Purpose To determine if digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) performs comparably to mammographic spot views (MSVs) in characterizing masses as benign or malignant. Materials and Methods This IRB-approved, HIPAA-compliant reader study obtained informed consent from all subjects. Four blinded Mammography Quality Standards Act–certified academic radiologists individually evaluated DBT images MSVs of 67 (30 malignant, 37 benign) women (age range, 34–88 years). Images were viewed random order at...
Goals: To describe the short-term and long-term outcomes in 34 consecutive decompensated cirrhotic patients with symptomatic gallbladder disease undergoing transpapillary stent (TGS) placement. Background: Endoscopic TGS placement is a minimally invasive means of treating poor surgical candidates. Study: Between June 2005 2011, cirrhosis underwent attempted Results: Median patient age was 52 years, 56% were hospitalized, 48% listed for liver transplantation. The median model end-stage (MELD)...
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rare adverse cutaneous drug reaction characterized by epidermal detachment of <10% body surface area with an average mortality rate 1-5%. The mechanism SJS not fully understood. Nivolumab monoclonal antibody directed against programmed cell death-1 protein (PD-1), receptor immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. We present case in patient being treated anti-PD-1 therapy nivolumab for metastatic squamous carcinoma the oropharynx. This...

Infantile hemangiomas are common vascular tumors. Identifying sites of predilection may provide insight into pathogenesis. Previous studies have suggested a for the boundary facial metameres. The objective was to observe patterns localized on face and scalp, determine predilection, place these in developmental context.A retrospective review photographic archives at 10 Hemangioma Investigator Group pediatric dermatology centers identified infantile scalp. Heat map software used identify areas...
Iatrogenic calcinosis cutis occurs when insoluble calcium salts deposit in cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue. is a rare complication from variety of medical interventions, most commonly due to extravasated intravenous calcium-containing solutions. We present severe case iatrogenic patient with end-stage renal disease an elevated serum calcium-phosphate product. has wide range clinical presentations. Either subclinical or clinically noticeable extravasations may cause mild cutis. Patients...
Scoring systems for Stevens-Johnson syndrome and epidermal necrolysis (EN) only estimate patient prognosis are weighted toward comorbidities systemic features; morphologic terminology EN lesions is inconsistent.
Cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy (CCV) is a rare benign microangiopathy of the superficial dermal vessels. Clinically, it characterized by widespread, asymptomatic development cutaneous telangiectasia in absence systemic symptoms. Morphologically, most resembles generalized essential and other telangiectatic syndromes such as macularis eruptiva perstans (TMEP), ataxia telangiectasia, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. It distinctive its histology, showing characteristic dilated...
A man in his late 70s with a history of psoriasis and non-melanoma skin cancer presented progressive rash on right thenar eminence. He first noticed it about one year ago. denied any pruritus the affected region but did note some overlying breakdown. had used topical betamethasone calcipotriene cream past minimal improvement. Physical examination revealed pink atrophic plaque linear hyperkeratotic borders central fissuring eminence extending into webspace. shave biopsy hypokeratosis rim...
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare rheumatologic disorder in which recurrent episodes of inflammation result destruction cartilage the ears and nose. The joints, eyes, audio-vestibular system, heart valves, respiratory tract, kidneys, skin can also be involved. Skin involvement most frequently linked to concomitant myelodysplastic syndrome has rarely been associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. A 47-year-old woman presented violaceous, indurated, tender plaques on bilateral...
Sipuleucel-T is a cellular immunotherapy approved for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. We report patient developing an immune related adverse effect from sipuleucel-T drug-induced erythema annulare centrifugum-like eruption. A brief review mechanism and implications this eruption are also included.
Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare delayed drug reaction that often occurs 2-6 weeks after initiation of therapy may develop into life-threatening reaction. Besides immediate discontinuation the suspected inciting drug, high dose corticosteroids has long been mainstay treatment for severe cases. Nevertheless, significant drawbacks associated corticosteroid therapy, such as requirement tapering period post resolution extensive adverse side effects profile,...
