Article Abstract

Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a major complication in patients with diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Diabetes mellitus (DM) has deleterious effects on the immune system resulting in an increased risk of infections. We evaluated patients with DLBCL who started frontline treatment with R-CHOP, and compared outcomes according to presence of DM comorbidity. Between 2013 and 2018, 218 patients with DLBCL were included. 46 patients (21%) had DM. Rate of admissions for FN was higher for patients with DM (0.7 vs. 0.46 admissions/patient,  = .016), also after age and gender-matched subgroup analysis ( = .004). Improved glycemic control during FN hospitalizations was associated with shorter hospitalizations. Metformin was associated with improved median overall survival in diabetic patients (89 vs. 64 months,  = .018). In conclusion, Patients with DLBCL and DM had higher rates of FN hospitalizations. Improved glycemic control during FN hospitalization was associated with shorter length of stay.

Primary bladder diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: A rare case report.

Int J Surg Case Rep

September 2025

Department of Urology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Kunming Medical University, Yunnan Province, China. Electronic address:

Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), originates primarily from lymph nodes, with a small proportion arising extranodally in sites such as the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. Given the general absence of lymphoid tissue in the bladder, primary bladder DLBCL is exceptionally rare.

Case Presentation: This case report describes an 83-year-old male patient with a bladder mass, initially suspected as cystitis glandularis, ultimately diagnosed via pathological examination as DLBCL.

Introduction And Importance: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma, yet primary renal involvement is rare, constituting less than 1 % of renal malignancies. A case of non-germinal center B-cell-like (non-GCB) DLBCL with BCL-6 positivity is particularly unique. Conventionally, BCL-6 is linked to germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) subtypes.

To evaluate whether age modifies the association between the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and overall survival (OS) in patients aged ≥ 18 years with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), we conducted a multi-centre retrospective study of 552 patients. Multivariable Cox regression with restricted cubic spline (RCS) modelling showed that GNRI was significantly associated with OS, but the relationship was non-linear (P for non-linearity = 0.0158).

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) requires accurate therapeutic response assessment. This study evaluates the efficacy and prognostic value of [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) using the Deauville 5-point scale and maximum standardized uptake value (ΔSUVmax) methods in DLBCL patients. A retrospective study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2022, including 60 DLBCL patients.

Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is one of the rarest primary malignancies of the heart. This report describes a rare presentation of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in a 61-year-old woman from Iran who presented with weakness, dyspnea, and bilateral lower extremity edema, especially on the right side that progressively worsened over 2 years. Initial diagnostic workup, including laboratory tests, color Doppler ultrasound, and echocardiography, revealed a large immobile mass attached to the RA wall.
