Unicentric Castleman disease with paraneoplastic pemphigus and follicular dendritic cell sarcoma: A case report. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
Initial therapy comprised high-dose methylprednisolone, intravenous immunoglobulin and thalidomide, followed by surgical resection and adjuvant thalidomide-cyclophosphamide-prednisone. Postoperatively, inflammatory indices normalized and mucocutaneous lesions partially improved; nevertheless, the patient died of respiratory failure 6 months after surgery. In summary, the present case report aimed to provide valuable references and experiences for clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of CD featuring PNP and FDCS.

Epcoritamab monotherapy for Richter transformation (EPCORE CLL-1): findings from a single-arm, multicentre, open-label, phase 1b/2 trial. (PubMed, Lancet Haematol)
In patients with Richter transformation, epcoritamab monotherapy showed clinically meaningful antitumour activity, although the investigator-assessed overall response rate was below the alternative hypothesis of 50%, with a safety profile consistent with previous studies. These findings support further investigation of epcoritamab as a potential treatment option for patients with Richter transformation.

A rare case of littoral cell angioma with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
This case suggests a potential association between LCA and PNH. Splenectomy provided dual benefits by treating the splenic tumor and improving hemolysis. Given the possible risk of malignant transformation, long-term follow-up is recommended.

Impact of Perforin 1 A91V germline background in patients with aggressive B-NHL treated with R-CHOP. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
This study aimed to determine whether genetic variants in key effector molecules influence treatment outcomes in aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL).We genotyped variants of PRF A91V (rs35947132), GZMB Q48R (rs8192917), and FASL (rs5030772 and rs763110) in 501 patients from the RICOVER-60 trial (NCT0052936/EU-20243), which compared 6 versus 8 cycles of chemotherapy containing cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) with or without rituximab in elderly patients with untreated aggressive B-NHL. Carriers showed significantly better outcomes with CHOP alone but no additional benefit from rituximab. These findings were validated in independent cohorts of aggressive B-NHL but not in CLL, where the PRF1 A91V variant was overrepresented (119/589; 20%) compared to aggressive B-NHL and general population.Our results suggest that PRF A91V is a negative predictive marker for rituximab-mediated cellular cytotoxicity in aggressive B-NHL and may have broader implications for immune effector cell-based therapies.

What to know about rare B-cell malignancies in 2025. (PubMed, Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program)
Recent advancements in treatment involve using novel agents like bortezomib, daratumumab, and B-cell maturation antigen-targeted therapy, which are improving outcomes; however, the prognosis for relapsed disease remains poor. The best remission chances come from rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) therapy combined with central nervous system-directed treatment. New research is ongoing for relapsed cases.

High-grade B-cell lymphomas: high difficulties to diagnose and treat? (PubMed, Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program)
Together, the HGBLs may present with aggressive features; respond poorly to R-CHOP, ie, rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone; and may benefit from intensified induction regimens. In the relapsed and refractory setting, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy has demonstrated significant efficacy, and there is much expectation for other novel therapeutic approaches, including bispecific antibodies. By understanding the biology and a commitment to collaborative prospective evaluation, their high diagnostic and treatment challenges may be resolved.

Signal regulating proteins (SIRPs) participate in sarcoidosis granuloma formation by promoting immune cell aggregation. (PubMed, Respir Res)
SIRPα is robustly expressed in monocyte/macrophage lineages within human sarcoidosis tissues, and inhibition of SIRPs (ELA026) suppresses sarcoidosis granuloma formation by preventing macrophage adhesion/aggregation.

Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the muscle of left lower extremity: a case report and literature review. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
CD5+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is aggressive, and Rituximab-Cyclophosphamide Hydroxydaunorubicin Vincristine Prednisone (R-CHOP) combined with radiotherapy is recommended, but prognosis is affected by age, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, and molecular characteristics such as TP53 mutations. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the first choice for treatment. It is very important to formulate a reasonable treatment plan according to the results of pathology and molecular analysis.
