Objectives: MALT lymphoma occurs in various organs and has several characteristic genetic aberrations. Thyroid MALT lymphoma has been reported to include t(3;14)(p14.1;q32)/FOXP1-IGH as a specific genetic aberration, but the number of studies is limited.
Method And Results: We examined 86 thyroid lymphoma cases using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for the detection of t(3;14)/FOXP1-IGH in formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE). Histopathological diagnoses of the analyzed specimen were as follows: thyroid MALT lymphoma (n = 59), DLBCL (n = 23), follicular lymphoma (n = 4), and benign lesions (n = 14) included Hashimoto's thyroiditis (n = 13) and other (n = 1). Of the 100 analyzed cases, thirty-six (36 %) thyroid lymphoma cases were positive for t(3;14)/FOXP1-IGH. Thirty-three (55.9 %) of the 59 MALT lymphoma cases were positive for t(3;14)/FOXP1-IGH. Three (13.0 %) of the 23 DLBCL cases were positive for t(3;14)/FOXP1-IGH. All 4 follicular lymphomas examined were negative for t(3;14)/FOXP1-IGH. None of the benign cases was positive for t(3;14)/FOXP1-IGH, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis (0/13) and benign tissue (0/1).
Conclusions: Our study found that t(3;14)/FOXP1-IGH was frequently found in thyroid MALT lymphoma. A detection of t(3;14)/FOXP1-IGH is extremely useful for the differential diagnosis between primary MALT lymphoma of the thyroid and other thyroid disorders.

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is a lymphoproliferative disorder confined to the liver, with no evidence of lymphomatous involvement in other organs. Here, we report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-type PHL in a patient with a long history of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A 78-year-old woman presented with epigastralgia and was found to have a solitary liver tumor by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).

Zandelisib, a selective, potent PI3Kδ inhibitor, demonstrated favourable outcomes in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma in a global phase II study. This phase II study evaluated the efficacy and safety of zandelisib for relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma. Sixty-one patients received zandelisib orally at 60 mg daily continuously in the first two 28-day cycles, followed by intermittent dosing on Days 1-7 following each cycle until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.

Background: Lymphoma is a common hematological malignancy with diverse morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics that may affect treatment and outcomes. Thus, accurate differential diagnosis is crucial, and molecular genetic testing is valuable. We aimed to investigate the genetic characteristics of Korean patients with lymphoma using a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based targeted panel.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) of the breast is a rare histological subtype of breast cancer, which usually has a low propensity for metastasis and is associated with a good prognosis. AdCC metastasis to the kidney is rare, with only 29 cases reported in the literature. We report a case of a woman in her 60s with multiple right-sided large cystic-solid renal lesions after a recent diagnosis of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma.

Article Synopsis
- Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) lymphoma, particularly gastric MALToma, is often associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, though a significant number of cases occur without it.
- A study analyzed 52 patients with gastric MALToma from 2000 to 2021, finding that 48.1% were H. pylori-negative (HPN) and noted trends of increased HPN diagnoses in more recent years.
- Treatment outcomes showed that HPP patients had better responses to eradication therapy compared to HPN patients, who were more likely to receive additional chemo or radiotherapy.
- Despite these differences in treatment response, clinical features between HPP and HPN patients
