Concurrent myasthenia gravis-related cervical thymoma in a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a case report.

Authors:
Chutima Kunacheewa Sattawut Wongwiangjunt Sanya Sukpanichnant

J Med Case Rep 2022 Jan 12;16(1):10. Epub 2022 Jan 12.

Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.

Background: Cervical thymoma is a rare thymic epithelial neoplasm. Evidence supports an increased risk of second primary malignancies in patients with thymoma. We report a rare case of a patient with synchronous cervical thymoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Case Presentation: An 81-year-old Thai woman was referred for further treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. While waiting for a review of the original pathological examination of a mass in the left neck and a mass in the left arm, the attending physician noticed ptosis of the upper eyelids, which was proven to be caused by myasthenia gravis. The final pathology review confirmed that the arm mass was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, but the neck mass was cervical thymoma, type B1, not diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Interestingly, the patient reported that the arm mass had been present for 2 years, while the neck mass had grown rapidly in the past month. A diagnostic challenge had arisen when the initial morphological evaluation was not performed with care, causing the first pathologist to misinterpret that the neoplastic cells in both masses were the same.

Conclusion: Concurrent cervical thymoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma were proven after a careful pathology review, leading to better clinical management.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with the highest incidence, accounting for approximately one-third of NHL cases. Given the accumulated scientific publications related to the DLBCL domain, this study aimed to provide a comprehensive review of DLBCL studies from this millennium using the bibliometric method. With a strict retrieval strategy applied in the Web of Science database, a total of 10,869 publications from 2001 to 2020 were obtained and exported. Read More

BC Cancer Centre for Lymphoid Cancer, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma are the most commonly encountered non-Hodgkin lymphomas in clinical practice. Both are biologically heterogeneous, with management strategies that are becoming increasingly complex. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma typically exhibits aggressive behavior but can be cured in the majority of cases with immunochemotherapy. Read More

Diffuse Ions Coordinate Dynamics in a Ribonucleoprotein Assembly.

Proper ionic concentrations are required for the functional dynamics of RNA and ribonucleoprotein (RNP) assemblies. While experimental and computational techniques have provided many insights into the properties of chelated ions, less is known about the energetic contributions of diffuse ions to large-scale conformational rearrangements. To address this, we present a model that is designed to quantify the influence of diffuse monovalent and divalent ions on the dynamics of biomolecular assemblies. Read More

Advances and Challenges in the Investigation of Metastasis in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), an aggressive cancer of the B cells, is the most common pathological type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and the typical heterogeneity of the disease is due to metastasis, which indicates a poor prognosis. Currently, the key mechanism of metastasis remains largely unknown, and research is focusing on the same in DLBCL. Recent studies have focused on the role of mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), the extracellular matrix (ECM), chemokines, cancer stem cells, and non-coding RNAs in DLBCL.
