Maltoma della tiroide: presentazione di un caso clinico non associato a tiroidite di hashimoto
2005
I maltomi della tiroide sono rare neoplasie della ghiandola originati dalle cellule B parafollicolari, frequentemente associati a tiroidite autoimmune di Hashimoto. Gli Autori propongono un caso di linfoma tiroideo primitivo in cui nè l'evoluzione clinica, nè i dati strumentali e citologici preoperatori, nè l'esame istologico eseguito sul resecato chirurgico hanno evidenziato l'associazione con una tiroidite pregressa. Il caso appare interessante per la comparsa a circa 6 mesi dall'intervento di una grave forma di aplasia selettiva della serie rossa (pure red cell aplasia, PRCA) ub assenza di autoanticorpi o di segni di pregressa infezione virale, con remissione completa dopo trattamento co…
Management and long-term follow-up of early stage H. pylori-associated gastric MALT-lymphoma in clinical practice: An Italian, multicentre study
2009
Abstract Background/Aim Data on management and long-term follow-up of Helicobacter pylori -associated MALT-lymphoma in clinical practice are scanty. We evaluate the long-term efficacy of H. pylori eradication on low-grade MALT-lymphoma, and the efficacy of further therapies in refractory patients. Methods This study enrolled patients with stages I–II 1 MALT-lymphoma and H. pylori infection. H. pylori eradication was attempted in all patients. Patients with lymphoma persistence or progression following H. pylori treatments received further lymphoma treatments. Both 5-year and disease-free survivals were calculated. Results Sixty patients (stage I/II 1 : 50/10) were followed up for a median t…
Sjogren syndrome and parotid marginal zone lymphoma: Report of a case and review of literature
2020
Five percent of the cancers in the parotid region are non-hodgkin lymphomas. This lymphoma, involving the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), is called MALToma. A chronic autoimmune inflammatory process of the parotid gland, such as Sjogren's syndrome, results in an increased incidence of parotid MALToma. Biopsy of the parotid is essential for appropriate diagnosis; this can then be completed by radiotherapy, chemotherapy or therapy with monoclonal antibodies according to the stage of the disease. This study shows a clinical case of a 50-year-old patient with Sjogren's syndrome who developed a parotid MALToma.
