The safety and efficacy of intrabursal oxycodone and bupivacaine in analgesia after shoulder surgery

We experienced three patients with CD30+ diffuse large cell lymphoma having chromosomal abnormalities. The first patient was an 8-year-old girl with bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. A biopsy of a cervical lymph node revealed diffuse large cell lymphoma (stage III), positive for CD30 and a chromosomal abnormality, t(2;5). She attained a remission and is now in complete remission 108 months after diagnosis, despite frequent relapses. The second patient was a 13-year-old boy with right axillar and supraclavicular lymph-node adenopathy. A biopsy of a cervical lymph node revealed diffuse large cell lymphoma (stage III), positive for CD30 and a chromosomal abnormality, t(2;5). He attained remission and was in continuous first remission 112 months after diagnosis. The third patient was an 11-year-old boy with fever and bilateral cervical lymph node revealed diffuse large cell lymphoma (stage III), positive for CD30 and chromosomal abnormality without t(2;5). He showed a very aggressive clinical course. Only the patients with Ki-1 lymphoma having t(2;5) survived over 100 months from the diagnosis, despite the advanced stage of the disease. These findings and a review of the literature showed that the presence or absence of t(2;5) may influence the outcome of Ki-1 lymphoma.
