Computed tomography findings of diffuse gastrointestinal mantle cell lymphoma.

Multiple lymphomatous polyposis is an uncommon type of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, characterized by multiple lymphomatous polyps along the gastrointestinal tract. We present 2 cases of diffuse gastrointestinal involvement and illustrate radiological and pathologic findings.

Intususcepción ileocólica en el adulto como presentación de un linfoma no Hodgkin de intestino delgado / Ileocolic Intussusception in Adults due to Small-Bowel Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

La intususcepción intestinal, definida como la penetración de un segmento intestinal en otro adyacente, es una causa infrecuente de obstrucción intestinal en el adulto. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar el caso de un paciente adulto con intususcepción ileocólica como presentación de un linfoma no Hodgkin de intestino delgado. Este paciente presenta una causa poco frecuente de intususcepción intestinal. Dada lo inespecífico de la clínica, el diagnóstico etiológico suele ser intraoperatorio, precisando resección de la lesión causante y, en el caso de nuestro paciente, quimioterapia adyuvante(AU)

Intestinal intussusception, defined as penetration of an intestinal segment into an adjacent, is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults. The aim of this paper is to present the case of an adult patient with ileocolic intussusception as presenting a non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the small intestine. This patient has a rare cause of intestinal intussusception. Because of its non-specific clinical, etiologic diagnosis is usually intraoperative, requiring resection of the culprit lesion and, in the case of our patient, adjuvant chemotherapy(AU)

Oclusión intestinal por fitobezoar en una paciente con enfermedad diverticular del colon / Intestinal occlusion for fitobezoar in pacente with disease diverticular of colon

La oclusión intestinal es una entidad del abdomen agudo quirúrgico que a diario se atienden en el servicio de urgencias del hospital general "Calixto García". Las causas mecánicas son las más habituales, dentro de ellas el fitobezoar no ocupa un lugar importante, aunque tampoco es rara verla. En los pacientes que han sufrido alguna enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal u operación es probable que ocurra un episodio de oclusión por obstrucción de su luz. El fitobezoar generalmente requiere tratamiento quirúrgico cualquiera que sea su localización. Se citan trabajos que refieren resultados positivos con tratamiento médico a base de celulosa(AU)

B cell lymphoma with mott cell differentiation in a dog

Background: B cell lymphoma with Mott cell differentiation is rarely reported in dogs. This neoplasms has been diagnosed in the gastrointestinal tract and therefore is considered the differential diagnosis of obstruction by foreign body, enteritis and other intestinal neoplasms. The objective of the present study was to describe macroscopic, microscopic and immunohistochemical findings of a B cell lymphoma with Mott cell differentiation in the gastrointestinal tract of a dog.Case: A 7-year-old male German Shepherd dog was referred to necropsy with a mass 12 cm in diameter in the ileum-cecocolic junction, compromising mesenteric lymph nodes. Cytology showed two types of lymphoid cells. Approximately 80-90% of cells were round, with large cytoplasm containing numerous basophilic inclusion corpuscles, round nuclei, condensed chromatin, inconspicuous nucleoli, moderate anisokaryosis and marked anisocytosis. The other cells were round, with scarce basophilic cytoplasm, round nuclei, condensed chromatin and inconspicuous nucleoli. Mild anisokaryosis and anisocytosis and mitotic figures were sometimes identified. Histology revealed the predominance of round cells, with large cytoplasm containing numerous eosinophilic corpuscles (Russel bodies). Neoplastic cells were PAS and PTAH-positive, and toluidine blue-negative. Immunohistochemistry revealed positive immunoreactivity to antibodie...
