Angiocentric T-cell lymphoma of the tonsil: a case report.

We present a case of an angiocentric T-cell lymphoma (ACTL) occurring in a 31-year-old woman with the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). This patient had oropharyngeal pain, a non-healing superficially ulcerated right tonsil, and no obvious tumor mass. Initial tonsillar biopsy revealed a subtle, non-specific, perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate subjacent to an ulcerated and inflamed mucosal lining. A benign, although atypical, inflammatory process was suspected. The distinctive features in this case include the relationship of ACTL to the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), which is usually related to B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, the unique non-midline location of the lesion, and the relationship of ACTL to AIDS. ACTL appears to represent a unifying pathologic entity encompassing formerly described angioinvasive lymphoid lesions including polymorphic reticulosis, midline lethal granuloma, and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. We present these subtle histopathologic features to alert otolaryngologists who may encounter these cases, especially in AIDS patients who present extensive diagnostic possibilities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of ACTL involving the tonsil.

Serum theophylline assay by rate nephelometric inhibition immunoassay: a comparison with high-performance liquid chromatography.

The reliability of two clinical laboratory methods for assaying theophylline in serum is compared. Analysis of serum-based standards and 70 patient specimens by rate nephelometric inhibition immunoassay (NIIA) and by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) demonstrates that both methods have comparable random analytical variation. The results indicate that NIIA is a reliable method for measuring serum theophylline and may serve as a practical alternative to the HPLC method.

Phencyclidine identification by thin-layer chromatography. A rapid screening procedure for emergency toxicology.

The clinical manifestations of phencyclidine abuse may include bizarre neuropsychiatric symptoms, which may mimic the untoward reactions of a variety of illicit drugs. Specific diagnosis and therapy depend, primarily, upon consideration of this drug followed by its prompt and accurate identification. A rapid modified thin-layer chromatographic technic for the detection and differentiation of phencyclindine from other alkaloids and neutral drugs with similar Rf values in this system is presented.
