Schwannoma Of The Cervical Esophagus, M. Ferrante, A. Khan, C. Fan, F. Z. Jelloul Jan 2014

Schwannoma Of The Cervical Esophagus, M. Ferrante, A. Khan, C. Fan, F. Z. Jelloul

Journal Articles

Esophageal schwannoma is a rare tumor first described in 1967 by Chaterlin and Fissore. These tumors are most commonly found incidentally or from diagnostic work up of dysphagia or dyspnea. This entity cannot be diagnosed on clinical or radiographic basis alone. Histology demonstrates palisading spindle cells, few if any mitotic figures, and a peripheral cuff of lymphoid cells. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells stain positive for S100, a characteristic marker of Schwann cells. Once diagnosed, surgical enucleation is the typical treatment method employed.


Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome (Hepatic Veno-Occlusive Disease), C. Q. Fan, J. M. Crawford Jan 2014

Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome (Hepatic Veno-Occlusive Disease), C. Q. Fan, J. M. Crawford

Journal Articles

Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is an obliterative venulitis of the terminal hepatic venules, which in its more severe forms imparts a high risk of mortality. SOS, also known as veno-occlusive disease (VOD), occurs as a result of cytoreductive therapy prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), following oxaliplatin-containing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal carcinoma metastatic to the liver and treated by partial hepatectomy, in patients taking pyrrolizidine alkaloid-containing herbal remedies, and in other particular settings such as the autosomal recessive condition of veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (VODI). A central pathogenic event is toxic destruction of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial …


Mantle Cell Lymphoma With In Situ Or Mantle Zone Growth Pattern: A Study Of Five Cases And Review Of Literature, P. Hsu, T. Yang, S. Sheikh-Fayyaz, J. Brody, J. Bandovic, S. Roy, J. Laser, J. E. Kolitz, C. Devoe, X. Zhang Jan 2014

Mantle Cell Lymphoma With In Situ Or Mantle Zone Growth Pattern: A Study Of Five Cases And Review Of Literature, P. Hsu, T. Yang, S. Sheikh-Fayyaz, J. Brody, J. Bandovic, S. Roy, J. Laser, J. E. Kolitz, C. Devoe, X. Zhang

Journal Articles

We present two rare cases of in situ mantle cell lymphoma ("in situ MCL") and three cases of MCL with mantle zone growth pattern (MCL-MZGP). The patients include four males and one female, with a median age of 66 years (range, 52 to 86 years). Two present with isolated lymphadenopathy and three with multiple lymphadenopathy. At presentation, the complete blood count (CBC) and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are normal in all cases. Histologic examination reveals an in situ pattern in two cases and a mantle zone growth pattern in three cases. The staging bone marrow biopsies show minimal involvement by …

Septic Arthritis Of A Native Knee Joint Due To Corynebacterium Striatum, L. F. Westblade, F. Shams, S. Duong, O. Tariq, A. Bulbin, W. Zhen, S. Sakaria, B. A. Ford, C. A. D. Burnham, C. C. Ginocchio, +1 Additional Author

Journal Articles

We report a case of septic arthritis of a native knee joint due to Corynebacterium striatum, a rare and unusual cause of septic arthritis of native joints. The isolate was identified by a combination of phenotypic, mass spectrometric, and nucleic acid-based assays and exhibited high-level resistance to most antimicrobials.

Papillary Adenocarcinoma In Situ Of The Skin: Report Of Four Cases, S. Chen, M. Asgari Jan 2014

Papillary Adenocarcinoma In Situ Of The Skin: Report Of Four Cases, S. Chen, M. Asgari

Journal Articles

Although rare isolated cases of adenocarcinoma in situ of skin have been reported in the literature, adenocarcinoma in situ of skin as a concept and as a diagnostic category has not been established in the field of dermatopathology. In this work, four cases of papillary adenocarcinoma in situ of the skin are presented. In addition, the notion that lesions previously reported in the medical literature under the term of "papillary eccrine adenoma" are actually adenocarcinoma in situ is discussed.
