In patients with follicular lymphoma (FL), therapeutic advances have led to improved survival, and within this framework, it is important to identify treatment strategies offering a better quality of life. Using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), in patients treated with R-CHOP-like or R-Bendamustine regimens, we assessed changes in the bone mineral density (BMD), musculoskeletal index (SMI), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) at disease onset and at the end of therapy. We evaluated whether the high-steroid regimen could lead to more significant radiological changes than those induced by the steroid-free regimen and whether a low BMD at disease onset is an unfavorable prognostic index.

Bendamustine has been shown to have anti-tumor activities in hematological malignancies, but the role of bendamustine in natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL) treatment is unclear. Our study has shown that bendamustine had potent growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects on NKTCL cells. Interestingly, we noticed that the combination of either gemcitabine or etoposide results in additive or synergistic cytotoxicity.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a rare form of lymphoma in children with limited published data on treatment and lack of a uniformly accepted treatment algorithm. We retrospectively analyzed the data in children up to 18 years of age diagnosed to have PTCL from January 2016 to June 2020. The study included six children with a median age of 10 years, the youngest being a 7-month-old girl.

Chronic urticarial rash and symptoms of systemic inflammation including fever, arthralgia and bone pain with the presence of monoclonal immunoglobulin M (IgM), rarely IgG, are among hallmarks of the disease. We performed a retrospective study of 6 patients (5 men, 1 woman) diagnosed with Schnitzler´s syndrome fulfilling the Strasbourg criteria who had been treated at our centre in the University Hospital Brno from 2007 to 2021.

BACKGROUND Most patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are asymptomatic at diagnosis, but 10% present with B symptoms. Most patients have palpable lymphadenopathy, while 20-50% of the patients have hepatosplenomegaly. Cutaneous infiltrations in patients with CLL can be localized or generalized in the form of erythematous papules, plaques, nodules and, ulceration, which is uncommon.
