Background: Recent findings point to the key role of cathepsin S (CTSS) in the survival of malignant cells, as well as the significance of the anti-apoptotic properties of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that contribute to enhanced cell survival. The purpose of this study is to analyse CTSS as a potential biomarker in lymphoma. Also, in order to better understand the role of CTSS in the origin and development of lymphoma, its association with cystatin C (Cys C), lipids, and inflammatory markers was analysed.

Acquired von Willebrand syndrome (aVWS) is a rare hematological disorder depicted by dysfunctional or deficient von Willebrand factor activity and can be associated with underlying hematological malignancies such as non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL). This case report examines a patient with aVWS secondary to NHL and highlights the challenges in managing bleeding and optimizing a patient for surgery. The case report will explore the multidisciplinary approach to recognizing aVWS, treatment modalities, and adjunctive measures to reduce bleeding risk as well as long-term management.

Hypercalcemia is a common metabolic complication associated with malignancies, particularly in solid tumors, such as lung and breast cancers. However, its occurrence in hematologic malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), is rare. The pathophysiology of hypercalcemia in lymphomas is often related to the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related peptide (PTHrP).

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma characterized by the malignant transformation of lymphoid tissue at sites affected by chronic inflammation. Pleural marginal zone lymphoma (PMZL) is an infrequent manifestation of this condition. We report a case of PMZL co-occurring with primary lung adenocarcinoma.

Tumor lysis syndrome is a metabolic emergency resulting from a massive destruction of cancer cells. This is often associated with hematological malignancies, such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute leukemia, but the incidence tends to increase for solid tumors with the development of oncological treatments. Due to a poor prognosis, it is essential to recognize this syndrome early.
