Summary
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a fast-growing cancer. This case study details a thigh tumor treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, showing DLBCL
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Hematology
- Pathology
Background:
- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
- DLBCL typically presents as a rapidly growing mass in lymph nodes but can involve extranodal sites.
- Localized DLBCL, while less common, requires specific diagnostic and treatment considerations.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

Primary Lymphoid Organs
Primary lymphoid organs are pivotal in the formation, development, and maturation of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that serve as the backbone of our immune system. This crucial function underscores their fundamental role in maintaining our overall health and immunity. The two primary lymphoid organs of prime importance are the red bone marrow and the thymus.
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
