EBV virus is a herpes virus which affects human and causes Mononucleosis
Infection and may play a role in lymphoma.
lymphoma has two types (H or NH)
This study was performed between 2016-2017 at Tishreen University Hospital –
Oncology department;
we took blood samples and performed ELISA Test (Anti EBNA
IgG) to all patients with lymphoma.
57 patients (31 male 54.4% and 26 female 45.6%) with lymphoma.
Sex doesn't has statistical significance on lymphoma
25-50 year was the most age group affected by lymphoma
We have 26 patients with Hodgkin lymphoma 45.6% and 31 patient with
nonHodgkin lymphoma 54.4%
In our study EBV disease found to have a role in causing lymphoma (P=0.004) but it
doesn't cause a specific type of lymphoma (P=0.06).
We noticed a relationship between the type of Hodgkin lymphoma and EBV disease
(P=0.034) especially Nodular sclerosis and Mixed cellularity type but we didn't notice this
relationship in nonhodgkin lymphoma.
bone marrow involvement (BMI) in Hodgkin's lymphomas is
rare, and there is no clear correlation with prognosis , so this study is to
describe the incidence of BMI and to evaluate the prognosis revalence of
BMI.
20 Syrian adult patients from both sexes underwent study at Al-Mouassat
Hospital diagnosed with primary gastric E1 MALT lymphoma, Associated
with H.P. and treated only with H.P. eradication. This treatment led to H.P.
eradication in all patients (
100%), and complete regression of 85% of
Lymphoma.
Relapse did not appear during follow up period which exceeded 5 years in
all patients, 15% cured after chemotherapy without surgery nor
radiotherapy.
There is a group of tumors share the same nuclear size <3 red blood cells
and can be differentiated only by immunostaining.
All thoracic small cells tumors diagnosed between 1998-2001 during 4 years,
at AL ASSAD UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL – DAMASCUS UNIV
ERSITY.
There were 103 cases (66 cases of small cell carcinoma, 30 malignant
lymphoma, and 7 cases of PNET ).
We performed the immunostaining in 31 cases of small cell carcinoma ,all
of them were malignant lymphomas and the 7 cases of PNET*.
PNET cannot be diagnosed without immunostaining.
We must demand the immunostaining if there is a doubt ( clinical or
pathological) about the real nature of a small cell tumor.
