AI Article Synopsis
- - Lymphomas related to breast implants are uncommon, primarily involving anaplastic large-cell lymphomas of T-cell origin, with rare cases of B-cell lymphomas.
- - The report focuses on a 72-year-old woman who experienced pain and worries about her implants, leading to imaging that revealed lymphoma.
- - She was treated through the removal of her implants, the surrounding tissue, and received additional chemotherapy.
Article Abstract
Lymphomas associated with breast implants are rare, and the majority of these are anaplastic large-cell lymphomas of T-cell origin. Very uncommonly B-cell lymphomas associated with implants have been described, and examples of invasive disease are even less commonly reported. This report discusses one such 72-year-old patient who presented with pain and concerns about implant rupture on imaging. Histopathology demonstrated an invasive EBV + large B-cell lymphoma associated with bilateral silicone implants inserted 20 years previously. This was managed with implant explantation, capsulectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy.

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare and aggressive B-cell lymphoma typically associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) and Epstein-Barr virus infections. It classically presents as a malignant effusion in body cavities, but rarely presents with an extracavitary variant characterized by solid tumors in lymph nodes or extranodal sites such as the gastrointestinal tract, skin, lungs, and nervous system. This case report describes an unusual presentation of primary cutaneous extracavitary PEL in an HIV-positive patient that has only been reported in 8 cases previously.

: RAS guanyl-releasing protein 1 (RASGRP1) deficiency is characterized by immune dysregulation and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphoproliferation. Diffuse mesangial sclerosis is one of the infrequent causes of infantile nephrotic syndrome. : Here, we described a 7-year-old girl who was diagnosed with diffuse mesangial sclerosis at 5 months old and subsequently developed chronic bilateral neck swelling at the age of 3 years.

Tuberculosis (TB) is associated with chronic inflammation, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various malignancies, including lung cancer. However, the relationship between TB and hematological malignancies like lymphoma remains less understood. This study aimed to investigate risks of incident malignant lymphoma according to previous TB infection in a large prospective cohort of 347,204 individuals.

Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection represents a significant global health burden, particularly due to its extrahepatic immune-mediated manifestations, such as mixed cryoglobulinemia, associated vasculitis (CryoVas), and non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma (B-NHL), which pose significant challenges. The advent of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) has changed the therapeutic landscape for HCV-related complications.
Areas Covered: This review explores the evolving epidemiology and management of HCV extrahepatic manifestation and lymphoproliferative disorders in the era of DAAs.

Extra-cavitary primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), often associated with human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) infection, represents a rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is predominantly found in individuals with severe immunosuppression. As an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated lymphoma, PEL typically manifests in the context of advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, requiring tailored therapeutic approaches to manage both the lymphoma and underlying immunodeficiency. A 53-year-old male patient from Cape Verde presented with a three-day history of fever, night sweats, right iliac fossa pain, hematochezia, and an unintentional weight loss of five kilograms over the previous two months.
