Jaundice in Hodgkin's disease occurs in 3-13% of the cases reported in the medical literature and can be due to several causes. Cholestatic jaundice associated with ductopenia may be a consequence of an associated paraneoplastic process and can occur several months before the development of Hodgkin's disease. When there is a finding of jaundice of unknown etiology associated with ductopenia, the possible existence of Hodgkin's disease should be investigated. We describe a case of cholestatic jaundice associated with Hodgkin's disease. The first clinical and laboratory manifestations were symptoms of bloody diarrhea months before the development of Hodgkin's disease. We discuss the differential diagnoses considered, given the complexity of the case.

Prognostic Factors for Survival in Adults With Burkitt Lymphoma: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Several studies have identified prognostic factors (PFs) for disease progression and mortality among adults with BL. However, there is no consensus on risk stratification based on PFs.

Purpose: This study aims to identify and summarize evidence on the effectiveness of exercise-based interventions on muscle mass, muscle strength, functional performance, aerobic capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), feasibility of the interventions, in patients with malignant lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in six electronic databases and trials registers on November 15, 2023. Peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing exercise intervention with controls/usual care in adults (≥18 years) diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy were considered for inclusion.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and a sizable fraction of the DLBCL patients presents with advanced, relapsed, and refractory disease, demonstrating poor response to standard chemotherapy regimens. Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) has shown to be clinically effective in refractory DLBCL. We present the case of a patient with DLBCL with [18F]FDG-avid widespread skeletal as well as splenic involvement as poor prognostic extranodal disease on FDG PET/CT.

Eosinophilia is a notable feature in various hematological malignancies, including specific types of leukemias and lymphomas that may occur in the head and neck. In hematologic malignancies, eosinophilia can be primary, driven by genetic abnormalities, or secondary, resulting from cytokine and chemokine production by the neoplastic cells or the tumor microenvironment. This review examines the association between eosinophilia and head and neck hematolymphoid malignancies including Classic Hodgkin lymphoma, T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, mature T and NK-cell lymphomas, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Background: T/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (T/HRBCL) is a highly aggressive subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma characterized histologically by the presence of a few neoplastic large B cells amidst an abundant background of reactive T lymphocytes and/or histiocytes. T/HRBCL commonly affects the lymph nodes, followed by extranodal sites, such as the spleen, liver, and bone marrow, with rare occurrences in the gastrointestinal tract. Primary gastrointestinal T/HRBCL lacks specific clinical and endoscopic manifestations, and it is difficult to differentiate from inflammatory diseases, nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, and other diseases on a histological basis, thereby hindering early diagnosis.
