✦ Synopsis
immunmodulant therapy was begun. We started steroid, cyclosporine and thalidomide therapy. The control abdominal and pelvic CT showed small residual tumor on the bladder. Repeated surgery was done, residual was taken out. At this time histological examination showed transient type between plasma cell and vascular variant. Now almost 3 years after onset of the disease with low dose steroid, cyclosporine and thalidomide therapy our patient does not have any symptoms or complaints. Conclusion: Castleman disease can be successfully treated with immunmodulant therapy.

## Abstract The clinical, biological, and immunophenotypical characteristics of B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B‐CLL) patients with trisomy 12 detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using a chromosome 12 alpha‐centromeric probe (D12Z3) were analyzed in the present study. From a
B-cell activating factor (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) are involved in normal B cell survival and differentiation. We analyzed BAFF and APRIL plasma levels in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). We also tested intracellular BAFF and APRIL expression in B-C
Soluble CD83 (sCD83), a potent immunosuppressive agent, circulates at elevated levels in some chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. We report that CLL patients with elevated plasma sCD83 levels had significantly shorter (P=0.038) treatment free survival. Culture of CLL cells with solid phase
