Concomitant Nitrofurantoin-Induced Autoimmune Hepatitis and Interstitial Lung D...

Abstract Antibiotics are known to cause adverse reactions, but multiple organ involvement associated with nonspecific symptoms can lead to a delay in diagnosis. A definitive correlation between each toxin and its effects is difficult to establish due to concomitant potential toxins in the circulation. This article highlights an uncommon case of concomitant nitrofurantoin-induced autoimmune hepatitis and lung fi...

Hepatic Myxoid Leiomyoma: A Very Rare Tumor

Introduction: Mesenchymal tumors of the liver are rare, and in this group, myxoid leiomyomas are even rarer. So far, only 2 cases have been reported in the literature. Case Presentation: We aim to report the case of a 16-year-old female with a large lesion on the right hepatic lobe, grossly composed of gelatinous and heterogeneous tissue. Discussion: Histological evaluation revealed a benign mesenchymal neoplas...

Neuroendocrine Carcinoma and Intracystic Papillary Neoplasm: A Rare Association...

Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gallbladder is a very rare neoplasia comprising only 0.2% of all the gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors. We present the case of an 85-yearold male with nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms, progressive weight loss, and deterioration in the preceding 15 days. Imaging study showed a 5-cm polypoid mass localized at the gallbladder fundus, leading to a radical cholecystectomy. P...

Dasatinib-Induced Colitis in a Patient with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

C3 glomerulopathy: a rare kidney histological presentation of multiple myeloma

C3 Glomerulopathy is a rare disease caused by abnormal control of the alternative complement pathway, resulting in a predominant glomerular C3 deposition. Its association with multiple myeloma has been reported in recent literature. We present a case of a 66-year-old women, referred for a nephrology consultation with a stage 4 chronic kidney disease, microhematuria, leukocyturia, sub-nephrotic range proteinuria...

Uncertainties in the Management of a Lynch Syndrome Patient: A Case Report

Introduction: Lynch syndrome (LS), the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, is characterized by mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes leading to an increased cancer risk, namely colorectal cancer. Case: In the context of surveillance colonoscopy, a 40-mm flat lesion (0-IIa+b, Paris classification) was identified and submitted to piecemeal mucosal endoscopic resection in a 64-year-old LS patient...

Skin Metastases: The Visible Face of a Disastrous Unusual Finding

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour arising incidentally as a polypoid lesion i...

ABSTRACT Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that usually originates from abdominal soft tissues. A female patient aged 50 years presented with a 1.2 cm gallbladder polyp. The microscopic study showed spindle cell proliferation in an edematous background rich in lymphocytes and plasma cells. Immunohistochemistry showed positivity for vimentin, smooth muscle actin, and anapla...

Pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma: A different cause for recurren...

A 64-year-old man with a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) underwent right nephrectomy. There was no identifiable recurrence during follow-up. Six years after surgery he presented with melena and ferropenic anaemia. Endoscopic evaluation demonstrated a vascular lesion in duodenum and haemostasis was performed. However, the bleeding recurred and further endoscopies revealed an enlarged multilobulated infiltrative and u...

Hemangioendotelioma epitelióide hepático: um caso de rápida progressão

O hemangioendotelioma epitelióide hepático (HEH) é um tumor vascular maligno raro, cujo potencial maligno é incerto. Os sinais e sintomas associados são mormente inespecíficos e a sua identificação é incidental. A heterogeneidade destes tumores nos métodos imagiológicos dificulta o seu diagnóstico e este só é estabelecido definitivamente pelo estudo anátomo-patológico. A estratégia terapêutica não está uniformi...
