Background: High doses of methotrexate (MTX) are often used in various chemotherapy protocols to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in children, but its delayed elimination increases the occurrence of adverse events, such as bone marrow suppression. The aim of this study was to investigate the elimination of MTX at 24 and 48 hours. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed electronic medical records of ALL or NHL pediatric patients who received $5g/m^2$ MTX infusion over 24 hours (between June, 2012 and July, 2018) at the Yonsei University Health System, Korea. The delayed elimination of MTX concentrations was assessed with 100 or $150{\mu}M$ MTX at 24 hours, and 2 or $5{\mu}M$ at 48 hours. Results: Among the 85 MTX cycles administered, 23 cycles were classified in delayed elimination group, and 62 cycles showed normal elimination. At 24 hours, the delayed elimination group with MTX concentration > $100{\mu}M$ showed higher percentage than group with MTX concentration < $100{\mu}M$ (45.8% vs. 19.7%, p = 0.015). However, no differences were observed at $150{\mu}M$ MTX (p = 0.66). At 48 hours, the delayed elimination was higher than the normal elimination at both concentration baselines (p < 0.001 at $2{\mu}M$, p = 0.024 at $5{\mu}M$). Conclusions: MTX concentrations greater than $100{\mu}M$ show high probability of delayed elimination at 24 hours. When MTX levels are above normal, leucovorin and hydration regimens should be continued to prevent delayed elimination.

Natural Killer/T-cell(NK/TC) lymphoma is a rare disease of oral and maxillofacial region with an aggressive clinical course, showed unusual clinical manifestations. Prognosis is generally poor and the disease is invariably fatal after systemic dissemination. A case of nasal NK/TC non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the left maxilla that showed unusual clinical manifestations and a fulminant course of disease, are described with literature reviews. A 81-year-old female patient presented with rapidly growing ulceration and general malaise after extraction of right upper second premolar NK/TC lymphoma was subsequently detected by biopsy. rapid and wide invasion from maxilla to mandible developed within 10 days and multiple metastasis to whole body was after a few weeks. Although the time relationship is not clear, local invasion and multiple metastasis could be dissemination from localized disease of NK/TC. As seen in my case, the course can be excessively aggressive and fulminant even though it first appeared as a localized ulceractive lesion. She is expired 2 months after biopsy. Positivity of immunohistochemical stain (CD56, LCA, UCHL-1, CD3), which is a specific characteristic of NK/TC, may serve as a factor showing a poor prognosis of a malignant lymphoma

Lymphoproliferative disorders, manifesting either as a primary lesion or as part of a generalized process, rarely involve the breast. The primary malignant lymphoma of the breast is rare. The cytologic features of this neoplasm have not been reported in Korea thus far. We described a case of primary malignant lymphoma of the breast, as diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in an 84-year-old female. FNAC smears showed high cellularity. The main cytologic feature observed was a carpeting of monotonous, atypical, enlarged lymphoid cells. These lymphocytes showed relatively round elliptical nuclei with some indentation. One or more prominent nucleoli were seen. Biopy from the breast mass revealed diagnostic features of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell type.

Objective: HBV infection may cause damage to the immune system and induce lymphomas as a result. Some scholars have indicated that HBsAg(+) reflecting HBV infection may have a relationship with lymphoma development. This study was designed to find out the specific stage of HBV infection which may be related to lymphoma. Methods: HBV serum markers, including HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb, HBcAb were tested among 100 lymphoma patients and 100 other patients who were diagnosed with non-lymphoma diseases in the First Hospital of Jilin University from 2010.1.1 to 2012.12.31. Three subgroups were established depending on different combinations of HBV serum markers. Subgroup 1 was HBsAg(+) representing the early stage of HBV infection. Subgroup 2 was HbsAb(+) representing convalescence and Subgroup 3 was "HbsAg and HbsAb negative combined with other positive markers" representing the intermediate stage of HBV infection. Chi square tests were used to compare the rates of three subgroups in lymphoma and control groups. Results: The rates of Subgroup were 13% and 5% respectively, an association between HBsAg and lymphoma being found (P<0.05). There was no difference between rate of Subgroup 2 of lymphoma group (15%) and that of control group (16%). In lymphoma group and control group, the rate of Subgroup 3 was different (12% vs 4%). This evidence was not specific to T cell lymphoma, B cell lymphoma or Hodgkin's lymphoma. Conclusions: Among serum markers of HBV, the combination of serum markers representing the early stage and intermediate stage of HBV infection have a relationship with lymphoma. Convalescence from HBV infection appears to have no relationship with lymphoma.

Histologic findings and radio-therapeutic technique are included with longterm follow-up data. Local radiotherapy is a curative treatment of choice due to longterm NED survival with preservation of voice.

목적 : 두경부에 국한된 1기, 2기 대세포성(diffuse large cell) 비호치킨 림프종의 항암화학방사선 병용요법 시 방사선 조사영역 내의 재발을 예방하기 위한 적정 방사선 조사선량을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1985년 5월부터 1998년 12월까지 국한성 두경부 대세포성 림프종으로 항암화학요법 후 방사선치료를 받은 53명을 대상으로 하였다. 나이는 13세부터 69세까지였으며 중앙값은 49세였다. 남녀 비는 1.65대 1이었고 1기, 2기 환자가 각각 27명, 26명이었다. 종양 크기별로 5 cm 미만이 30명, 5 cm 이상이 23명이었다. 원발부위는 경부림프절 22명, 편도 20명, 비인두 4명, 설기저부 3명, 부비동 2명, 후두 1명, 연구개 1명이었다. 항암화학요법은 1명을 제외하고 3회 이상 시행되었으며 방사선치료는 48명이 원발부위와 경부임파선을, 5명이 원발부위만 치료하였다. 생존율, 무병생존율, 조사영역 내 무재발생존율과 방사선 조사선량에 따른 방사선 조사영역 내에서의 재발빈도를 조사하였다. 결과 : 항암화학요법 후 44명$(83\%)$이 완전관해 되었고 연이은 방사선치료 후 53명 모두 완전관해 되었다. 12명$(23\%)$이 재발하였고 그중 2명은 방사선 조사영역 내 재발이었고 방사선 조사영역 바깥 재발은 11명으로 복강 및 골반내 림프절이 가장 많았다. 방사선 조사선량 별 조사영역 내 재발은 $30\~35\;Gy$에서 7명 중 1명, $35\~40\;Gy$에서 16명중 1명이었고 40 Gy 이상에서는 재발이 없었다. 방사선 조사영역 내 재발에 유의한 예후인자는 없었으나 5 cm 이상인 종양에서 재발하였고 5 cm 미만인 종양은 30 Gy에서도 재발하지 않았다. 10 년 방사선 조사영역내 무재발 생존율, 무병생존율, 전체생존율은 각각 $96\%,\;76\%,\;75\%$였다. 결론 : 국한성 두경부 대세포성 림프종에서 항암화학방사선 병용요법 시 종양의 크기가 5 cm 미만인 경우에는 30Gy의 방사선 조사선량으로도 국소제어를 할 수 있다. 따라서 방사선치료에 따르는 구강건조증을 최소화시킬 수 있을 것이다. 5 cm 이상의 종양에서는 30 Gy 이상의 방사선 조사 선량이 필요하리라 생각된다.

Polymorphisms of inflammation-related genes have been found to be associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or some of its subtypes, but only a few relevant data have been reported in China. In this study, the Snapshot method was used to assess genetic variation; a total of 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for 6 inflammatory factors in 157 NHL cases (64 Uygur ethnic subjects, 93 Han Chinese) and 435 controls (231 Uygur and 204 Han Chinese) were studied from the Xinjiang province of China. Haplotype distribution was estimated using PHASE 2.3 software. Statistical differences in the genotype and haplotype frequencies between case and control groups were also considered and estimated. For the Han population, the geneotype distributions for TNF-${\alpha}rs1800629$, TNF-${\alpha}rs1800630$, IL-6 rs1800795, IL-6 rs1800797, NF-KB1 rs1585215 and TLR-4 rs4986790 showed significant differences between the case and control groups (p<0.05). The TNF-${\alpha}$ gene frequencies of ACG and CCA haplotypes in the cases were higher than in the controls (OR=2.45, 95% CI: 1.55-3.89, p=0.0002, OR=2.53, 95% CI: 1.10-5.80, p=0.029, respectively), and the same findings were detected for TNF-${\beta}$ gene CA haplotype (OR=1.87, 95% CI: 1.21-2.90, p=0.0054). However, for the Uygur population, no such significant differences were detected within the gene-type distribution of the 14 SNPs. The TNF-${\alpha}$ gene frequency of the CCA haplotype between the two groups (OR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.11-3.51, p=0.021) revealed a statistically significant difference. Our results showed that polymorphic variations of inflammation-related genes could be important to the NHL etiology of the Han population, and that these may only have limited influence on the Uygur population.
