Article Abstract

Background: This systematic review aimed to investigate the radiological features of lymphomas and leukaemias affecting the jaws.

Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. Articles that contained sufficient radiographic examinations (periapical, panoramic or computed tomography images) for individual cases were included. Additionally, either immunohistochemical or molecular confirmation was required prior to inclusion. Three authors evaluated and described the image quality and radiological features.

Results: From an initial 1079 articles screened, 129 cases were included, containing 88 tomographic, 76 panoramic and 26 periapical examinations. The quality of the majority of images was sufficient for evaluation. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, leukemic infiltration, plasmablastic lymphoma and extranodal Natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type were the most common subtypes. Involved teeth presented with mobility in 37.2% of the cases and a provisional diagnosis of inflammatory/infectious dental disease was considered in 49.2% of cases. Computed tomography exams were available for 76% of the cases, with most presented with an osteolytic lesion with ill-defined borders. Periosteal reactions were uncommon.

Conclusion: Lymphoma/leukaemia infiltrates of the jaw bones are usually of high-grade subtypes and rarely present with periosteal reactions.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration and integrity index of circulating cell-free DNA (ccf-DNA) as biomarkers for the detection and monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD) in pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Comparison with a validated methodology for the quantification of monoclonal rearrangements of the IGH gene was made. Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples were collected from 10 pediatric patients with B-ALL at diagnosis, remission, and maintenance phases.

Previous studies have shown that the pre-transplant C-reactive protein (CRP)/platelet ratio (CP ratio) is a predictor of survival. The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical significance of CP ratio in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT). The cohort included patients with ML who underwent first alloHCT from 2007 to 2021.

T-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia (T-PLL) is an aggressive and rare post-thymic T cell malignancy, highly refractory to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapeutics. While extranodal involvement is common, solid organ invasion is rare. We present the case of a 76-year-old man who developed acute renal failure secondary to T-PLL renal infiltration.

Objective: To report the incidence and survival patterns for children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYA) cancer survivors over the past 20 years.

Methods: CAYA (under 25 years old) cancer survivors from 17 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries from 2000 to 2020 were analyzed. A joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the incidence and 5-year survival rate.
