Clinical course of von Szily reaction: Case report and comprehensive review of the literature

Introduction: Extraneural metastases of glioblastoma are very rare clinical entities, especially in pediatric patients. Because of their rarity, they can be confused with other pathological processes. Case Presentation: We report a case of 16-year-old boy with extensive extraneural metastases of glioblastoma. Lung, liver, cervical lymph nodes, skin, and bone metastases were detected in the patient. Conclusion: We describe the presentation, evaluation, and diagnosis of this rare condition with regard to pertinent literature.

Aggressive Clinical Course

Abstract Follicular lymphoma is an indolent lymphoma characterized by the (14;18) translocation, which leads to aberrant expression of Bcl-2. Translocations involving 8q24 are most commonly associated with Burkitt lymphoma and result in c-Myc overexpression. We report a case of follicular lymphoma of predominant small cleaved-cell type (grade 1) associated with both a t(14;18)(q32;q21) and a t(8;22)(q24;q11). The 8q24 translocation predicted an aggressive clinical course, as the lymphoma transformed into acute lymphoblastic leukemia within a year of initial diagnosis. Routine cytogenetic analysis is recommended at initial diagnosis of follicular lymphoma to better identify abnormalities that may predict prognosis and influence therapy.

Obstructive Sleep

Aplasia of the epiglottis is a rare laryngeal anomaly. We present a case of absence of the epiglottis in a child whose clinical course has been followed for nine years. She required a tracheostomy at two years of age for obstructive sleep apnea which resulted in heart failure; she was eventually decannulated at age seven. This case report highlights the clinical challenges faced in the identification and treatment of the sequelae of this defect. Both endoscopic and computed tomography (CT) documentation are provided. Embryological development and a review of the literature are also discussed.

Oral Isotretinoin ◽

Granulomatous Disorders

Background: Granulomatous rosacea is considered a clinical variant of rosacea and is characterized by hard yellow, brown, red or flesh-colored cutaneous papules or nodules that may be severe and may lead to scarring. The lesions typically appear on the cheeks and periorificial lesions; they are monomorphic in each patient and sit on relatively normal-appearing skin. The diagnosis should be established by excluding other granulomatous disorders and rosacea-like eruptions such as sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei. The clinical course is chronic and unpredictable, and management can be very difficult. Case Report: We report the case of a 28-year-old female with granulomatous rosacea who responded successfully to oral isotretinoin. No recurrence was noticed 6 months after the completion of treatment. Renseignements de base: La rosacée granulomateuse est considérée comme une variante clinique de la rosacée et est caractérisée par la présence de papules cutanées jaunes, brunes, ou fleshed-colored rouges dures ou par de nodules qui peuvent être graves et qui peuvent causer des cicatrices. Les lésions sont généralement localisées aux joues et sur les lésions péri-orificielles; elles sont monomorphes chez chaque patient individuel et elles siègent sur une peau d'apparence relativement normale. Le diagnostic doit être établi en excluant les autres troubles granulomateux et les éruptions rosacéiformes comme la sarcoïdose, la tuberculose, et la tuberculide papulonodulaire. L'évolution clinique est chronique et imprévisible, et la gestion peut être très difficile. Rapport de cas: Nous rapportons le cas d'une femme âgée de 28 ans présentant une rosacée granulomateuse qui a été traité avec succès avec l'isotrétinoïne administrée par voie orale. Aucune récidive n'a été observée 6 mois après la fin du traitement.

Small Case Series

Solitary fibrous tumors of the spine are rare lesions. Their description in the literature is limited to case reports and small case series. While generally benign lesions, they can recur and occasionally occur as malignancies. Here the authors present the case of a 10-year-old boy, the youngest patient and first preadolescent reported thus far, with this condition. In addition, they perform a comprehensive review of all previously published cases of spinal solitary fibrous tumors.
