I don’t exactly remember, if this kind of hematologic neoplasia coud occur in such old person. What I know, is the cyto-morphology of this patient seemed to show Reed Sternberg cells on my assestment.

But I still consider this case of being an NHL, with Pleomorphic peripheral T-cell Lymphoma type, which is caused by viral infection (HTLV-I). I do have the smear slides, but forgot to take picture of this patient with enlargement of submental lymph node and a large bulky lump on his left neck. He is doing good, but.

    Halo Maya,

    Kecenderungan pada pria, itu berdasarkan data statistik. Belum ada satu bukupun yang menjelaskan kenapa penderita Hodgkin Limfoma kebanyakan laki-laki.

    Virus HIV bisa juga menjadi pencetus timbulnya Hodgkin limfoma. Karena virus HIV sangat menurunkan daya tahan tubuh, sehingga penyakit apapun mudah dicetuskan dari kondisi imunitas yang sangat ngedrop.
