We report a case of synchronous p16+ SCC involving both the nasopharynx and base of tongue treated with definitive chemo-radiotherapy with concurrent high dose cisplatin. The nasopharyngeal lesion was detected incidentally on PET/CT imaging. Head and neck clinicians treating p16+ SCC should consider the possibility of synchronous lesions, including lesions which may be located in the lymphoid tissue of the nasopharynx.Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) can help to increase the survival time in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients; however, the risk of secondary malignancies due to TKIs is a growing concern. Only few reports showed clinical course of patients who developed lymphoma during TKI therapies. Herein, we report a case of high-grade B-cell lymphoma diagnosed in the course of CML treatment with bosutinib. The 75-year-old male patient had been diagnosed with CML 25 years ago. After receiving TKIs (imatinib, nilotinib, and bosutinib), he achieved a major molecular response. Over 3 years after starting bosutinib, he was diagnosed with a high-grade B-cell lymphoma. A total of six courses of DA-EPOCH-R therapy brought complete remission of the lymphoma. Moreover, BCR-ABL1 transcript copies remained undetectable by RT-PCR, 8 months after stopping bosutinib. The risk of secondary malignancy due to TKI has been controversial. It is reported that TKI induces irreversible chromosomal abnormalities or chromosome aberrations and inhibits the proliferation or function of T cells, B cells, and NK cells. These mechanisms of TKI may contribute to the development of secondary malignancy. There remains no consensus on the management of secondary lymphoma during TKI therapies. At present, the only alternative is to observe patients receiving TKI treatment cautiously and to treat secondary lymphoma in the same manner as de novo lymphoma.The cause of hepatic portal vein gas (HPVG) is variable. Good knowledge of the possible causes, combined with the clinical assessment of the patient and a good quality imaging, is required to correctly identify the underlying cause of HPVG and to best predict the prognosis.A 66-year-old man with hypopharyngeal carcinoma with a single bone metastasis was treated with definitive chemo/radiotherapy omitting local treatment of the single bone lesion. He remained relapse-free for 6 years. We have concluded that radiotherapy-dependent abscopal effect might have allowed to avoid ablative treatment of metastatic site.Although the patient with very severe aplastic anemia might be a fit elderly receiving standard therapy, there are factors which contribute to an adverse outcome such as severity of pancytopenia, absence of minor paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria clone and infective complications of therapy.This report introduces the concept of large-scale surgery and reconstruction when all other medical means of treatment have failed. In select cases, this may act as a mode of buying time and allowing the patient to receive second- or third-line treatments.This case report demonstrates that atrioventricular and ventricular atrial conduction at rest may be unreliable in assessing the presence of reentrant atrioventricular nodal tachycardia.Ultra-high-resolution mapping is useful in the ablation of accessory pathways. However, in patients with accessory pathways in the coronary sinus (CS) diverticulum, treatment with endocardial ablation may be challenging. Patients suspected of having subepicardial accessory pathways may require the examination of the venous anomaly using CS angiography.We present a patient with isolated bilateral external iliac artery dissections associated with emotional stress. The diagnosis should be kept in mind in young, fit patients presenting lower back pain occurring subsequent to emotional stress.Central principles are interdisciplinary teamwork and keeping the ratio between pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) balanced to avoid vicious circle with right heart failure and hypoxia.Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a life-threatening condition that rarely presents during pregnancy. Early diagnosis and treatment with plasma exchange is needed to achieve a good pregnancy outcome.Utilization of the Hotz-Celsus technique with standing sedation and local nerve blocks in cattle provides adequate correction of cicatricial entropion.GABA transaminase deficiency should be considered in the differential diagnosis of early onset epileptic encephalopathies. This case was diagnosed post-mortem, but increased vigilance to this will allow for earlier diagnoses in other infants and families. This is a case study which involved diagnosis of a rare neurometabolic disorder in one of the babies in the family and eventual genetic counselling of the family. The family has been offered pre-implantation genetic diagnosis for future pregnancies. This case reporting has been approved by the hospital research and ethical committee.Interesting case of an infant presented with multiple natal teeth, later he has a confirm diagnosis of ectodermal dysplasia.Here, we discuss a relatively uncommon presentation of a hepatocellular carcinoma and discuss its preoperative planning and surgical intervention required to reach complete resection.Abnormal acid-base status (metabolic acidosis or alkalosis), inappropriate urine electrolytes excretion (high or low Na+ and Cl-), and higher required dose of potassium supplement (4-5 mmol/kg) are suggestive of non-TPP causes of hypokalemia.The accurate diagnosis of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease can protect children from unnecessary diagnostic procedures and treatments. JH-RE-06 in vitro Also, the co-occurrence of rare diseases with other diseases can improve or worsen the symptoms of the patients.Assessing jugular venous pressure (JVP) may be challenging yet useful for establishing the bedside diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Vein finder lights illuminate superficial veins and thus can improve visualization of the external jugular vein.Subcutaneous plasma-derived human C1-Inhibitor concentrate (pdC1INH) may be safe and effective for long-term prophylaxis during pregnancy and lactation in hereditary angioedema patients.
