges in non-pregnant females are established, but changes in pregnancy are less well understood The early identification of immunological markers which could suggest an increased risk of early pregnancy loss may allow for timely intervention to improve outcomes. A lymphocytic immunophenotype provides a broad assessment of important immune parameters, and potential indicators, which may be of relevance to pregnancy outcome. Comparison of immunophenotype results on the day of a positive hCG after embryo transfer between successful and failed pregnancies allows for this assessment.
