Published: June 2015

Primary ovarian non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is rare and accounts for 0.5% of all NHLs. Here, we present a case of primary bilateral ovarian NHL in a six-year-old girl. The patient presented with lower abdominal pain and difficulty in walking. Subsequent ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed bilateral ovarian mass. The diagnosis of NHL was established after bilateral adnexectomy and histologic study of excised tissue. After thorough immunohistochemical evaluation, the tumor was diagnosed as Burkitt's lymphoma (Peripheral/Mature B cell neoplasm, Burkitt type according to WHO classification). The patient received 4 cycles of CODOX-M regimen. Six months follow up after surgery is unremarkable.

In today's world, with its continuing advancements in genetics, the identification of Lynch syndrome (LS) increasingly relies on sophisticated genetic testing techniques. Most guidelines recommend a tailored surveillance program, as well as personalized prophylactic and therapeutic approaches, according to the type of dMMR gene mutation. Carriers of path_MLH1 and path_MSH2 genes have a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), despite intensive colonoscopic surveillance.

Background: Obesity, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), is associated with hypertension and vascular dysfunction. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), a metabolically active tissue surrounding blood vessels, plays a key role in regulating vascular tone. In obesity, PVAT becomes dysregulated which may contribute to vascular dysfunction; how sex impacts the remodelling of PVAT and thus the altered vascular contractility during obesity is unclear.
