Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare entity accounting for less than 1% of all breast malignancies. Diagnostic criteria for primary Hodgkin's lymphoma of the breast are: the presence of sufficient tissue for diagnosis, close interaction between mammary tissue and lymphomatous infiltrate and no evidence or prior diagnosis of widespread lymphoma. Our case illustrates an unusual presentation of Hodgkin's lymphoma of the breast: clinically as inflammatory breast cancer and core biopsy as granulomatous mastitis, the final diagnosis requiring surgical biopsy. Current information regarding this entity is scant, mainly build upon its rarity. In this paper we assess the clinical presentation, the step-by-step diagnosis, the treatment and the importance of immunohistochemistry in this uncommon condition.

A Rare Case of Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder Presenting as Hodgkin Lymphoma After Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a rare complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with its occurrence post-autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) being even rarer. Research on PTLD following auto-HSCT is exceedingly scarce. Here, we present a noteworthy instance wherein a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) developed PTLD, manifesting as classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) two years after auto-HSCT.

Research Question: Does the aggressiveness of Hodgkin lymphoma impact the oocyte cohort after ovarian stimulation for fertility preservation?
Design: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was undertaken. Seventy-seven chemo-naive women with newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma were enrolled prospectively at the Observatory and Fertility Preservation Centre, Lille University Hospital, France between 2012 and 2021. Seventy-eight ovarian stimulation cycles were performed.
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) is a rare mature T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) seen in both children and adults. While it is the most common non-anaplastic mature T-cell lymphoma of childhood, it is quite rare and therefore, the standard of care remains largely undefined. It is a disease characterized by clinical and pathological heterogeneity and is generally associated with an aggressive clinical course and poor prognosis in adults.

CNS lymphoma is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily affects the brain, spinal cord, leptomeninges, or eyes, leading to severe neurological or ophthalmological complications. This case report details a 44-year-old male with human immunodeficiency virus and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who experienced permanent vision loss due to optic perineuritis, a rare presenting symptom indicative of underlying CNS involvement. Despite previous remission, imaging revealed focal enhancements suggesting CNS lymphoma, highlighting diagnostic and management challenges in relapsed lymphoma, especially in immunocompromised patients.

Childhood and adolescent classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) has long been a model for how we balance improved outcomes with increased toxicities in pediatric cancer. The recognition that unacceptable short- and long-term toxicities come with increasing intensity of treatment has led to a decades-long attempt to better understand the patient-specific factors that dictate responses and outcomes. Targeted immunotherapy has emerged as a promising adjunct to cancer treatment; it has been shown to improve outcomes for poorly responding patients, to salvage relapsed disease, and more recently, to replace more toxic therapy modalities such as chemotherapy and radiation while maintaining excellent outcomes.
