Abstract:
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare type of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that commonly affects extranodal sites; however, tracheobronchial involvement is rare. We report the case of a 65-year-old male who presented with cough and dyspnoea. A chest computed tomography (CT) revealed irregular wall thickening of the trachea and bilateral bronchi and bilateral bronchiectasis. A bronchoscopy revealed a diffuse irregular surface of the tracheal and bilateral bronchial mucosa and polyposis-like lesions. He was diagnosed with MCL based on an endobronchial biopsy, and then, the diagnosis was confirmed with a biopsy of the fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid nasal mucosal soft tissue.

Basic Characteristics of Cells
A living cell has a plasma membrane, a bilayer of lipids that separates the aqueous solution inside the cell called the cytoplasm from the outside environment.
Furthermore, a living cell possesses genetic information...

Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
