Considerations on the value of scintillation scanning of the spleen, using Cr51 and BMHP-Hg197 labelled red cells, in neoplastic diseases and particularly in malignant lymphomas are reported. The examination was performed in 45 patients and was found useful for the demonstration of changes in spleen size and morphology and for differential diagnosis with abdominal masses. Splenomegalies were studied also through the index of splenic surface. It was also possible the demonstration of « cold areas », corresponding to intrasplenic alterations, as neoplastic infiltration.

Abstract 1. The cases of four Negro patients with splenomegaly and targeting of the red cells are reported. 2. Electrophoretic analysis of the hemoglobin in these cases revealed type C hemoglobin exclusively. 3. An analysis of the genetic, clinical, and hematologic manifestations was made. 4. For convenience, the name hemoglobin C disease has been given to the mild hemolytic syndrome observed in these patients. 5. Electrophoretic recognition of hemoglobin C by filter paper and Tiselius technics is illustrated. 6. Differential diagnosis is discussed with special attention directed to the mild form of Mediterranean anemia.

Typical cat-scratch disease (CSD) is characterized by local lymphadenopathy following the scratch or bite from a cat or kitten. An atypical presentation which includes liver and/or spleen lesions is rarely reported in an immunocompetent child. Systemic CSD may mimic more serious disorders like malignancy or tuberculosis. Although a diagnosis is difficult to establish in systemic CSD, an early diagnosis and an appropriate treatment are important to prevent complications.Bartonella henselaeis difficult to culture, and culture is not routinely recommended. Clinical, serological, radiological, and pathological findings are used for the diagnosis of CSD. Herein we present a case of systemic CSD presenting with hepatic mass in an immunocompetent child. The differential diagnosis is made by serological and pathological evidence. He was successfully treated with gentamicin (7.5 mg/kg) and rifampin (15 mg/kg) for six weeks.

Abstract Liposarcoma is a rare mesenchymal malignant tumor, which usually originates in the retroperitoneum and the extremities. Seven cases of primary liposarcoma of the liver have been previously reported. We present the eighth case, which occurred in an adult female patient. Primary liposarcoma of the liver, although extremely rare, must be considered in the differential diagnosis of a hepatic mass that develops in a noncirrhotic liver, especially in patients who are potential candidates for orthotopic liver transplantation. Liposarcoma is an absolute contraindication for liver transplantation.

Abstract An Arab family with three homozygotes for βδ-thalassemia is described. The single hemoglobin present in their red cells is fetal hemoglobin. A mild hemolytic condition was seen in the propositus, while the two other siblings are completely normal. The main differential diagnosis of this condition is homozygosity for persistent fetal hemoglobin gene.

Nodular Hyperplasia

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma is a primary hepatic tumor that usually appears in young adults. Radical surgery is considered curative for this kind of tumor, so early diagnosis becomes essential for the prognosis of the patients. The main characteristic of this entity is the central scar, which is the center of differential diagnosis. We report the case of a 30-year-old man who was diagnosed with fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma by ultrasonography. Contrast-enhanced CT confirmed this diagnosis, and the patient underwent a [18F] fluorocholine PET/CT. Hypermetabolism and the morphology in the nuclear medicine exploration suggest neoplastic nature of the lesion. Radical surgery was performed, and histopathologic analysis was performed, which resulted in focal nodular hyperplasia. Hepatic masses with central scar could have a difficult differential diagnosis, and focal nodular hyperplasia could mimic fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma imaging patterns. These morphofunctional characteristics have not been described in [18F] Fluorocholine PET/CT, so there is a need to find out the potential role PET/CT in the differential diagnosis of hepatic mass with central scar.

Microscopic Diagnosis

The broadest application of transmission electron microscopy (EM) in diagnostic medicine is the identification of tumors that cannot be classified by routine light microscopy. EM is useful in the evaluation of approximately 10% of human neoplasms, but the extent of its contribution varies considerably. It may provide a specific diagnosis that can not be reached by other means, but in contrast, the information obtained from ultrastructural study of some 10% of tumors does not significantly add to that available from light microscopy. Most cases fall somewhere between these two extremes: EM may correct a light microscopic diagnosis, or serve to narrow a differential diagnosis by excluding some of the possibilities considered by light microscopy. It is particularly important to correlate the EM findings with data from light microscopy, clinical examination, and other diagnostic procedures.

Healthcare professionals require a thorough understanding of stuttering since they frequently play an important role in the identification and differential diagnosis of stuttering for preschool children. This paper introduces The Preschool Stuttering Screen for Healthcare Professionals (PSSHP) which highlights risk factors identified in the literature as being associated with persistent stuttering. By integrating the results of the checklist with a child’s developmental profile, healthcare professionals can make better-informed, evidence-based decisions for their patients.
