Even though rare in the orbital region, lymphomas are reported as the third most common malignancies of the conjunctiva, following squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. It is estimated that more than 95% lymphomas in periocular tissues are B cell in origin. We present a case of extra-nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) of MALT type of the ocular adnexa, successfully treated with chemoimmunotherapy R-CVP.

CD23 expression in lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma: Clinical-pathological and biological correlations.

Aims: The diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) in the bone marrow (BM) is challenged by aberrant phenotypes and by overlapping histological features with marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). To address these issues, we (i) assessed LPL immunophenotype on a large series of BM samples, (ii) drew possible correlations between LPL phenotype and clinical/molecular data and (iii) investigated the role of new phenotypical markers in the differential diagnosis between LPL and MZL.
Materials And Methods: The study retrospectively considered 81 clinically annotated LPL diagnosed at Padua University Hospital (Padua, Italy) during a 5-year period.

Background: Human papilloma virus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is rising in prevalence and is associated with better survival than HPV-negative OPSCC. In surgically treated HPV-negative OPSCCs, adverse pathologic features such as positive surgical margins, extra-nodal extension (ENE) and perineural invasion are well described to portend worse clinical outcomes. These adverse pathological features, however, are not validated prognostic markers among surgically treated HPV-positive OPSCCs.

Article Synopsis
- Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) is a type of MALT lymphoma, mainly affecting the proximal small intestine and linked to chronic infection, causing symptoms like malabsorption and weight loss.
- A case study of a 50-year-old Nigerian woman highlights the diagnostic challenges of IPSID, as her symptoms were initially misattributed to other conditions despite multiple antibiotic treatments.
- The patient's condition progressed from initial symptom relief with antibiotics to requiring chemotherapy after developing lymphoma, illustrating the complexities of managing IPSID effectively.
Pathological Extramural Venous Invasion in High-stage Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder has Shorter Locoregional Recurrence-free Survival.

Department of Pathology, University of Florida College of Medicine- Jacksonville, Jacksonville, FL, USA.
Extramural venous invasion is an independent prognostic factor in colorectal cancers; the pathological identification of extramural venous invasion in bladder cancer remains unclear. By focusing on high-stage urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, we provide insights into the pathological identification of extramural venous invasion in this particular clinical context. Clinical and demographic details and pathological reports were extracted from electronic medical records.

We describe a case of gallbladder extra-nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-ML). MALT-ML is rare, and its clinical manifestations are lack of specificity. A few cases have been reported, and no characteristic imaging features have been described.
