RESUMO

Lymphoma is the fourth most common tumor to display placental metastasis. This study aimed to report a case of high-grade lymphoma involving the placenta and review the literature on lymphomas metastatic to the placenta. A systematic review was performed following the PRISMA guidelines, using the keywords "lymphoma" AND "placenta." All case reports and case series on lymphoma infiltrating the placenta were collected. Eight cases from 7 studies, including the present case, were synthesized. The mean patient age is 29.5 years. The clinical presentation is non-specific. Hematologic derangements included cytopenias or cytoses, and elevated prothrombin time. The mean gestational age (GA) when a diagnosis of lymphoma was rendered is 27 weeks. Five cases presented with either lymphadenopathy or visceral masses on imaging. Four of these cases eventually led to maternal demise. The mean GA when the fetus was delivered is 31 3/4 weeks. Grossly, most placentas had non-specific findings. Leukemic infiltrates were mostly seen within intervillous spaces. Intravillous infiltrates were associated with high-grade lymphomas, resulting in either maternal demise or stillborn fetuses. This study suggests that the placenta has mechanisms to guard against malignancies; however, these defense mechanisms are not foolproof and may be breached by tumor cells.

RESUMO

Trichomonas vaginalis is a human urogenital pathogen that causes trichomoniasis, the most common nonviral parasitic sexually transmitted infection in the world. Presently, there are no reports on comparative sequence analysis as well as on the identification of phylogenetic positions of T. vaginalis isolates from the Philippines relative to known trichomonads. In this study, 5.8S rDNA and the flanking internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of 57 T. vaginalis isolates were sequenced. The phylogenetic positions of the isolates relative to known trichomonads were determined using the model-based (GTR+Gamma+I) neighbor-joining, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian-inference analyses and the nonmodel-based maximum parsimony analysis. Construction of a phylogenetic tree showed the clustering of all the sequences in one branch together with other T. vaginalis strains obtained through basic local alignment search tool search. Sequencing of the 5.8S rDNA gene and the flanking ITS1and ITS2 regions of T. vaginalis isolates from the Philippines demonstrated low genetic polymorphism. However, comparison of the ribosomal DNA sequences may have implications on some phenotypic characteristics of T. vaginalis.
