Abstract:
A 30-year-old man who had a painless mass in the right scrotum since 5 years ago underwent biopsy followed by right high orchiectomy. The tumor originating from the epididymis was histologically diagnosed as a malignant lymphoma (a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma). The tumor grew very slowly even though the MIB-1 index was more than 90%. The patient underwent six courses of R-CHOP chemotherapy, intrathecal administration of methotrexate, and radiation therapy to the contralateral testis. Currently, 10 months after surgery, the patient has shown no clinical evidence of recurrence.

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...
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...
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
