This case highlights a crucial complication of oral methotrexate therapy: toxicity due to dosing errors. A patient’s daily dosing regimen, instead of the intended weekly schedule, led to a significantly excessive cumulative dose of methotrexate over a short period, resulting in severe hematologic and mucosal toxicity. This underscores the importance of clear patient education and vigilant prescription practices to prevent such errors.

We report an unusual case of a woman who presented with nonspecific symptoms of unilateral facial mass and bleeding from her lower lip over several weeks. The mass was found to be relatively fixed and irregular with destruction of facial bone as evidenced by imaging. Initial investigations indicated the possibility of multiple myeloma, which was later confirmed with serum protein electrophoresis and bone marrow biopsy. Cervical lymph node biopsy confirmed presence of plasmacytoid cells positive for CD 20.

Background: May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS) is a cause of venous obstruction and acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in young females, due to extrinsic venous compression of left ilio-caval venous territory. It generally presents with unilateral lower limb swelling and DVT and long-term management requires endovascular stenting with anticoagulation. Little data is available on long term post-interventional outcomes. Case: A 73-year-old female with MTS, who underwent endovascular stenting of left external and common iliac vein 11 months ago, presented with recurrent symptoms. She had completed almost a year of oral anticoagulation with Eliquis approximately 45 days before presentation. She was found to …

This case report details a 69-year-old male who presented with a right-sided pleural effusion and a mediastinal mass that was ultimately identified as recurrent mantle-cell lymphoma, occurring over 20 years after his initial diagnosis. Imaging findings discussed include chest radiograph and chest, abdomen and pelvis computed tomography depicting the mass compressing on various neighboring structures.

We present a case of extensive mesenteric and portal vein thrombosis in a 59-year-old male with a history of multiple thrombotic events and hypercoagulable conditions. The patient presented with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and black stools, leading to the discovery of thrombosis in the portal vein, splenic vein, and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) with associated bowel ischemia. The goal of treatment was to prevent mesenteric ischemia, maintain portal vein patency, and preserve options for potential liver transplantation. The case was managed through a combination of ultrasound-guided paracentesis, portal and SMV venography, mechanical thrombectomy using the AngioJet device, and continuous thrombolytic …

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and acquired long-term disability in the world.1 In United States stroke is the 5th leading cause of death with a mortality rate of 49.1 deaths per 100,000 people.2 Strokes can be ischemic or hemorrhagic in origin, of which 85% are ischemic strokes. Approximately 10--15% of ischemic strokes occur in patients 18-50 years of age, and inherited thrombophilia may be a contributing factor through induction of a hypercoagulable state. Prothrombin G20210A mutation has an overall prevalence of approximately 2% of the general population, with an association between young patients …

Gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma is a rapidly progressive disease that has a poor prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of 20%. It commonly presents with major symptoms of dysphagia and weight loss in addition to a long-standing history of reflux. As of now, screening for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is dependent on identifying risk factors which include a family history of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma or patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and at least one other risk factory for EAC such as age greater than 50 years, obesity or central adiposity, history of smoking, or male gender. Here, we present a …

Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) refers to nonimmune hemolysis resulting from the intravascular fragmentation of red blood cells. The etiology of such disorders can range from primary thrombotic microangiopathic syndromes (TMA) to various systemic conditions, posing a diagnostic challenge. Prompt identification requires a sharp clinical assessment to improve outcomes.

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions (DHTRs) present significant challenges in diagnosis and management despite advancements in pre-transfusion testing. We report a case of a 76-year-old female with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who developed severe hemolytic anemia following a seemingly compatible blood transfusion and appropriate pretransfusion testing. Evaluation revealed characteristics consistent with DHTR. Diagnostic uncertainty arose due to a negative Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) in the setting of a concomitant Vitamin B-12 deficiency. She was supported with prednisone and B12 supplementation. We discuss challenges in diagnosis, including the limitation of DAT, and propose strategies for comprehensive antibody identification. The case underscores the importance …

May Thurner Syndrome involves the extrinsic compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, which predisposes to venous thrombosis. This case report and review of literature details a complex instance of recurrent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in a 58-year-old female patient with May Thurner Syndrome (MTS), exacerbated by Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT). The patient, post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery, developed leg symptoms leading to the discovery of an extensive DVT from the calf veins to the external iliac vein. She was initially treated with heparin, which was switched to bivalirudin following a significant drop in …
