Composite or collision tumors in the central nervous system can significantly impact disease progression and metastasis, potentially affecting treatment efficacy. Studying the mechanisms associated with these tumors can provide neuro-oncologists with insights into tumor diversity, progression, and aid in the development of novel treatments. We encountered an 84-year-old female with memory disturbance who presented with tumors consistent with wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase high-grade glioma and low-grade B-cell lymphoma at the same site.

Method: The study uses data on Japanese traffic accidents compiled by Japan's National Police Agency, restricting the analysis to collisions for which we could determine whether the primary party's car was equipped with an AEB system. Poisson mixed-effects regression analyses are conducted using data for 2022 and 2023 to quantify the collision avoidance performance of cars that were first registered in 2021 and equipped with AEB systems compared with cars without AEB systems that were first registered in 2015 or 2016.

Pseudoprogression, often misinterpreted as glioblastoma progression on MRI, results from treatment-induced inflammation and can resolve without additional intervention. This study investigated the role of leucine-rich α-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) in the glioblastoma microenvironment. Leucine-rich α-2 glycoprotein 1 is associated with inflammation and prognosis in various diseases and its blood concentrations reflect disease-related inflammation.

By analyzing 173 nTFHL cases, we identified 36 driver genes, including 4 novel ones (TET3, HLA-C, NRAS, and KLF2). Then, we classified nTFHL cases into four molecular subgroups by major driver alterations.

However, multiple reports have documented lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) in patients with SLE undergoing MMF therapy, predominantly developing in the central nervous system and requiring aggressive treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.Case ReportWe herein report the case of a 58-year-old female patient with SLE who developed cervical, hepatic hilar, and para-aortic lymphadenopathy 8 years after initiating MMF treatment.

A 99-year-old woman was detected with cutaneous mass located in left greater trochanter area and buttock, which was suspected to be malignant lymphoma. Computed tomography revealed few regional lymph node enlargement.

Here we show that NK-cell-specific Trp53 disruption in mice leads to the development of NK-cell lymphomas after long latency, which involve not only the hematopoietic system but also the salivary glands. Before tumor onset, Trp53 knockout causes extensive gene expression changes, resulting in immature NK-cell expansion, exclusively in the salivary glands.

Adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is an aggressive peripheral T-cell neoplasm with a poor prognosis. T-cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domains (TIGIT) is an immune checkpoint receptor expressed on T and natural killer cells. Although increased TIGIT expression in the tumour microenvironment is associated with poor prognosis in various neoplasms, its relevance in ATLL remains unknown.

The prevalence and incidence differ between male and female individuals, and the mechanism underlying this difference remains largely unclear. In the present study, we collected subsynovial connective tissues from six male and six female patients diagnosed with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome during surgery.

A better understanding of the genetic alterations and their functional roles in ENKTCL could help improve patient stratification and treatments. In this study, we performed a comprehensive genetic analysis of 178 ENKTCL cases to delineate the landscape of mutations, copy number alterations (CNA), and structural variations, identifying 34 driver genes including six previously unappreciated ones, namely, HLA-B, HLA-C, ROBO1, CD58, POT1, and MAP2K1.

T-cell lymphomas derived from TFH cells have distinct characteristics. Additionally, in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification 5th edition, three lymphomas were introduced as independent disease entities with TFH cell origin.

In pathological diagnosis of malignant lymphoma, FCM serves as valuable auxiliary information during the diagnosis process, offering useful insights into predicting the major class (superclass) of subtypes. By incorporating both images and FCM data into the classification process, we can develop a method that mimics the diagnostic process of pathologists, enhancing the explainability.

F-FDG PET/CT is regarded as a modality utilized for the purpose of lesion localization, staging and assessment of treatment response in patients with lymphoma. However, it is difficult that we diagnose among multifocal lymphoma, IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), or a combination of both conditions when confronted with multiple sites of F-FDG uptake with heightened serum IgG4 levels. We present a case of a 72-year-old male who was suspected of Sjögren's syndrome based on symptoms of xerostomia accompanied by swelling of the bilateral upper eyelid and salivary glands.

This patient was treated with the BV+AVD (brentuximab vedotin, doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) protocol for LR-CHL but progressed before completing chemotherapy. The pathological imaging showed the typical findings of LR-CHL at the first onset and first progression.

This case had a unique immunophenotype. A 71-year-old female patient with rheumatoid arthritis receiving MTX presented with fatigue 1 week after the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
