Hypersensitive Pneumonitis

This article deals with difficulties in differential diagnosis of lingering dry cough in children. The focus of the article is on the rare reason for lingering cough: hypersensitive pneumonitis. A brief review of the literature on this rare form of pathology is presented. The authors described two own clinical observations that demonstrate the difficulties in diagnosis, features of the course and management of patients with acute / subacute form of hypersensitive pneumonitis in prolonged observation.

Extrauterine Pregnancy

Abstract Primary splenic pregnancy is the least common form of extrauterine pregnancy. We report a case of splenic pregnancy occurring in a 29-year-old woman presenting with acute abdomen and hemoperitoneum. Recognition of this rare form of gestation is of critical importance, owing to the risk of exsanguination and death, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in women of reproductive age.

Rare Form

Az ovarialis strumák a petefészek-teratomák kevesebb mint 3%-át adják. Megjelenhet bennük a pajzsmirigy szinte minden betegsége, és előfordulhat malignitás is. A szerzők esetében egy 31 éves nő bal oldali petefészekcisztáját távolították el, amely az ovariumcarcinoma klinikai tüneteit mutatta, úgymint nagy hasi térfoglalás, ascites, emelkedett szérum-CA 125-szint. A szövettani diagnózis benignus struma ovarii volt. A posztoperatív pajzsmirigyműködés normális maradt.

The Impact

Two clinical cases of meconium peritonitis in the fetuses are presented. The diagnosis was made prenatally at 30+5 and 20+1 weeks of gestation. The main ultrasound signs were ascites, loop expansion and thickening of the intestinal wall, peritoneal calcifications, meconium pseudocysts. In one case, pregnancy was complicated by polyhydramnios. In both cases, the pregnancy ended in premature birth, followed by surgical treatment during the first days of life. A review of the literature on the topic are discussed the etiology, the spectrum and frequency of ultrasound signs suggesting this condition in the fetus, the effectiveness of prenatal diagnosis, the prognosis for the life and health of the newborn, as well as the impact of the quality and timeliness of the prenatal diagnosis on the management of pregnancy and timeliness of surgical care for the newborn.

Breast Tuberculosis

AbstractBreast tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis which tends to affect females of reproductive age, and is much rarer in males, postmenopausal women, and pre-pubescent girls. It is difficult to diagnose because it can mimic benign conditions such as a fibroadenoma, as well as malignant diseases like a carcinoma. It is also particularly difficult to distinguish breast tuberculosis from granulomatous mastitis, so other possible diagnoses should be ruled out first. The diagnosis of breast tuberculosis has three essential pillars: clinical examination, radiological evaluations, and histopathological sampling. Radiological evaluations are not only critical in diagnosis but are also important in the planning of the treatment and during the follow-up. This paper aims to review the imaging findings and the differential diagnosis of breast tuberculosis.

Mesenchymal Tumours

Perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms represent a group of uncommon mesenchymal tumours with as yet undiscovered benign counterpart. Although perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms have been described arising in most organ systems as well as in soft tissue and bone, only a small number of perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms have been reported in the bladder. To date, there is no agreed system for predicting the behaviour of these tumours. We describe a case of a perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasm of the bladder arising in a 57-year-old male and initially diagnosed on biopsy and present a review of the literature focussing on the pathological differential diagnosis and the importance of key histological features in conjunction with a broad immunohistochemical panel. This case report highlights the key features of bladder perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms that distinguishes these rare neoplasms from other bladder lesions.

Bone Lymphoma

Primary non-Hodgkin bone lymphoma (PBL) is a rare disease that accounts for <2% of all lymphomas in adults. PBL can be monostotic or polyostotic, mainly causing destructive and lytic bone lesions frequently located in the femur, humerus, and pelvis. PBL is rarely considered a differential diagnosis of the osteolytic tumor. In addition, PBL is not uncommonly diagnosed with delay because patients do not experience symptoms nor show objective abnormalities in the early stage of disease. Here, we reported a 60-year-old woman with a PBL of the elbow.

Methods Of Treatment

Cheilitis granulomatosa Miescher is a rare condition of unknown cause characterized by intermittent lip swelling that gradually persists and causes cosmetic deformity. We report the case of a young woman with cheilitis granulomatosa as a monosymptomatic manifestation of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome successfully treated by the antileprosy agent clofazimine, and propose clofazimine as an alternative treatment in cases refractory to corticosteroids. The differential diagnosis and current methods of treatment are summarized, and the literature is reviewed and discussed.
