Histiocytic and Dendritic Cell Neoplasms

Abstract

Abstract/Scope of Chapter This chapter covers tumors of the monocytic and dendritic cell lineage and those that arise from the reticular network of lymph node and extranodal lymphoid tissues (i.e. Waldeyer's ring and gut lymphoid tissue), including follicular dendritic cell sarcoma and fibroblastic reticular cell sarcoma. Mature/fully-differentiated histiocytic/ dendritic cell neoplasms include Langerhans cell histiocytosis, its malignant counterpart Langerhans cell sarcoma, and the related S100-negative histiocytoses. Immature malignancies in this group include myeloid and monocytic leukemia presenting first in extramedullary tissues, and the newly recognized blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm. Keywords

Simulation of streamflow in the McTier Creek watershed, South Carolina

“…Simulation periods for Monetta included February 2001 to September 2009 (calibration period) and a period that was concurrent with New Holland, which was June 2007 to September 2009 (concurrent period). The period simulated at New Holland (June 2007to September 2009 was referred to in the text as the confirmation period. For the calibration period, TOPMODEL and GBMM tended to capture the variability and timing of the observed flows quite well.…”

“…These areas generally correspond with groundwater recharge areas (Hornberger and others, 1998). Inamdar (2009) defined high TWI values as those being in the range of 9 to 16 and low TWI values as those being in the range of 2 to 5.…”
