Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma originating in the spermatic cord.

An otherwise healthy 57-year-old man was found to have an early stage, high-grade, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the spermatic cord. A plan of treatment involving surgery, radiation therapy, combination chemotherapy, and central nervous system prophylaxis was recommended. He did not complete the recommended treatment plan, and subsequently returned with recurrent tumor in his brain. This case highlights the similarity of spermatic cord NHL to primary NHL of the testicle, and the propensity of both to progress or relapse in nodal and extranodal patterns.

Spontaneous regression of acquired immune deficiency syndrome-related, high-grade, extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Spontaneous regression of low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma often has been reported. Proposed mechanisms of this event have included concomitant infections and enhanced cellular and humoral antitumor responses by the host. Spontaneous regression of high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is rare and has never been reported in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The authors report a patient with spontaneous regression of AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and discuss the role of host immunity in mediating spontaneous regression.

Radiation therapy for classic Kaposi's sarcoma presenting only on the glans penis.

Kaposi's sarcoma is an endothelial neoplasm with a variety of clinical presentations that rarely involve only the glans penis. Although it is recognized as a radiosensitive lesion, most of the reported cases of penile Kaposi's sarcoma have been treated surgically. We describe 2 otherwise healthy men with this unusual presentation of Kaposi's sarcoma who were treated with radiation therapy. These cases and a review of the literature demonstrate the role of radiation therapy in the conservative management of classic Kaposi's sarcoma involving the penis.

Reactivation blastomycosis presenting as a tuboovarian abscess.

A 32-year-old Korean woman presented with a rapidly enlarging abdominal mass six months after an undiagnosed illness of fever and a large pleural effusion. Exfoliative cytology of a cervical discharge revealed Blastomyces dermatiditis. At laparotomy, a large peritoneal inclusion cyst was found surrounding a tuboovarian abscess with involvement from the cervix to the peritoneum. B dermatiditis was cultured from the excised uterus and fallopian tube. Female genital blastomycosis has rarely been described. The importance of cytology in making the diagnosis in the present case is emphasized.
