Abstract
Primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (PCMZLs) are classified as low-grade as they run an indolent course. They are histologically characterized through non-epidermotropic nodular or diffuse infiltrates consisting of small or medium heterogeneous atypical lymphoid cells. In the past few years, chemotherapy has increased the survival rate of breast cancer patients. However, the adverse effects of treatment, such as leukemia, have also been shown to emerge gradually. Additionally, cases of occurrence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) post chemotherapy have also been reported. A 48-year-old female patient was presented with a violaceous nodule on her left thigh. Around 15 months ago, she completed breast cancer chemotherapy. Eight months later, a skin lesion appeared. Histological findings revealed dense and nodular lymphocyte infiltration. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for CD20 and BCL2. Clinical and histological examination of the lesions confirmed PCMZL. After systemic evaluation, lymphoma was found to be limited to the skin, and thus, she underwent complete excision of the lesion. At the first month follow-up, there was a recurrent lesion on the right wrist, which was excised successfully. However, recurrences occurred again in the calf and forearm in the following five and two months, respectively. These lesions were also confirmed with PCMZL using biopsy. We assume that this case is related to chemotherapy as it was presented and recurred abruptly post chemotherapy. Additionally, there are several reported cases of NHL post breast cancer chemotherapy. However, this is the first case report of PCMZL associated with chemotherapy.

Abstract
The use of reduced intensity regimens has decreased early mortality following stem cell transplantation. However, the increased immunosuppression following these protocols results in profound and often prolonged lymphopenia, resulting in an increased incidence of viral reactivation. We and others have observed a high incidence of EBV viraemia and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) following reduced-intensity conditioning regimens, reflecting the delayed recovery of EBV-specific immunity after such transplants. The clinical and histological features at presentation are similar to that seen after conventional intensity conditioning. Given the increasing use of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) transplants, we review the risk factors for EBV related disease following transplantation with RIC, the potential for pre-emptive therapy of PTLD based on monitoring EBV viraemia and management options in such patients.

Abstract
A total of 75 patients underwent sibling allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) for chronic myeloid leukaemia in first chronic phase from 1984 to 2000. Of these patients, 51 (68%) were alive at a median follow-up of 98 months (range 34-217 months). Nine (18%) patients relapsed and seven (14%) received donor lymphocyte transfusions. Quality of life (QoL) was assessed cross-sectionally using the EORTC QLQ-C30, a Leukaemia-BMT-specific module and questionnaires on sexual functioning, fertility and late effects. A total of 46 (90%) replied. Scores for Role (P=0.018) and Cognitive (P<0.001) function were significantly lower when compared to an age-adjusted general population. Dyspnoea (P=0.022) and Financial Difficulties (P<0.001) were significantly more common in the SCT group. No difference was found for scores in the Physical, Emotional and Social domains or the overall Global Health Status/QoL. Decreased sexual functioning was found in one-third of respondents. Although most BMT recipients reported a good QoL, a minority have difficulty with reintegration into professional roles and consequent monetary problems. Identified cognitive and sexual impairments highlight the need for long-term access to psychosocial support.

Abstract
A 45-year-old woman presented with fever, generalized skin lesions and multiple lymphadenopathies. In her past history she had had six courses of cyclophosphamide and cisplatin combination chemotherapy 7 years ago because of an ovarian carcinoma. We found pancytopenia in the peripheral blood examination. Skin biopsy showed diffuse subcutaneous infiltration reminiscent of panniculitis but composed of malignant lymphoid cells that were of T lineage. Bone marrow biopsy showed normocellular myeloid tissue with abundant haemophagocytic macrophages. Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma with haemophagocytic syndrome was diagnosed. This is the first case reported of subcutaneous panniculitis-like lymphoma occurring secondary to chemotherapy.

Abstract
With increased number of patients surviving on the long term, late effect after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have become of major clinical importance. Among these late effect, second malignancies have increasingly been recognized in the recent years. It has been usual to divide the problem of secondary malignancies following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation into three groups, i.e. leukemia, lymphoma and solid tumors. Recent clinical and biological data on these three types of malignancies, occurring after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, are summarized in this review. We will focus here only on second malignancies after allogeneic stem cell transplantation with particular emphasis on recent development on the pathogenesis, and early diagnosis, and treatment of these transplant-related complications.

Abstract
A 22-year-old man, in first complete remission of acute myelogenous leukemia, developed a high grade B cell lymphoma 19 months after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (allo-BMT) from an HLA-identical unrelated donor. Biopsy of a cervical lymph node revealed a lymphoma that was negative for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small nuclear RNAs (EBERs) in situ hybridization. Genotypic analyses identified the lymphoma to be of donor origin, and there was no evidence of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA in the lymphoma by Southern blot analysis. The lymphoma went into complete remission, following four courses of combination chemotherapy, but relapsed after a month and the patient died of congestive heart failure. The patient was thought to be persistently immunosuppressed 11 months after cessation of immunosuppressants, and the lymphoma was thought to be induced by one or more factors other than EBV.

Abstract
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a known complication of both solid organ transplantation and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) but is rarely seen following autologous BMT. We report the case of a 45 year-old female who developed Burkitt's lymphoma eight years after a renal allograft. This PTLD was found to have lambda light chain restriction, contained del(8)(q24) and add(14)(q32), and was negative for EBV on immunohistochemical and DNA-based PCR analyses. Immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) PCR studies revealed a prominent clonal rearrangement. She responded to intravenous cyclophosphamide and proceeded to high-dose chemoradiotherapy and mafosfamide-purged autologous BMT. Thirty-nine days post-BMT she presented with cough and fever and developed hepatic dysfunction; abnormal lymphoplasmacytoid cells were noted in the peripheral blood. Investigations revealed kappa light chain restriction, an oligoclonal IgH rearrangement, a normal karyotype and PCR studies for EBV were positive, consistent with a clinically and biologically distinct PTLD. She initially improved following discontinuation of immunosuppression, but then deteriorated abruptly and died 58 days post-BMT. It is likely that the two separate episodes of PTLD in this patient, one of which was atypical, arose as a result of both the chronic use of cyclosporine and the impairment of cell-mediated immunity associated with autologous BMT. The sequence of events in this patient should contribute to a better understanding of late-onset, EBV-negative PTLD.

Abstract
Secondary malignancies (lymphomas, leukemias, and solid tumors) occurring after bone marrow transplantation are now more frequently reported, as the patients surviving the early phase of the graft and remaining free of their original disease are more numerous. Besides early Epstein-Barr virus-associated B-cell lymphoproliferative diseases, which are the most common type and most often of donor origin, few late-occurring lymphomas have been described that might represent a distinct entity. We report here a case of Hodgkin's disease developing 8 years after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogeneous leukemia. Only two Hodgkin's diseases after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation have been reported in the literature so far. The case we report is of interest because of its donor origin and its association with Epstein-Barr virus infection.

Abstract
This review describes the role that animal models have played in the development of clinical procedures for growth factor and hematopoietic cell therapies following high-dose cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy or both. Data are discussed describing animal models that add to the understanding of human hematopoiesis, including myeloid and lymphoid lineage localization and in vivo maturation. Finally, current animal models of cytokine and cell therapies are presented in the context of their contributions to early clinical trials and future therapies. These studies underscore the past and current contributions animal investigations have made to improving clinical therapies.
