Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a monoclonal lymphoid neoplasm derived from B cells and is one of the most common lymphomas among young adults in developed countries. It typically presents insidiously, often as a painless cervical lymphadenopathy or an asymptomatic mediastinal mass. B symptoms (fever, night sweats, and weight loss), fatigue, pruritus, or alcohol-induced pain may be present along with respiratory symptoms in cases of mediastinal involvement.

J Clin Med
September 2024
Academic Unit of Gastroenterology, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Sheffield S10 2JF, UK.
Article Synopsis
- There is limited data on mesenteric lymph node cavitation syndrome (MLNCS), a rare and serious condition linked to coeliac disease, which can lead to central necrosis in enlarged lymph nodes; the largest related study dates back to 1984 and noted a poor prognosis.
- A recent study from 2000 to 2023 included 51 patients, revealing that common symptoms were weight loss (80%) and diarrhea (65%), with a significant number having persistent villous atrophy (88%) and hyposplenism (80%).
- The prognosis for MLNCS is poor, with a 43% overall mortality rate mainly due to complications like cachexia and infections; current treatment methods appear inadequate, suggesting a
Comparison of lung lesion assessment using free-breathing dynamic contrast-enhanced 1.5-T MRI with a golden-angle radial stack-of-stars VIBE sequence and CT.
Acta Radiol
August 2024
Department of Radiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, PR China.
Article Synopsis
- A study explored the use of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) with a specific technique called FB radial VIBE to assess lung lesions, comparing results to standard CT scans.
- Involving 43 patients, the study found that while the maximum diameters of lesions were similar between CT and MRI, certain MRI features (like spiculation and lobulation) showed strong diagnostic performance.
- The results indicated that DCE-MRI can provide useful information about the characteristics of lung lesions, distinguishing between benign and malignant types without exposing patients to radiation, suggesting it may complement traditional CT scans.
Seronegative Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis With Isolated Lung Lesions: A Case Report.
Cureus
May 2024
Internal Medicine, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare type of vasculitis that mainly affects small and medium blood vessels, characterized by granulomas particularly in the upper respiratory tract and kidneys.
- A 54-year-old woman presented with symptoms leading to the discovery of GPA, despite being seronegative for common antibodies like ANCA; her lung lesions were identified through imaging and biopsy.
- The patient underwent treatment with intravenous rituximab for six months after diagnoses, which revealed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation.
