Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are cancers of the lymphatic system. Hodgkin's lymphoma is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells and usually involves the lymph nodes above the diaphragm. Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas can be of B-cell or T-cell origin and often spread beyond the lymph nodes to other organs. Staging investigations are used to determine the extent of disease, which guides treatment, which may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, stem cell transplantation or watchful waiting. Prognosis depends on disease stage and other risk factors.
Testicular tumors are rare.
1 – 2 % of all malignant tumors.
Most common malignancy in men in the 15 to 35 year age group.
Benign lesions represent a greater percentage of cases in children than in adults.
Most curable solid neoplasm
Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
SCC of the skin is a malignant tumor of keratinocytes, arising in the epidermis.
SCC usually arises in epidermal precancerous lesions and, depending on etiology and level of differentiation, varies in its aggressiveness.
The lesion is a plaque or a nodule with varying degrees of keratinization in the nodule and/or on the surface.
Thumb rule:
Undifferentiated SCC: is soft and has no hyperkeratosis;
Differentiated SCC: is hard on palpation and has hyperkeratosis.
Exposure:
Sunlight. Phototherapy, PUVA (oral psoralen + UVA). Excessive photochemotherapy can lead to promotion of SCC, particularly in patients with skin phototypes I and II or in patients with history of previous exposure to ionizing radiation or methotrexate treatment for psoriasis.
Lesions :
Indurated papule, plaque, or nodule ; adherent thick keratotic scale or hyperkeratosis ; when eroded or ulcerated, the lesion may have a crust in the center and a firm, hyperkeratotic, elevated margin

Atypical pulmonary metastasis: the radiologic findingsThorsang Chayovan
Pulmonary metastasis is common, with the lungs acting as a filter for cancer cells from the lymphatic system. While multiple, round nodules in random distribution are typical, atypical presentations can include poorly-defined lesions, cavitation, calcification, hemorrhage, pneumothorax, airspace opacities, tumor emboli, endobronchial growths, solitary masses, or vessels within tumors. Certain primary cancers like sarcomas are also linked to specific radiologic appearances of pulmonary metastases. Awareness of atypical presentations helps avoid misdiagnosis versus primary lung disease.

This document discusses neoplasia and the differences between benign and malignant tumors. Benign tumors are slow-growing, localized masses composed of well-differentiated cells that lack the ability to metastasize. Malignant tumors vary in differentiation and growth rate, have the ability to invade surrounding tissues and metastasize to distant sites, and can ultimately lead to patient death if not treated. The prognosis of a patient with a tumor depends on factors like the tumor's growth rate, size, site, cell type, presence of metastasis, and the patient's overall health.
This document provides an overview of neoplasia (abnormal growths) and cancer. It defines neoplasms and tumors, and distinguishes between benign and malignant types. Common cancer statistics in Bangladesh are presented. The key similarities and differences between hyperplasia and neoplasia, as well as benign versus malignant tumors are discussed. Various types of neoplasms are classified and examples are provided based on tissue of origin. Important cancer-related terminology like carcinoma, sarcoma, metastasis and anaplasia are explained. The document concludes with a comparison of carcinoma and sarcoma.
1) Salivary gland tumors are diverse in histopathology and include both benign and malignant neoplasms. The parotid gland is the most common site.
2) Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign parotid tumor, comprising 80% of cases. Surgical excision is the primary treatment but recurrence is common after enucleation without a margin.
3) Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor. Treatment involves surgical resection with or without adjuvant radiation or chemotherapy depending on grade and stage. Prognosis depends on these factors with 5-year survival rates ranging from 90% for low grade to 40% for high grade disease.
This document discusses the cytologic diagnosis of metastatic malignancies of unknown primary origin via fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. It notes that FNA cytology is highly accurate and can help determine the primary site and modify patient management. Metastatic malignancies of unknown primary account for 8% of all cancers and up to 15% of oncology referrals. A clinico-pathologic approach incorporating cytomorphology, immunohistochemistry, and patterns of metastasis is recommended. Several case examples are provided to demonstrate this approach.
This document provides an overview of neoplasia (abnormal growths) and cancer. It defines key terms like tumour, neoplasm, and neoplasia. It classifies tumours and outlines the differences between benign and malignant tumours. Malignant tumours are poorly differentiated, invade locally, metastasize, and show features of anaplasia. The document also discusses cancer risk factors, molecular basis of cancer involving genetic mutations, carcinogenic agents like chemicals and radiation, tumour growth and angiogenesis, staging and grading of tumours, and routes of tumour spread.
Grading and staging of tumors is important for determining cancer prognosis and treatment. Grading is based on how differentiated the tumor cells appear, from well-differentiated (grade I) to undifferentiated (grade IV). Staging characterizes tumor spread using the TNM system - primary Tumor size, regional Lymph Node involvement, and distant Metastases. Higher grades and stages indicate more aggressive cancers with poorer survival rates. Tumor markers can also provide information about cancer presence, response to treatment, and recurrence, but lack specificity on their own for diagnosis.
The document discusses pancreatic neoplasms, including mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas with liver and lymph node metastases. Key details include that mucinous cystic neoplasms are premalignant tumors exclusively seen in women, typically located in the pancreas tail or body. Imaging findings on CT and MRI are described. The document also discusses pancreatic adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, cystic neoplasms such as IPMN and SCN, and considerations for determining resectability of pancreatic tumors based on vascular involvement.
Immediate complications of blood transfusionDur E Zahra
This document discusses the immediate complications that can occur from blood transfusions. It describes immune-mediated complications like hemolytic transfusion reactions, febrile non-hemolytic reactions, allergic reactions, and anaphylaxis. It also discusses non-immune mediated complications such as fluid overload, hypothermia, and electrolyte toxicity. For each complication, it provides details on pathogenesis, clinical features, recommended treatments, and methods for prevention.
Hemolytic anemia is caused by the premature breakdown of red blood cells, leading to decreased hemoglobin and red blood cell counts. There are inherited and acquired causes. The approach involves taking a medical history, physical exam, hematological and biochemical investigations like complete blood count and peripheral smear, and treating any underlying cause or complications. The hallmark diagnostic test is a positive direct antiglobulin test. Management may include glucocorticoids, splenectomy, or rituximab depending on the specific cause.
This document discusses patterns of lymph node hyperplasia. It begins by describing the normal anatomy of a lymph node and then discusses various causes of lymph node hyperplasia including infectious, immune, and neoplastic causes. Various patterns of lymph node hyperplasia are classified including follicular, paracortical, sinus, diffuse, and mixed patterns. Specific types of follicular, paracortical, sinus, and mantle/marginal zone hyperplasia are described in detail. The document compares the architectural and cytological features of follicular hyperplasia versus follicular lymphoma. References for further information are also provided.

The document discusses immunity, defining it as the body's ability to resist harmful organisms and toxins. It describes two types of immunity: innate immunity, which is inborn, and acquired immunity, also known as adaptive immunity, which develops in response to antigens. The key aspects of how immunity works are that the immune system recognizes foreign antigens, prepares to destroy them, and uses both cell-mediated immunity and humoral immunity for defense.
This document discusses the characteristics of leukocytes (white blood cells). It begins by stating that leukocytes defend the body against infectious agents and foreign materials. It then describes the main types of leukocytes (lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes) and their functions. The document also discusses the genesis (origin) and lifespan of different leukocytes, noting that red bone marrow produces most lymphocytes and leukocytes have varying lifespans depending on their type.

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Introduction to metastasis to lymph nodes
• Incidence of metastasis of Ca to lymph nodes
• Differentiate Lymphoma from Metastasis to lymph
node
• TNM staging
3. LYMPH NODE METASTASIS
• Most common site of metastatic malignancy
• Presence of metastasis is important for TNM staging
• Usually first clinical manifestation of disease
• Every lymph node enlargement calls for assessment by
pathologist whether its benign or malignant
4. MUST DETERMINE WHILE EXAMINING
A LYMPH NODE
Tumor Present or Not
Tumor Primary or
Metastatic
Possible sites of
Primary Tumor
Number of Metastatic
nodes involved
Presence of Extranodal or
Vascular involvement
6. METASTATIC TUMOR VS LYMPHOMA
METASTATIC LYMPH NODE LYMPHOMA
Cohesive tumor cells with well
clearly defined margins
Multifocal with diffuse penetration of
vessel wall
Sinus involvement Not limited to sinuses
Extensive necrosis No necrosis seen
Solid tumor plugs in lymphatic
vessels
Tumor plugs not common
7. TUMORS SIMULATING LYMPHOMA
• Nasopharyngeal carcinoma - undifferentiated (tumor cells mix
with lymphocytes and tumor does not appear cohesive)
• Melanoma (tumor cells separate from each other within clusters)
• Breast lobular carcinoma (may appear noncohesive)
• Seminoma (inguinal and abdominal nodes)
8. LYMPHOMA SIMULATING AS
METASTATIC CANCER
• Anaplastic large cell lymphoma
• Large B cell lymphoma
• Hodgkins lymphoma
• Composite lymphoma
9. HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE LYMPHOMA
FROM MALIGNANT CARCINOMA
• Mucin stain
• PAS stain
• Touch cytology
• Reticulin stain
• Immunocytochemistry
11. SITE OF METASTASES
• Upper cervical nodes : associated with upper aerodigestive tract
• Midcervical nodes : thyroid carcinoma, salivary gland, upper aerodigestive
tract; also thymus or ovary
• Supraclavicular nodes : breast or lung, also stomach, pancreas, prostate,
testis
• Axillary nodes : breast (women), melanoma, lung
• Inguinal nodes : external genitalia, melanoma
• Undetectable primaries with nodal metastases : nasopharynx,
retrotonsillar pillars
12. RESECTED
LYMPH NODE
SPECIMEN.
• A) 45mm yellowish
lobular structure can be
seen in the resected
lymph node
• B) The typical trabecular
structure pattern of
hepatocellular carcinoma
was confirmed
microscopically

14.
15. GOOD TO
KNOW!
• Supraclavicular nodes
involved by intra-
abdominal carcinomas
are sometimes referred
to as Virchow or
Troisier nodes
16. SYSTEM FOR STAGING CANCER
• Lymph nodes play an important role in cancer staging,
which determines the extent of cancer in the body.
• The most commonly used systems for staging cancer is
the TNM system.
• It is based on the extent of the tumor (T), the extent of
spread to the lymph nodes (N), and the presence of
metastasis (M).
17. THE “N” IN TNM
SYSTEM
• If no cancer is found in the lymph nodes
near the cancer, the N is assigned a value
of 0.
• If nearby or distant nodes show cancer,
the N is assigned a number (such as 1, 2
or 3), depending on
how many nodes are affected,
how much cancer is in them,
how large they are,
and where they are located.
