Jaundice as a paraneoplastic phenomenon in a T-cell lymphoma
1Department of Hematology/Oncology, Children's Hospital of St. Paul, Minnesota.
Abstract:
An adolescent male developed severe unexplained cholestatic jaundice 3 mo before diagnosis of mediastinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (T-cell, late thymic phenotype). There was no anatomic obstruction to bile flow, no evidence for an infectious etiology, and no neoplastic involvement of the liver or bile ducts. A paraneoplastic phenomenon is postulated because the jaundice resolved after treatment of the lymphoma. We suggest that occult lymphoma must be added to the differential diagnosis of unexplained intrahepatic cholestasis.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
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...
