Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with primary manifestation in gonads--a clinicopathological study
Abstract:
Analysis of 19 cases of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with primary manifestation in gonads, diagnosed during 1984-1990 at AFIP Rawalpindi is presented. It constituted 10.4% of all extranodal lymphomas during the same period in this institute. Testis were more commonly involved. Mean age at diagnosis was 60.4 years and only 11.4% cases were below 50 years of age. Majority of the patients reported early (mean duration was 4.2 months). The mean tumour size was 3.2 cm. In a significant number of cases (43.5%). NHL was associated with hydrocoele. Diffuse large cell lymphoma was the predominant (73.70%) subtype in testicular lymphoma. One case of Burkitt's lymphoma presenting as ovarian mass was also noted. Most of these cases (56.4%) were in le stage according to Ann Arbor staging. More clinical work-up is required to delineate the course of this entity in Pakistan.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Primary Lymphoid Organs
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...
Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
