Introduction: Natural killer (NK) cell lymphoma is a progressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with rare prevalence. Intraocular involvement of NK cell lymphoma is very rare, with only case reports to date. Case presentation: Here, we report a case of intraocular involvement of NK cell lymphoma which was presented with bilateral uveitis, iris mass, and diffuse infiltration into the center nerve system (CNS), skin, and possibly myocardium. Conclusions: Iris mass and uveitis which is not responsive to steroids may be ocular manifestations of intraocular lymphoma, such as NK cell lymphoma. Ophthalmological and systemic examinations should be required for early diagnosis and treatment.

Chilaiditi Syndrome

Background. Chilaiditi syndrome is a phenomenon where there is an interposition of the colon between the liver and the abdominal wall leading to clinical symptoms. This is distinct from Chilaiditi sign for which there is radiographic evidence of the interposition, but is asymptomatic. Case Presentation. Here, we present the case of a patient who, despite having clinical symptoms for a decade, had a delayed diagnosis presumably due to the interposition being intermittent and episodic. Conclusions. This case highlights the fact that Chilaiditi syndrome may be intermittent and episodic in nature. This raises an interesting question of whether previous case reports, which describe complete resolution of the syndrome after nonsurgical intervention, are perhaps just capturing periods of resolution that may have occurred spontaneously. Because the syndrome may be intermittent with spontaneous resolution and then recurrence, patients should have episodic follow-up after nonsurgical intervention.

Abstract Background: The early manifestations of gastric cancer during pregnancy are non-specific. Ovarian mass and ascites are the main manifestations of late ovarian metastasis. Case presentation: A case of late gastric cancer with bilateral ovarian metastasis in pregnancy was reported in our study. Cesarean section and full staging of ovarian malignant tumors were performed at 28+5 weeks of pregnancy, and the prognosis was poor. We performed Cesarean delivery and extracted a vital male newborn of 35 cm, 1020 g, Ap score 3. The newborn is alive and grows normally. Three months later the mother died. The key to improving the prognosis is early diagnosis, and the pre-pregnancy health checkup must be emphasized. Conclusions: During pregnancy, ultrasound, gastroscopy, MRI and other related examinations should be performed to confirm the diagnosis, and individualized treatment plans should be formulated to maximize the protection of the mother and child's interests.

Renal Venous Hypertension

Abstract Background: Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) refers to compression of the left renal vein (LRV) between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery (SMA), which results in renal venous hypertension and its resultant clinical manifestations. Left renal vein thrombus (LRVT) complicating NCS is relatively rare. To the best of our knowledge, there are only four case reports of LRVT complicating NCS. Furthermore, there are no reports of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) caused by NCS. Herein, we describe a rare case of NCS causing LRVT and PTE and its clinical management. Case Presentation: A 40-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with acute left flank pain. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed compression of the LRV between the aorta and the SMA with an LRVT. Furthermore, CTA revealed bilateral PTE. Rivaroxaban was administered as an anticoagulant. Twenty days after initiation, CTA revealed complete resolution of PTE and LRVT, and repeat CTA at 3 and 6 months showed no recurrence. Conclusions: This case report demonstrates that NSC may be a possible cause of LRVT and PTE. We review the reported cases of NCS complicated by LRVT and discuss the imaging modalities for NCS.

Case summary A 7-year-old mixed-breed cat presented with subcutaneous oedema and erythema extending from the right axilla to the abdomen. Fine-needle aspiration of the subcutaneous lesion revealed large, atypical, round cells. A clonality analysis for the T-cell receptor-gamma and immunoglobulin heavy chain genes showed no clonal rearrangement. The presumed diagnosis was lymphoma and the cat was treated with prednisolone and L-asparaginase but died 78 days after initial treatment. At necropsy, an oedematous subcutaneous mass in the right axilla, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy of the mediastinum and left axilla were observed. Histopathological examination revealed diffuse infiltration of large atypical round cells in the subcutaneous mass, liver, spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow. Immunohistochemically, the tumour cells were strongly positive for CD56, and negative for CD3, CD20, CD79a, CD57, granzyme B and perforin. Based on these findings, the cat was diagnosed with blastic natural killer (NK) cell lymphoma/leukaemia. Relevance and novel information Here, we report the pathological and clinical findings of NK cell lymphoma/leukaemia in a cat. The antibody for human CD56, a diagnostic marker for human NK cell neoplasms, showed cross-reactivity with feline CD56 by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting analysis. The antibody could be a useful diagnostic marker for feline NK cell neoplasms.
