This brief report describes the cytologic findings in paratracheal aspirate smears from a 74-year-old Caucasian woman with the history [...]
Abstract Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is rare. Clinical and histological differential diagnosis of systemic lymphoma and sarcoidosis continues to be a challenge. The first case report in the German and English literature of PCNSL and synchronous sarcoidosis is presented. Synchronous mediastinal lymphadenopathy suggestive of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) or sarcoidosis was noted. Both conditions require [...]
We present here a rare case of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of alveolar mucosa with regard to mandible associated with sarcoid-like reaction of cervical lymph nodes in a female patient in the absence of clinical evidence of systemic sarcoidosis. The relevant literature including pathogenesis is also discussed. (Source: Table of Contents : Indian Journal [...]
