Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (Pvns) After A Distal Femur Non-Union: A Case Report, Troy Puga, Jenna Chrabolowski, Mckenna W. Box, Kisan Parikh

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

Background Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare benign neoplastic process that involves extensive proliferation of the synovium of a joint. Development of PVNS has been potentially linked to traumatic etiologies, however, evidence for this remains limited. This case report aims to present a case of PVNS that developed after a traumatic etiology.

Case Presentation A 62 year old female presented with recurrent left knee effusion and non-union of the left distal femur roughly four years after an MVC and index open reduction and internal fixation with a lateral locking plate and screw construct. Left knee aspiration at initial visit …

White Plaques With High Stakes: A Case Of Esophageal Leukoplakia, Boney Lapsiwala, Ritika Sharma, Karthik Kasireddy, Devika Pavuluri, Rupali Prabhukhot, Amjad Awan

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

Introduction: Esophageal leukoplakia, also termed esophageal epidermoid metaplasia (EEM), is a rare esophageal epithelial disorder characterized by keratinized squamous plaques on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). With a prevalence of < 0.5%, it is often incidentally identified during evaluation for nonspecific upper gastrointestinal symptoms. EEM is considered a premalignant condition due to its association with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), yet management and surveillance strategies remain undefined.

Case Presentation: A 65-year-old woman with hypothyroidism, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and remote aplastic anemia treated with bone marrow transplantation 35 years prior presented with chronic cough and progressive dysphagia to solids and liquids. She denied tobacco, alcohol, or illicit drug use. No weight loss, abdominal pain, or blood in stool was noted. CT of the neck with contrast revealed curvilinear mucosal hyperenhancement involving the mid to distal thoracic esophagus without lymphadenopathy. Physical examination and …

Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Incidentally Detected On Barium Swallow: A Case Report, Muhammad Rubeel Akram, Aditya Rao, Muhammad T. Siddique

North Texas GME Research Forum 2026

Background: Esophageal cancer is an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis, and has high rates of recurrence despite curative-intent therapy. While endoscopy with biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis, non-diagnostic imaging studies are performed when evaluating for dysphagia, and may bring to light underlying pathology, warranting further workup. Surgical resection following neoadjuvant chemoradiation is often performed, but postoperative complications and disease recurrence are important concerns. This case highlights the crucial role of early detection via imaging and the clinical burden associated with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Case Presentation: A 76-year-old female presented with dysphagia and underwent a barium esophagogram, …

Investigating The Role Of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine For Cancer Symptom Management In Older Adults: A Rapid Review, Isabelle C. Karshner

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Background: Patients with cancer often experience symptoms related to disease, complications, and treatment. One potential method of alleviating these symptoms is traditional Chinese herbal medications (TCHM). This rapid review explores the role of traditional Chinese herbal medications in treating cancer-related symptoms in older adults.

Purpose: The purpose of this rapid review is to gain and provide a better understanding of the effects of TCHM on cancer-symptom management in the older adult population. This review explores the association between TCHM and effects on cancer symptoms in older adults, including interactions, toxicity, and signs/symptoms of TCHM use that may be useful information …
