Atypical Presentation Of Cd4+ Small/Medium T-Cell Lymphoproliferative Disorder, Rafael Do Valle, Reem Ayoub, Marshall Hall, Henry Lim, Christian Scheufele, Garrett Furth, Michael Carletti, Stepehen E. Weis

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: Primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (PCSM-LPD) is a rare cutaneous disorder that until 2016, was classified as a primary cutaneous lymphoma. PCSM-LPD histopathologically consists of a localized proliferation of small to medium-sized T lymphocytes. Clinically there is minimal to no systemic involvement. It typically presents as an asymptomatic, solitary red-purple nodule, papule, or plaque on the face. PCSM-LPD has an indolent course and an excellent prognosis. It is important to recognize PCSM-LPD as a distinct entity from primary cutaneous lymphoma to avoid treatments with side effects. Case Presentation: A 68-year-old female with a history of insulin-dependent type …

Severe Hypokalemic Paralysis Following Rituximab Infusion In A Patient With Type I Rta, Ayham Alsaab, Yousuf Sherwani, Emily Devine, Sarah Faheem, Vikas Gullapalli, Mohan Sengodan

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Rituximab is a CD-20 monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of _. Rituximab is a steroid-sparing agent that can be used to control a variety of diseases. (find sources but I found several possible uses). As with any therapy, there are side effects. One potential side effect of Rituximab that has only been described a few times in the literature is hypokalemia. One such report is a case report from 2020 that describes symptomatic hypokalemia in an 18-year-old female with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome after her 6th rituximab infusion, with K dropping from 4.0 prior to infusion to 2.3 at the …

Out Of Left Field Lv Thrombus: Incidental Finding In Patient Presenting With Abdominal Pain, Chak Lam Yeung, Shivani Gandi, Shakir Al-Ezzi, Nicole Huang, Adhikari Pragyan

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: Left Ventricular thrombus (LVT) is one of the most feared complications post myocardial infarction due to the high incidence of embolization. LVT typically form after myocardial infarction and the presence of low ejection fraction (EF), both of which contribute to Virchow’s triad for thrombus formation. LVT are less common in the absence of these risk factors or pre-existing cardiovascular disease. This case report explores the incidental discovery of LVT in a patient, without any known cardiovascular disease, who presented for treatment of acute pancreatitis. Case Presentation: 42-year-old male with past medical history of alcohol use disorder and recurrent pancreatitis …

A Case Of Meningitis With Pyogenic Ventriculitis, Shterna Frand, Matthew Gutzmer, Melissa Jaworski, Calan Teel, Premal Patel

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Bacterial meningitis and subsequent pyogenic ventriculitis in patients with complex medical histories and prior cranial surgeries presents significant diagnostic and management challenges. While typical signs of infection such as fever and leukocytosis may be present, secondary complications including seizure, respiratory failure, and pyogenic ventriculitis can complicate the clinical course. This case illustrates the need for comprehensive evaluation and tailored intervention in immunocompromised patients presenting with atypical infection. The case involved a 63-year-old female with a prior craniotomy and multiple comorbidities, presenting to the Emergency Department with acute encephalopathy and suspected bacterial meningitis. Upon transfer to the ICU following acute onset …

Mimicking Malignancy: A Case Of Non-Traumatic Myositis Ossificans In The Calf, Fatima Safi, Artur Amirkhanyan, Amnah Andrabi, Madeline Doucet

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Objective: This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges of non-traumatic myositis ossificans (MO), a rare benign heterotopic ossifying lesion, and emphasizes its potential to mimic malignancy. Case Presentation: An 18-year-old female with no trauma history presented with a one-month history of progressive right calf pain, ankle weakness (4/5 strength), and difficulty ambulating. Initial ultrasound suggested a hematoma, but the persistence of symptoms prompted advanced imaging. CTA revealed arterial extravasation, while MRI identified a heterogeneously enhancing soleus muscle mass, raising suspicion for sarcoma. Core biopsy demonstrated focal bone formation, mitotically active stroma, and a "zone phenomenon" (central cellularity with peripheral osteoid …

The Intersection Of Hypophysitis And Central Diabetes Insipidus: A Clinical Case Report, Sanjana Kesireddy, Brina Gonzalez, Mohan Sengodan

North Texas Research Forum 2025

INTRODUCTION: Hypophysitis can cause damage to the posterior pituitary, which in turn impairs the production or release of ADH, leading to the symptoms of central diabetes insipidus. Without enough ADH, the kidneys cannot concentrate urine, resulting in the symptoms of excessive thirst and urination seen in central diabetes insidious. CASE PRESENTATION: 27 year old female presents with excessive thirst, headache, nausea and vomiting. Patient had increased urine output since endoscopic trans sphenoidal resection of pituatary mass. She was started on desmpressin 0.2mg orally three times a day. Based on urine specific gravity and urine output per hour, IV desmopressin was …

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Cannabis use, both medical and non-medical, has seen a marked increase following the growing trend of legalization. While the immediate effects of cannabis on mental and physiological states are well-documented, its potential impact on the cardiovascular system remains an area of growing concern. Cannabis-induced arrhythmias, particularly atrioventricular (AV) block, are rare but potentially life-threatening events that can present in young, otherwise healthy individuals (Heckle et al., 2018). This case highlights the importance of recognizing cannabis as a potential contributing factor in the development of AV block.

Traumatic Rupture Of Gall Bladder After Blunt Trauma, Chris Robert, Alicia Lay Jan 2025

Traumatic Rupture Of Gall Bladder After Blunt Trauma, Chris Robert, Alicia Lay

North Texas Research Forum 2025

Introduction: Gallbladder injury accounts for less than 1% of the patient presenting with blunt abdominal trauma, due to its protected location in the undersurface of the liver. Case report: A 41-year-old male presented to the emergency department after a motor vehicle collision. Patient was hemodynamically stable; on exam, patient had focal tenderness in the lower abdomen. Initial lab results revealed elevated blood alcohol of 302 mg/dl, elevated lactate of 3.9 mmol/l, a white blood cell count of 6.76 K/mm3, and a hemoglobin of 15.2 g/dl. Patient was pan-scanned as per trauma protocol. A computed tomography scan revealed a mesenteric hematoma …
