    Only proven pathogenic mutations associated with myeloid neoplasms are key to establish the clonal nature of the bone marrow fibrosis. In cases with genetic variants of uncertain meaning, the clinical picture may be required to rule out secondary causes.

    Within T-cell lymphomas (TCL) there are 2 entities expressing gamma-delta TCR: hepatosplenic gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma (HSGDTL) and the primary cutaneous gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma (PCGDTL). PCGDTL is a rare form of Tcell lymphoma with specific tropism for skin that have a dismal prognosis. Although even rarer, there have been reports of TCL with loss of expression of the TCR, which have been termed peripheral TCL TCR-silent type. We report the case of a cutaneous TCR-silent type lymphoma associated to a clonal plasma cell proliferation with an ominous outcome that led to a lot of discussion in its classification. Due to the aggressiveness of the disease and the scant evidence about therapy in this strange entity the outcome was fatal. We report a unique case of a TCR-silent cutaneous TCL with an exceptional histopathology, prolonged clinical evolution and a subsequent plasma cell clonal expansion

    Valores

    Ao vincular os valores às necessidades ou às motivações individuais, a maioria das definições aqui apresentadas parecem distanciar os valores do seu aspecto mais central – a sua natureza social, ainda que a importância de fatores sociais para os valores tenha sido realçada nessas abordagens. Uma definição menos individualizante foi proposta por Pereira, Camino e Costa (2005), em que os valores são estruturas de conhecimento socialmente elaboradas sobre como a sociedade deve ser organizada. Para esses autores, os valores expressam os conflitos ideológicos, orientam os comportamentos e estão ancorados nas identidades dos grupos sociais e nos posicionamentos ideológicos derivados dessas identidades (ver Capítulo 10 sobre Identidade Social). Essa abordagem, embora concorde com Schwartz (1992) relativamente a ideia de estudar tipos de valores, distancia-se dele quanto ao pressuposto de que os valores são representantes cognitivos de necessidades individuais. Ao contrário, como afirmam Deschamps e Devos (1993), os valores representam identidades ideológicas dos grupos sociais.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    The Grupo Español de Linfomas y Trasplantes de Médula Ósea International Prognostic Index (GELTAMO-IPI) stratifies four risk groups in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients treated with immunochaemotherapy: low (LR), low-intermediate (LIR), high-intermediate (HIR), and high (HR). The present study explores the effect of GELTAMO-IPI in the DLBCL subtypes defined by the immunohistochaemistry-based Hans algorithm, Germinal Centre B (GCB) and non-GCB. A multivariate Cox regression model including GELTAMO-IPI risk groups, cell of origin (COO) subtypes and their product was developed to evaluate interaction between the two variables. The COO subtype was available in 839 patients (380 GCB; 459 non-GCB) and both the GELTAMO-IPI and the COO subtype in 780 (353 GCB; 427 non-GCB). There were no differences in 5-year overall survival (OS) between the two subtypes. The Cox model revealed interaction between the GELTAMO-IPI risk groups and the COO subtypes (P = 0·005), indicating that GELTAMO-IPI has a different effect in the two subtypes. Three risk groups were stratified in both COO subtypes: in the GCB subtype, LR, LIR and the combined HIR+HR had 5-year OS of 100%, 75% and 52%, respectively. In the non-GCB subtype, LR, the combined LIR+HIR and HR had a 5-year OS of, 97%, 82% and 35% respectively. GELTAMO-IPI identifies a genuine poor outcome group of patients in the DLBCL non-GCB subtype
