BACKGROUND: Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) with variant histopathology or aberrant immunophenotype is exceedingly rare and there is paucity of data with regards to its clinical characteristics and course. CASE REPORT: Herein, we present three cases of NLPHL with aberrant immunophenotype or variant histopathological picture, which displayed distinct clinical and imaging findings. These case reports involved a patient with CD30 and CD20 positivity without Reed-Sternberg cells present, a NLPHL patient with aggressive, persistent disease activity with progressive transformation to germinal centres, and a patient with combined morphology of NLPHL and classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. CONCLUSION: Aberrant immunophenotype/variant NLPHL might represent a distinct form of NLPHL, sharing characteristics with classical Hodgkin, non-Hodgkin lymphomas or benign, progressive transformation of germinal centre lymphadenopathy.

The present study describes a patient aged 70 with very high-risk AML who successfully received a nonmyeloablative matched unrelated donor allograft shortly following SARS-CoV-2 infection, which manifested with mild cough, interstitial abnormalities on chest CT, and pancytopenia with profound bone marrow biopsy histological alterations. In parallel, our study provides bone marrow biopsy data in a series of contemporary patients with serious haematological diseases who had a bone marrow biopsy performed within two weeks of PCR confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study is notable because there are no published data describing the bone marrow biopsy changes observed in patients with haematological malignancies and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Finally, it is suggested that nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for very high-risk haematological malignancies can be successfully performed following recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
