Electrocardiographic Changes

Background: Suicidal digoxin intoxication is a rare clinical entity. Clinical suspicious remains of paramount importance as adequate interpretation of the electrocardiographic changes enable to readily initiate treatment. Method: We describe a case of suicidal attempt after massive digoxin intake that was satisfactory managed with conservative management strategy that involved a close clinical surveillance of the evolving electrocardiographic changes and digoxin serum levels.

Abstract Introduction An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is defined as an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system. AVM of the breast is a rare clinical entity, with limited evidence to guide management. We present the case of a congenital AVM of the breast in an otherwise healthy woman, with an interesting presenting complaint. Case Description A 38-year-old female presented with a ‘buzzing’ sensation and mastalgia in her left breast. Examination revealed a visible pulsatile linear abnormality with a bruit on auscultation. Duplex ultrasonography demonstrated mixing of the arterial and venous flow, consistent with an AVM. Operative management entailed ultrasound guided identification, ligation and excision of all aneurysmal segments. Histopathologic evaluation demonstrated an AVM with no malignant features. At one year postoperatively, the patient reported complete symptom resolution. Literature review identified nine case reports, including two cases of congenital breast AVM, both treated surgically. Seven cases of iatrogenic AVM were identified, with diagnosis based on duplex ultrasonography and management by surgical ligation in all except one, which resolved spontaneously. Conclusions ongenital AVM of the breast is a rare clinical entity. Diagnosis can be established using duplex ultrasonography, while CT and MRI may be useful for preoperative planning. Endovascular management alone is associated with high recurrence rates and surgical excision is the favoured approach where technically feasible without major aesthetic or functional compromise.

Esophageal diverticulum with secondary bronchoesophageal fistula is a rare clinical entity that manifests as respiratory infections, coughing during eating or drinking, hemoptysis, and sometimes fatal complications. In the present study, we describe a case of bronchoesophageal fistula emanating from esophageal diverticulum in a 45-year-old man who presented with bronchiectasis. We summarize the characteristics of this rare condition based on a review of the relevant literature.

Choristomas are rare entities which are aggregates of microscopically normal cells or tissues in aberrant locations. They are a “heterotopic” rest of cells, as they appear as a tumor-like mass. Herein we report a case of cartilaginous choristoma in a 54-year-old male who presented with a swelling on right lower gingiva. The histopathological examination revealed features of a well circumscribed mass of mature cartilage in a dense fibrous connective tissue stroma.

Pulmonary angiosarcoma is a rare clinical entity with a poor prognosis and no established therapeutic strategies. We present the first case to our knowledge of metastatic pulmonary angiosarcoma, treated with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy, and have an excellent response. Until now, patient has been treated with immunotherapy for 1 year, and his disease is stable and well-tolerated.
