Synchronous discordant Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)–positive nodal T/NK-cell lymphoma and EBV-positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma in a patient with a history of EBV-positive Burkitt lymphoma
Abstract:In rare cases, patients present with multiple simultaneous lymphomas at one or more anatomic sites. These may be described as composite (occurring at one anatomic site) or discordant (occurring at different anatomic sites). Although the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is often implicated in the development of composite lymphoma, its role in the pathogenesis of discordant lymphoma is less clear. We report a case of discordant Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoma consisting of nodal T/NK-cell lymphoma and diffuse lar… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
