RESUMEN

CTLA4Ig-primed donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) have been found to promote natural killer (NK) cell-mediated anti-leukemia effect following haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Incorporation of CTLA4Ig in conditioning aided long-term remission in myeloma probably by blocking the CD28-CD86 pro-survival pathway when combined with CTLA4Ig-primed DLI. We explored a similar approach in 12 patients (8-65 years) who had refractory aggressive B-cell lymphoma (R-ABCL) following autologous HCT. They received CTLA4Ig-based reduced-intensity conditioning and sequential CTLA4Ig-primed DLIs on days +7, +21, and +35. None developed acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Two patients developed chronic GVHD. Only 3 patients had disease-progression at 100 days posttransplant with a progression-free and GVHD-free survival at 2 years of 75%. A higher expression of CD80 in tumor cells and a greater proliferation of CD56dim CD16+ NK cells were observed at days +30 and +60 in patients with progression-free survival. We hypothesize that CTLA4Ig, with a greater avidity for CD80, probably interferes with the anti-apoptotic effect mediated through this pathway, and together with early proliferation of mature NK cell when used in conjunction with DLI, this approach might provide a curative option for patients with R-ABCL.

RESUMEN

During 2012-13, we diagnosed 4 patients with extensive skeletal tuberculosis (TB) who were referred to us as cases of bony metastasis with unknown primary. Radiological investigations done outside favoured a diagnosis of disseminated malignancy. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan performed in our institute for localization of primary lesion also suggested metastatic disease. There was no evidence of malignancy on histo-pathological examination (HPE) of the involved sites. The diagnosis of TB was established on characteristics HPE. This article highlights the diagnostic dilemma of PET/CT in cases of TB versus malignancy and the importance of HPE for reaching an accurate diagnosis.

RESUMEN

Cannon ball lesions and atrial thrombosis are seldom seen in clinical practice. A variety of infectious or non infectious conditions are associated with them. A meticulous search is required to delineate the exact etiology.
