Abington Jefferson Health Posters

Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical syndrome that results from skeletal muscle breakdown and the release of intracellular enzymes into systemic circulation. We present a case of transaminitis and serum Creatinine Kinase (CK) levels exceeding 590,000 U/L without myoglobinuria or subsequent Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) after an acute psychotic episode. Case reports regarding such extreme serum CK elevations without myoglobinuria or ensuing renal failure in a non-traumatic case of rhabdomyolysis are minimal.

Syphilis and sarcoidosis, both known as the "great mimickers," cause a wide range of symptoms making clinical differentiation between the two difficult.

We present a case in which both neurosarcoidosis and neurosyphilis were considered in the differential diagnosis, posing a unique challenge in decision making.

Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma(AITL) is one of the rarest T cell lymphomas. Diagnosing the type of lymphoma is crucial, as the management differs depending on the type. We present a case of a sixty-one-year-old woman who presented with generalized lymphadenopathy and how we unfolded the diagnosis.

Introduction

While malignancy associated hypercalcemia is a common finding among 20% to 30% of adult patients with breast cancer, lung cancer and multiple myeloma, it happens in less than 5% of female genital tract malignancies. [1] The three most common mechanisms associated with hypercalcemia are: local osteolytic hypercalcemia, humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM) caused by the parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP), and other humoral factors including prostaglandin, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), osteoclast activating factor and transforming growth factor (TGF). PTHrP and 1, 25 dihydroxy vitamin D (1, 25 Vit D) have been reported as humoral factors for dysgermininoma. [2] Humoral hypercalcemia …
