Abstract:
A 73-year-old woman with a lymphoproliferative disorder had successive stages of reactive lymphadenopathy in sequence, a multifocal type of Castleman's disease and angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. The disease ran an aggressive course and was associated with disseminated Kaposi's sarcoma. The linkage between the various types of lymphoproliferative disorders that presented in the same patient, as well as the association with Kaposi's sarcoma, are discussed.

02:07Tumor Progression
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
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...

01:27Cryptococcal Meningitis
Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening opportunistic infection predominantly associated with HIV/AIDS, accounting for over 100,000 deaths annually worldwide. However, it also affects individuals with other forms of immunosuppression, including those undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, organ transplant recipients, patients with innate immunodeficiencies, and individuals with hematological disorders. The infection is caused mainly by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii,...
