Non-Hodgkin lymphoma usually presents with generalized lymphadenopathy, but it can also involve any part of the human body. Lymphomatous involvement of muscles is a rare presentation and has been reported to occur in only 1.1% in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Here we, present a 32 year-old Iranian man with primary involvement of spleen, bone, bone marrow and muscle, mimicking soft tissue sarcoma; core needle biopsy of the gluteal muscle showed diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Background: FT596 is an induced pluripotent stem-cell (iPSC)-derived chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) natural killer (NK) cell therapy with three antitumour modalities: a CD19 CAR; a high-affinity, non-cleavable CD16 Fc receptor; and interleukin-15-interleukin-15 receptor fusion. In this study, we aimed to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and evaluate the safety and tolerability of FT596 as monotherapy and in combination with rituximab. We also aimed to evaluate the antitumour activity and characterise the pharmacokinetics of FT596 as monotherapy and in combination with rituximab.

Sweet syndrome (SS), which is characterised by fever and erythematous tender skin lesions, has been shown to be associated with lymphoma. However, there are limited reported experiences on the wound care of SS in patients with lymphoma. This case report presents the wound care of SS in a patient with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK+ALCL).

Backgroud: The introduction of highly active immunotherapies has changed the outcome of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) in the last two decades. Since then, important progress has been shown using newer and more active immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), conjugated monoclonal antibodies, and bispecific antobodies, which currently plays a significant role in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL), follicular (FL), and mantle cell (MCL) lymphoma.

Purpose: In this review, we provide an updated overview of recently completed and ongoing BsAb trials in patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R) B-NHL and Hodgkin's lymphoma, including single-agent results, emerging combinations, safety data, and novel constructs.

High-grade B-cell lymphoma with 11q aberration (HGBCL-11q) is a rare germi-nal centre lymphoma characterised by a typical gain/loss pattern on chromo-some 11q but without MYC translocation. It shares some features with Burkitt lymphoma (BL), HGBCLs and germinal centre-derived diffuse large B-cell lym-phoma, not otherwise specified (GCB-DLBCL-NOS). Since microRNA expression in HGBCL-11q remains unknown, we aimed to identify and compare the mi-croRNA expression profiles in HGBCL-11q, BL and in GCB-DLBCL-NOS.

Flow cytometric (FC) immunophenotyping and T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement studies are essential ancillary methods for the characterisation of T-cell lymphomas. Traditional manual gating and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based analyses can be labour-intensive, operator-dependent, and have limitations in terms of sensitivity and specificity. The objective of our study was to investigate the efficacy of the Phenograph and t-SNE algorithms together with an antibody specific for the TCR β-chain constant region 1 (TRBC1) to identify monoclonal T-cell populations.
