A neurodegenerative condition characterized by asymmetric weakness in the upper extremities resulting from segmental lower motor neuron dysfunction. [from NCI]

The most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It includes the most frequently seen morphologic variants which are: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma and marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. -- 2003 [from MONDO]

An extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that arises from the stomach with the bulk of the mass located in the stomach. [from NCI]

A diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that arises from the breast. It is the most common type of primary breast lymphoma. [from NCI]

An extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue that arises from the breast as a primary tumor. [from NCI]

An extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma that arises from the stomach with the bulk of the mass located in the stomach. The vast majority of cases are diffuse large B-cell lymphomas and B-cell lymphomas of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. [from NCI]

A low grade, indolent B-cell lymphoma, usually associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. Morphologically it is characterized by a dense mucosal atypical lymphocytic (centrocyte-like cell) infiltrate with often prominent lymphoepithelial lesions and plasmacytic differentiation. Approximately 40% of gastric MALT lymphomas carry the t(11;18)(q21;q21). Such cases are resistant to Helicobacter pylori therapy. [from NCI]

The presence of a carcinoma of the breast. [from HPO]

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL; see this term) in adults characterized by a median age of presentation in the sixth decade of life (but also rarely occurring in adolescents and children) with the initial presentation being single or multiple rapidly growing masses (that may or may not be painful) in nodal or extranodal sites (such as thyroid, skin, breast, gastrointestinal tract, testes, bone, or brain) and that can be accompanied by symptoms of fever, night sweats and weight loss. DLBCL has an aggressive disease course, with the elderly having a poorer prognosis than younger patients, and with relapses being common. [from ORDO]

A type of lymphoma that originates in B-cells. [from HPO]

MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma is a rare form of malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma (see this term) that affects B cells and grows at the expense of lymphoid tissue associated with mucous membranes, but also occurs, more rarely, in lymph nodes. [from ORDO]

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a rare malformation syndrome caused by excessive maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. It is characterized by prenatal and/or postnatal growth deficiency (weight and/or height <10th percentile), a unique cluster of minor facial anomalies (short palpebral fissures, flat and smooth philtrum, and thin upper lip) and severe central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities including microcephaly, and cognitive and behavioral impairment (intellectual disability, deficit in general cognition, learning and language, executive function, visual-spatial processing, memory, and attention). [from ORDO]
