Case Report: We report a rare case of a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in a 70-year-old- woman, with history of diabetes. The pathological study was in favor of a Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma of the Temporal Bone.
Discussion: Lymphomas defined as malignant monoclonal proliferation of lymphoid cells, are not uncommon in the head and neck region. Literature presents with few cases.
Conclusion: The aim of this article is to report a rare case of a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with primary mastoid and external auditory canal infiltration without systemic involvement initially presented as a benign ear infection.

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

Global Health Equity Foundation, Bear, DE 19701, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is a rare, aggressive cancer in children with lower survival rates compared to other pediatric cancers, influenced by factors like sex, race, ethnicity, age, and socio-economic status.
- A retrospective study analyzed 174 pRCC cases from 1973 to 2015 to understand survival rates, identifying significant disparities, such as black/AA children being nearly three times more likely to die from the disease than white children.
- The study highlights the need for further research into socio-economic and demographic factors affecting pRCC outcomes, as well as exploring insufficiently studied determinants like area of residence.
