Objective To study the clinical characteristics and treatment of primary nasal B-cell lymphoma (PNBCL). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed based on the clinical records of 18 PNBCL cases who were treated from January 2009 to June 2015. The clinical manifestations, imaging features, diagnosis approaches and treatment of them were analyzed. Results The main symptoms were nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea. Of all patients, 15 cases were in Ann Arbor stageⅠE-ⅡE, and 3 cases were in Ann Arbor stageⅢE-Ⅳ. The median age was 51 years (12-76 years). The ratio of men to women was 11:7. Only 1 patient had B symptoms. Elevated LDH levels were observed in 4 patients. 13 patients were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL), 3 patients were mantle cell lymphoma, and 2 patients were Burkitt lymphoma. CT examination showed the abnormal nasal soft tissue shadow, with unilateral location and light to moderate enhancement. 14 patients received combination chemotherapy only, and 3 patients received chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Total effective rate was 82.3 % (14/17). At the time of last follow-up, 5 patients died, and the 3-year OS rate was 54.5%(6/11). Conclusions Most PNBCL patients are in Ann Arbor stageⅠE-ⅡE and B symptoms are rare, and the most common pathological types is DLBCL. The treatment for PNBCL is chemotherapy, radiotherapy can assist, but the prognosis is poor, and innovative chemotherapy regimens are necessary.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of necrotizing pneumonia(NP)caused by mycoplasma pneumoniae in children and to review the changes of serum CGreactive protein (CRP)and plasma DGdimer,which may provide an objective and effective help for clinicians.Methods 54 children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP)infection in our hospital were studied retrospectively,including 24 cases of NP and 30 cases of nonGNP (the control group).The dynamic changes of chest imaging,serum CRP and plasma DGdimer were compared between two groups.Results Chest imaging in NP group:All cases showed consolidation and necrosis,accompanied by pulmonary cavities,pleural effusion,bronchiectasia,and thickening of the bronchial wall.Decreased enhancement areas could be found in all 24 cases by enhanced CT.The review after treatment showed that the pulmonary consolidation was absorbted or narrowed,accompanied by cavities in lung,atelectasis,and pleura thickening.The imaging of non NP group showed mainly patches and spots shadow in lung, and only a little consolidation.After treatment,the lung lesions were basically absorbed.Only a few cases had fibrotic streaks and pleural thickening.The peak values of serum CRP in group NP and non NP group were respectively 91(33-266)mg/L,37(18-189) mg/L,and the duration of the abnormity were 1 9(1 1-3 8)d and 8(4-1 9)d.The peak values of plasma DGdimer in the 2 groups were respectively 2 3 78(1 9 84-5 908)ng/mL,1 7 6(1 2-41 9)ng/mL,and the duration of the abnormity were 24(13-64)d and 3(0-10)d. There were significant differences between the 2 groups with all parameters above.Conclusion The imaging characteristics of NP caused by MP in children include consolidation,necrosis (decreased enhancement areas in consolidation),pneumothorax ,cavities ,cystic degenerations, atelectasis,bronchial wall thickening,pleural effusion and pleura thickening.The course of NP was long,and the absorption was slow. The peaks value of serum CRP and plasma DGdimer in NP group were significantly higher than those in the non NP group,and the duration was longer than that in non NP group.Therefore,the clinicians should pay more attention to CR,DGdimer and chest imaging,which may help clinicians with the diagnosis and treatment.
