Presentations Of Cutaneous Disease In Various Skin Pigmentations: Porokeratosis, Henry Lim, Christopher M. Wong, Christian J. Scheufele, Daniel A. Nguyen, Michael Carletti, Stephen E. Weis

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Porokeratosis was first described in 1893. It is a relatively rare disorder with over 9 subtypes. Lesions are clinically characterized as well-demarcated, erythematous papules (raised, <1 cm) or plaques (raised, >1 cm), with an atrophic center, and raised scaly border. Porokeratosis is an important diagnosis to identify because it may undergo malignant transformation and mimics many commonly encountered diagnoses. These commonly mimicked diagnoses include squamous cell carcinoma, tinea corporis, nummular dermatitis, and psoriasis vulgaris, to name a few. The clinical images in this review focus on identifying porokeratosis along the full spectrum of skin tones.

Comparing The Ppv Of At-Home Screening Tests With Chronic Anticoagulant And/Or Antiplatelet Therapies, Bradley Gustafson, Nasima Mehraban, Amjad Awan, Michele Mccarroll

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

BACKGROUND: With the rising incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC), early diagnosis and treatment is imperative. At-home CRC screening kits are a non-invasive Federal Drug Association (FDA) approved designed to detects either hemoglobin or DNA markers associated for CRC and high-grade polyps. Therefore, therapies that have a propensity to increase rates of gastrointestinal bleeding could theoretically lead to higher false positive rates. The goal of this study was to determine the positive predictive value of at-home screening tests when applied to patients on therapies such as antiplatelet, anticoagulant, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID), or a combination of the three. METHODS: The …

A Case Report Of Florid Liver Failure Responding Favorably To Targeted Therapy With Cetuximab And Encorafenib Following Treatment With Irinotecan And Bevacizumab In Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, Maryam Fallahi, Omar Garcia, Joseph Kim, Ray Page

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Colorectal cancer, commonly known as colon cancer, is a globally widespread and formidable malignancy originating from the epithelial cells lining the colon and rectum. This disease, demonstrating geographical and demographic variations, particularly prevails in Western countries. The progression of colon cancer typically spans years, initiated by the development of adenomatous polyps, presenting an opportune timeframe for early detection and intervention. The substantial morbidity and mortality rates associated with colon cancer underscore its significance as a public health concern. Various risk factors, such as age, family history, genetic predisposition, inflammatory bowel diseases, and lifestyle factors like diet and physical activity, …

Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Scc) Of The Sigmoid Colon: A Rare Location & Histological Subtype Of Colorectal Carcinoma (Crc), Astrid Sacasa, Stachyse Stanis, Mohtashim Naeem

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2024

Introduction. Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the colon is a rare histological subtype of CRC with poor prognosis. It most frequently occurs in the right colon, and least commonly in the sigmoid colon. Similar CRC symptoms no matter the subtype can range from asymptomatic to rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, and weight loss. Here, we describe a case of primary basaloid SCC of the sigmoid colon.

Case description. A 71-year-old female with no significant past medical history presented with guaiac-positive stools, underwent a colonoscopy revealing an ulcerated mass in the left colon. Histopathology and immunohistochemical results …

Spinal Pilomyxoid Astrocytoma In A 17-Month-Old Twin, Gul Emek Wymer, Chamyan Gabriel, Robert Bender, Susana Ferra

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2024

Introduction: A pilomyxoid astrocytoma is a rare type of brain tumor that primarily affects young children, typically arising in the hypothalamic-suprasellar region of the brain. Unlike pilocytic astrocytoma, PMA is characterized by a more aggressive clinical course and distinct histopathological features, including a monomorphic cell population, angiocentric arrangement, and a myxoid background.

Case presentation: A 17 months old patient with a history of twin to twin transfusion was brought to the hospital with a complaint of motor regression, compared to his twin. The CT and MRI images revealed an intradural intramedullary spinal mass. The mass tissue biopsy was sent to …

Standardization Of Operating Room (Or) Formalin Fixation Time Reporting In Breast Cancer Cases. An Institutional Experience., Cameron Summers, Astrid Sacasa, Nicole Sant Elia, Susana Ferra

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2024

Background: The current guidelines of the American society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and College of American Pathologists (CAP) regarding laboratory testing of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER-2 in breast cancer have been in place since 2010. Optimal tissue handling requires a cold ischemic time of less than 1 hour and a formalin fixation time between 6 and 72 hours. In July 2023 HCA Westside hospital implemented a new Formalin Fixation Time documentation protocol. The data is presented quarterly at the Cancer Committee meeting.

Goal: To standardized the cold ischemic time and formalin fixation time reporting and measure …

A Rare Case Of Invasive Adenocarcinoma Of The Duodenum And A Bovel Biliary Stent: A Case Report, Sabastiana Sanz, Nasima Mehraban, Bradley Gustafson, Amjad Awan

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Adenocarcinoma of the duodenum is a rare but aggressive malignancy making up less than 0.5% of gastrointestinal cancer cases (Tuan et al., 2023), (Cloyd, 2016). We present a rare case of invasive adenocarcinoma of the first part of the duodenum and major papilla that required complex biliary stenting. A 72-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for further workup of gastrointestinal bleeding and 30-pound weight loss. Through imaging it was noted he had lymphadenopathy and biliary dilation. Patient underwent multiple gastrointestinal procedures and was endoscopically found to have a circumferential mass within the ampulla. After unsuccessful cannulation during endoscopic retrograde …
