Adrenal Masses

Primary bilateral non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the adrenal gland is a very rare entity. Indeed less than 60 cases have been reported in the literature. Hence, we report a case of high-grade lymphoma of both adrenal glands that was found in a young patient of 32 years of age. The patient was admitted in the emergency department of our hospital with a profile of hemorrhagic shock. After stabilization, the imaging investigations demonstrated large bilateral adrenal masses. The CT-scan guided biopsy of both adrenal glands allowed the diagnosis of primary bilateral adrenal NHL. The patient died after the first chemotherapy session. The presence of bilateral adrenal masses associated with a rapid increase of volume should raise the diagnosis of primary adrenal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Although lymphoma may occasionally involve the adrenal glands as part of a generalized disease process, primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is a rare disease. We present a case of a 62-year-old woman with a history of mild/moderate hereditary spherocytosis with a well-compensated baseline haemoglobin, who presented with rapidly progressive symptomatic anaemia. During the diagnostic workup, imaging revealed bilateral large adrenal masses and she was later diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (DLBCL), with the adrenal glands being the dominant site of the disease. The patient was started on systemic chemotherapy, but her disease progressed with neurological involvement which responded to second-line therapy. Her adrenal disease however was refractory to further therapy.

Hodgkin's Lymphomas

ABSTRACT Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas constitute 25 to 40% of all lymphomas. The gastrointestinal tract is the most common site followed by the head and neck area. Salivary gland involvement is a very rare entity and is involved in 0.5 to 5% of all cases. Among all the major salivary glands, the parotid gland is commonly involved followed by the submandibular glands. Misdiagnosis often leads to unnecessary diagnostic procedures, which leads to delay in initiation of appropriate treatment. It is often difficult to diagnose the distinction between lymphoma developing primarily in the parotid gland tissue and in the intraparotid lymph nodes. As per the reports, primary tumors of the parotid gland show no characteristic features on diagnostic imaging, reflecting none of their histological findings. We represent a case of a 61-year-old female who presented with painless, gradually increasing mass in the right parotid region. Imaging studies were suggestive of an infiltrative mass lesion involving right the parotid gland. The patient underwent superficial parotidectomy along with the excision of the part of the deep lobe posterior to submandibular gland with facial nerve preservation. Histopathology of the resected specimen shows infiltrates of lymphocytes into the glandular parenchyma destroying its normal lobular organization and disrupting the normal glandular architecture.

Abstract Background The current literature is scarce as to the outcomes of COVID-19 infection in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients and whether immunosuppressive or chemotherapeutic agents can cause worsening of the patients’ condition during COVID-19 infection. Case presentation Our case is a 59-year-old gentleman who presented to the Emergency Department of the Cancer Institute of Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil on 10th May 2020 with a worsening dyspnea and chest pain which had started 3 days prior to presentation to the Emergency Department. He had a past history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for which he was receiving chemotherapy. Subsequent PCR testing demonstrated that our patient was SARS-CoV-2 positive. Conclusion In this report, we show a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the middle of chemotherapy, presented a mild clinical course of COVID-19 infection.
