Chemoimmunotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is largely unchanged decades. Both preclinical models and clinical data suggest the combination of lenalidomide ibrutinib may have synergy in DLBCL, particularly non-germinal center B-cell-like subset.
PURPOSE Post-thoracotomy pain syndrome is a common condition affecting up to 50% of post-thoracotomy patients. However, percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided intercostal nerve cryoablation may provide symptomatic benefit in chronic and/or refractory cases. METHODS A retrospective review our institution's comprehensive case log from October 2017 September 2018 for patients who underwent was analyzed. Thirteen with syndrome, medical management, were treated CT-guided cryoablation. Most...
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement still plays an essential role in preventing pulmonary embolism (PE) patients with contraindications to anticoagulant therapy. However, IVC does have long-term risks which may be mitigated by retrieving them as soon clinically acceptable. A dedicated clinic provides a potential means of assuring adequate follow-up and retrieval.To assess the efficacy our retrieval at improving rate patient follow-up, effective management, rates.During period August...
Since their introduction into clinical practice in the 1950s, ileal conduits have been most common type of urinary diversion used after radical cystectomy worldwide. Although are technically simpler to construct than other forms diversion, a variety complications can occur early and late postoperative periods. Early include urine leakage, obstruction, fluid collection (eg, urinoma, hematoma, lymphocele, or abscess), fistula formation. Late ureteroileal anastomotic stricture, stomal stenosis,...
Solitary fibrous tumors are primary mesenchymal tumors, which may occur in any part of the body. Overall, these considered to have intermediate malignant potential with 5- and 10-year metastasis-free overall disease-specific survival rates 74% 55%, 89% 73%, respectively (Demicco et al, 2012). Herein we present an unusual case solitary involving ischioanal fossa a 19-year-old woman radiologic-pathologic correlation. This was complicated by extensive tumor vascularity thus managed preoperative...
A 54-year-old man with Gleason 9 prostate cancer reported nodal and skeletal metastases was referred to us. Outside hospital reports described abnormal left proximal humerus activity on bone scan concerning for metastasis; however, concurrent PSMA PET/CT did not show in this lesion. Further review of the images revealed characteristic features enchondroma humeral
Abstract Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT is widely used in the evaluation of suspected metastasis for initial definitive therapy and recurrence prostate cancer. We outline a case report 62-year-old man with history cancer treated surgery, salvage radiation, hormonal presenting rising PSA levels. There was incidental detection PSMA-avid subcutaneous abdominal wall mass on PSMA study, which consistent desmoid fibromatosis an ultrasound-guided biopsy.
Dabigatran etexilate is a relatively new anticoagulant from the class of direct thrombin inhibitors which administered orally and does not require routine blood work monitoring. may be attractive to both clinicians patients because its convenience efficacy; however, clinical complications are still being elucidated. Here, we present previously unreported case spinal subarachnoid subdural hematoma presenting as Brown-Séquard-like myelopathy in patient after minor trauma setting anticoagulation.
Primary hyperaldosteronism often results in resistant hypertension and hypokalemia, which may lead to cardiovascular cerebrovascular complications. Although surgery is first line treatment for unilateral functioning aldosteronomas, minimally invasive therapies be certain patients such as those who cannot tolerate surgery. We present a case of transarterial embolization (TAE) an aldosteronoma. The patient presented with accident, subsequently developed uncontrolled hypertension, myocardial...
Abstract A 41-year-old woman presented with a left breast mass for which mammography was performed. Mammogram revealed suspicious BI-RADS 4, palpable associated nipple retraction. As malignancy suspected, the patient underwent MRI and 18 F-FDG PET/CT staging. Multiple ultrasound guided biopsies were then performed of breast, axillary lymph nodes, cervical nodes. Final pathology negative malignancy, but final cultures grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Tb). The initially intolerant to frontline...
Esophageal pneumatosis is a rare condition with diverse potential etiologies including traumatic, mechanical, ischemic, obstructive respiratory, autoimmune, immunodeficient, and infectious causes. Here, we present case of esophageal in the setting upper gastrointestinal small bowel ileus, diagnosed on computed tomography (CT), acute resolution after nasogastric tube decompression. A patient presented to emergency department epigastric discomfort. CT abdomen/pelvis demonstrated intramural air...
Breast lymphoscintigraphy is commonly performed before initial surgical intervention and staging in the setting of breast cancer. injections can often be quite painful are routinely without any anesthesia or analgesia, thus representing a significant unmet need for cancer population. Although vapocoolants have been previously available, they typically used on intact skin not recommended sterile procedures. <b>Methods:</b> Thirty consecutive patients were enrolled our prospective study which...
A 71-year-old woman described a gradual progression of right lower extremity swelling, which had been lifelong problem. Physical examination revealed femoral port wine stain (A), superficial venous varicosities gluteal and posterior thigh soft tissue violaceous skin coloration, consistent with malformation (B). The leg was longer than the left calf were significantly larger left. There 2+ ankle edema lymphedema, only trace on Magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated diffuse hypertrophy...
The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure is performed to create an tract between the hepatic and portal veins which helps blood away from sinusoids. This decreases venous pressure secondary morbidities, including variceal bleeding recurrent ascites. However, stent migration a known complication of TIPS placement may occur both during or postprocedural. We present case 58-year-old male with history liver cirrhosis in setting alcohol abuse chronic hepatitis C...
Subcutaneous emphysema of the scalp is a process often attributed to secondary factors such as trauma, infection, or myriad iatrogenic etiologies. Here, we are presenting case report an adult patient with spontaneous subcutaneous following hair coloring/treatment. We performed extensive review literature on this topic, however, could not find single similar presentation emphysema. This demonstrates unreported etiology for diagnosis and thus being reported its uniqueness raise clinical awareness.
We report a case of 35-year-old male who developed pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) secondary to foreign body that migrated from the transverse colon into liver. The mainstay treatment PLA requires removal body, most frequently performed surgically. Few reports exist percutaneous removal. As our patient was hemodynamically stable at time presentation, he underwent successful transhepatic avoiding any need for surgical operation.
