Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCLs) represent a rare, but distinct group of B-cell neoplasms with a different clinical behaviour to B-cell lymphomas secondarily involving the skin. Fas-Fas ligand (Fasl) expression was investigated in a group of primary and secondary CBCLs to gain an insight i

โฆ Synopsis
We measured serum soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) in a patient with natural killer cell lymphoma, and investigated relationship between sFasL and liver dysfunction. An elevated level of sFasL was decreased after local radiation therapy, and liver function improved. When lymphoma relapsed, liver dysfunction reappeared and the level of sFasL increased parallelly. Lymphoma cells expressed mRNA of FasL. This suggested that this liver dysfunction was induced by some remote effectors, and sFasL was one of candidates of these effectors. Am.
