Article Abstract
Background: The diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial mature T/NK-cell neoplasms is challenging because of their rarity, morphological heterogeneity and complex immunophenotype with scarce available data describing their clinical and microscopic aspects. Therefore, in this study, we investigated a series of mature T/NK-cell neoplasms affecting this anatomical region and provided an updated literature review.
Methods: Cases diagnosed as mature T/NK-cell lymphomas affecting the oral and maxillofacial region were retrospectively retrieved from six pathology files and their diagnoses were confirmed using haematoxylin and eosin-stained slides, immunohistochemical reactions and in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) detection. Patients' clinical data were collected from their pathology forms.
Results: A total of 22 cases were included in this study. Eleven (50%) consisted of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphomas, nasal type; eight (36.4%) were peripheral T-cell lymphomas, NOS; two (9.1%) were adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphomas, and one (4.5%) was an ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Overall, males predominated, with a mean age of 55.7 years. The palate was the most affected site (50%), and tumours usually presented as destructive and painful ulcers. EBV was present in all cases of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma nasal type but was absent in the other subtypes.
Conclusion: Among mature T/NK-cell lymphomas of the oral and maxillofacial region, extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS predominated. Older men were the most affected patients, and this heterogeneous group of neoplasms has a very aggressive clinical behaviour.

This session included 51 cases submitted to the workshop "Progress in T- and NK-cell Lymphomas and Leukemias" by the Society for Hematopathology and European Association for Haematopathology under "Blood/Bone Marrow-Based Mature T- and NK-Cell Leukemias/Lymphomas" or "T/NK-cell neoplasms with a Leukemic Presentation." Entities encompassed T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia, T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGLL), natural killer (NK)-LGLL/chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of NK cells, adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, aggressive NK-cell leukemia, and their mimics. Submitted cases illustrated classic and variant morphology, immunophenotype, and clinical features; the overlaps with reactive T-cell /NK-cell lymphoproliferations; and challenges in differentiating these entities from other T-cell/NK-cell neoplasms with a leukemic presentation.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows cell classification using genome-wide transcriptional state; however, high-dimensional transcriptomic profiles, and the unsupervised analyses employed to interpret them, provide a systematically different view of biology than well-established functional/lineage definitions of immunocytes. Understanding these differences and limits is essential for accurate interpretation of these rich data. We present the Rhesus Immune Reference Atlas (RIRA), the first immune-focused macaque single-cell multi-tissue atlas.

Primary head and neck lymphoid neoplasms(PHNLN) are described as a series of lymphoid system-derived neoplasms which originally arising from head and neck region. Our study is aimed to present a panoramic view of PHNLN among adolescent and young adult(AYA) patients aged from 15 to 39 years-old. The individual patient information was obtained from Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results(SEER) database.

Article Synopsis
- * Findings indicated that higher levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) significantly lowered the risk of Hodgkin lymphoma and showed a weaker negative association with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
- * No causal relationship was found between physical activity and the risk of overall lymphoma, mature T/NK-cell lymphomas, or follicular lymphoma, emphasizing the specific impact on Hodgkin lymphoma and DLBCL.
