Tonsillar lymphoma usually presents as unilateral or bilateral enlargement or as an ulcerative or fungating lesions. Most lymphomas that involve the tonsils are diffuse large B-cell lymphomas and primary low grade lymphomas are exceptional. We report a case of primary B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) affecting tonsils with interfollicular pattern of infiltration in a 54-year-old female who clinically presented with bilateral tonsillar enlargement, sore throat, dysphagia and respiratory difficulty, unresponsive to the conservative treatment. To the best of our knowledge, till date only six cases of CLL/SLL infiltrating tonsils have been reported in the English literature, three of these were known cases of CLL/SLL prior to tonsillectomy. In the present case diagnosis of CLL/SLL was first time established on tonsillar histomorphology and that too with an unusual interfollicular pattern of infiltration.

Background: The increasing prevalence of female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is an alarming concern. Trichoscopy is an important bedside diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of FPHL, but there are very few studies correlating it with disease severity or histopathological findings which would provide a better insight to the treating clinician. Hence, we decided to take up this study.

Article Synopsis
- Pediatric-type follicular lymphoma (PTFL) and pediatric nodal marginal zone lymphoma (PNMZL) are rare, slow-growing B-cell lymphomas with shared characteristics, prompting analysis of 59 patient cases for common features.
- Most patients were young males (median age 17) with lymph node involvement, primarily in the head and neck region, and a significant majority opted for a watch-and-wait approach post-surgery.
- Genetic analysis revealed shared mutations, suggesting that PTFL and PNMZL might actually be two manifestations of the same underlying disease rather than distinct conditions.
Ontogeny of Skin Stem Cells and Molecular Underpinnings.

Department of Histology-Embryology, School of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- - Skin stem cells (SCs) are essential for maintaining and regenerating skin tissue, with different types located in various skin regions like the epidermis and sweat glands.
- - Their development begins during embryogenesis from multipotent SCs, and they remain ready to respond to skin repair needs throughout adulthood, influenced by molecular cues for quiescence, self-renewal, and differentiation.
- - Disruptions in the balance of these cues can lead to issues like skin cancer and poor wound healing, prompting research into the molecular mechanisms behind SC behavior for potential regenerative medicine applications.
Alopecia patterns and trichoscopic findings in patients with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis.

Article Synopsis
- Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a rare skin condition primarily characterized by skin scaling and hair abnormalities, which are often overlooked regarding their impact on patients' quality of life.
- This study involved clinical and trichoscopic examinations of 30 ARCI patients over three years, revealing that alopecia affects a significant number, with various patterns of hair loss documented among participants.
- Notable trichoscopic findings included scaling and different hair types that correlate with the severity of ARCI, suggesting that hair health is a crucial component of this condition often underestimated in prior research.
