A relative was diagnosed with low grade primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma. She is worried now because?

---

she has a large swollen lymph node in her cervical area. She has an appointment with an Oncologist. Until then, is it normal to have the lymph nodes swell in the body??
She clearly needs to have it biopsied. Then if it shows lymphoma, she will have to have more tests to see if it has spread anywhere in the body. Whole process of investigation should not take more than 7-14 days.  (+ info)

Survival Rate of patients with systemic Mastocytosis?

---

someone with this disease, mainly seen on the skin, however showed up in a bone marrow biopsy,......also had gull bladder removed, not sure if it was due to her recent childbirth,....or the disease,......being treated with chemo pills, at this time,....what is the survial rate, and how much "time' would this person have left in life?
Many people with systemic mastocytosis live long lives. did this person get it as a child or in adulthood? the odds are much better in children. Mastocytosis is not cancer by any means, although systemic masto is linked to lymphoma and leukemia. This person should be seeing a mastpcytosis specialist. there are several in the country. I know of one in Boston if you need contact info.  (+ info)

Please please tell me everything you know about systemic mastocytosis.?

A friend of mine was just told she has systemic mastocytosis. What can you tell me about this disease? Do you know anyone who has it?
Systemic mastocytosis is caused when mast cells collect in the tissues and can affect organs such as the liver , spleen , lymph nodes , and bone marrow.

Mastocytosis is a disease characterized by the presence of too many mast cells in various organs and tissues.

Description

The body has a variety of free-roaming cell populations that function as immunogenic agents. Most immunogenic cells fall into the category of white blood cells, but some remain in tissues and are not found in the blood. Mast cells are such a group.
The cause of mastocytosis is unknown. People with systemic mastocytosis have bone and joint pain. Peptic ulcers are frequent because of the increased stomach acid stimulated by histamine. Many patients with systemic mastocytosis also develop urticaria pigmentosa. These skin lesions itch when stroked and may become fluid-filled.
Systemic mastocytosis is only symptomatically treated. There is no known treatment that decreases the number of mast cells within tissue.  (+ info)

Cutaneous leishmaniasis symptoms?

---

Any good links on how you can tell if you have the cutaneous version of this? Thank you.
After getting bitten by a sandfly, disease may manifest itself from a week to many months later.

It starts out as a papule that enlarges to an ulcer. The ulcer can give the appearance of a volcano crater. Lesions may appear singly or multiple; many heal spontaneously within weeks to months to years.
