A 79-year-old male with a positive fecal occult blood test result underwent total colonoscopy, which revealed a 15-mm-semipedunculated polyp in the rectum. The polyp appeared to be an adenoma using narrow-band imaging observation in magnifying endoscopy, although a 3mm reddish segment with a different surface structure was identified adjacent to the base of the polyp. En-bloc endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was performed.

The diagnosis of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8)-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) is challenging because of the rarity and extended spectrum of each entity. A 43-year-old, human immunodeficiency virus seropositive, Japanese man was referred to our department because of persistent fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, jaundice and anasarca. Biopsy of a left axially lymph node demonstrated relatively preserved nodal structure with multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) features.

Class-Switch Recombination Occurs Infrequently in Germinal Centers.

Immunity

Department of Immunology and Infectious Disease and Centre for Personalised Immunology, The John Curtin School of Medical Research, The Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia; China-Australia Centre for Personalised Immunology, Department of Rheumatology, Shanghai Renji Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University, Shanghai, China. Electronic address:

Class-switch recombination (CSR) is a DNA recombination process that replaces the immunoglobulin (Ig) constant region for the isotype that can best protect against the pathogen. Dysregulation of CSR can cause self-reactive BCRs and B cell lymphomas; understanding the timing and location of CSR is therefore important. Although CSR commences upon T cell priming, it is generally considered a hallmark of germinal centers (GCs).

Plasmablastic light chain myeloma presenting as pancytopenia: An unusual presentation.

Natl Med J India

December 2018

Department of Pathology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi 110001, India.

Light chain myeloma (LCM) is an unusual neoplasm accounting for about 1 8% of all plasma cell myelomas. It is characterized by the absence of a detectable M protein in the serum and urine protein electrophoresis, altered free light chain ratio, bone marrow plasmacytosis and related organ or tissue damage. We report a 60-year-old man with LCM presenting with pancytopenia.
