Overgrowth Syndromes

Abnormally excessive growth results from perturbation of a complex interplay of genetic, epigenetic, and hormonal factors that orchestrate human growth. Overgrowth syndromes generally present with inherent health concerns and, in some instances, an increased risk of tumor predisposition that necessitate prompt diagnosis and appropriate referral. In this review, we introduce some of the more common overgrowth syndromes, along with their molecular mechanisms, diagnostics, and medical complications for improved recognition and management of patients affected with these disorders.

Advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma presenting with endobronchial metastases is an extremely rare phenomenon, with only a few cases reported to date. Despite endobronchial metastases being a rare occurrence, the clinically significant sequelae require prompt diagnosis and management. Therapeutic bronchoscopy represents an effective palliative treatment for malignant airway obstruction. This case report describes a 62-year-old man who presented with bilateral endobronchial metastases from advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma, requiring symptom palliation with laser bronchoscopy.

Prompt Diagnosis

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related iatrogenic perforations are identified when gas or luminal contents exit the gastrointestinal tract during ERCP. Although perforations are rare, mortality is high; prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential. A multidisciplinary approach is required. The vast majority of such patients can be safely managed medically and endoscopically but must be carefully selected. Endoscopic closure can be considered, depending on the type of perforation. In patients who are deteriorating or whose iatrogenic perforations are not securely closed endoscopically, surgery is mandatory.

Prompt Diagnosis

Rickettsia and Borrelia are microorganisms that are transmitted to humans through a bite of arthropod vectors such as ticks, lice, fleas. Bartonella is often transmitted to humans by cat scratches or bites and causing systemic disease. Ocular manifestations may also accompany the systemic disease. These rare infections usually have a self-limiting course, but severe systemic and ophthalmic complications may also occur. Therefore, to be familiar with the clinical findings of these entities can facilitate prompt diagnosis and prevention of potential morbidities.
