From Unicentric Castleman Disease to Lymphoma: A Rare Case Highlighting a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge. (PubMed, Cureus)
Due to the diagnostic complexity, he was treated as having a non-Hodgkin lymphoma-like entity with R-CHOP chemotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) Although UCD is typically considered curable with surgical resection, this case demonstrates that, in rare cases, it can progress to lymphoma, specifically NLPHL. This case illustrates that even localized forms of UCD may be associated with subsequent lymphoid malignancy, emphasizing the importance of continuous clinical surveillance and a multidisciplinary approach to management. Histopathological reassessment of new lesions is crucial, and clinicians should consider the possibility of malignant transformation in patients with a history of UCD to ensure accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.

RHOA G17V mutation analysis redirecting diagnosis: nodal T-follicular helper cell lymphoma with classic Hodgkin lymphoma feature. (PubMed, J Clin Exp Hematop)
The differential therapeutic response also supported a diagnosis of nTFHL, which could not have been established on morphology alone.In this case, although the HRS cells displayed morphological, immunophenotypic, and molecular features highly suggestive of CHL, the biological nature of the lesion was consistent with nTFHL. Compared with previously reported cases of nTFHL with HRS-like cells, this case more closely resembled CHL and may represent a distinct subset best described as "nTFHL with CHL features," a concept warranting greater recognition among pathologists and clinicians.

Epstein-Barr Virus MicroRNAs as Key Regulators of Lymphoma Pathogenesis: Immune Evasion Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities. (PubMed, Eur J Haematol)
Importantly, therapeutic strategies aimed at interrupting viral miRNA function, restoring host tumor-suppressor pathways, and re-sensitizing tumor cells to immune surveillance hold promise. This review synthesizes current mechanistic insights into EBV-encoded miRNAs in oncogenesis, elaborates on their roles in lymphoma pathogenesis, and evaluates the translational potential of miRNA-targeted therapies in EBV-associated malignancies.

Analysis of Tonsillar NK Cell Markers in Pediatric Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Asymptomatic Infection and EBV-Associated Hodgkin Lymphoma. (PubMed, Viruses)
A significantly higher IFN-γ production was observed in CD56bright cells in children with primary infection compared with healthy carriers, along with an inverse correlation between IFN-γ production and CD56bright cells in healthy carriers. These findings suggest that NK cells may contribute to immune control predominantly during primary infection, whereas their role appears limited in healthy carriers and in EBV-associated Hodgkin lymphoma.

PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors in Hodgkin lymphoma: A meta- and network meta-analysis. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
This study suggests that camrelizumab is associated with an improved PRR for HL, whereas, combination strategy of two ICI drugs, and that one of pembrolizumab and camrelizumab combined with conventional chemoradiotherapy are more effective for elevating the CRR and ORR respectively.

Bendamustine-based lymphodepletion prior to CAR T-cell therapy: a systematic review. (PubMed, Bone Marrow Transplant)
While fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (Flu/Cy) remain the standard LD regimen, bendamustine has emerged as a potential alternative due to its distinct immunomodulatory properties and more favorable toxicity profile. However, the current evidence is largely derived from retrospective and non-randomized studies. Prospective, comparative trials are warranted to validate these findings and to better define the optimal LD strategy across disease types and CAR-T platforms.
