    Gli Autori descrivono un caso di adenopatie mediastiniche fortemente PET positive (18-FDG PET), inizialmente considerate come neoplastiche. Sono stati eseguiti prelievi in mediastinoscopia e il risultato dell'esame anatomopatologico ha evidenziato trattarsi di una proliferazione attiva di cellule fusate legate alla antracosilicosi

    We greatly appreciated the case by Michal et al [1] reporting on a pancreatic analogue solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the paratesticular location. Analogously, we recently dealt with 2 cases arising in the right testis of a 60-year-old man and in the left testis of a 56-year-old man. The patients have an uneventful medical history, and the testicular nodules (1.5 and 3.2 cm, respectively) were incidentally disclosed during an ultrasound echosonography performed for hydrocele. Routine laboratory test results and serum tumor markers were unremarkable

    Primary classic Hodgkin lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract represents a rare occurrence. A full patient's work-up is essential in order to exclude a secondary intestinal involvement. Histologically Epstein-Barr virus mucocutaneous ulcer closely resembles Hodgkin lymphoma. The differential diagnosis between these two entities is relevant, since both the therapeutic approach and the clinical behavior are different. Herein, we describe a case of primary classic Hodgkin lymphoma arising in the ileum and a case of Epstein-Barr virus mucocutaneous ulcer of the colon, focusing on the main clinicopathological differences
