Histopathologic Features

A one and a half-year-old, male, castrated, domestic short-haired cat was presented with a six‑month history of depression, anorexia, skin lesions, excessive itching and systemic lymphadenopathy. Complete blood count revealed severe leukocytosis (114,700 cells/μl), and peripheral blood films were characterized by marked lymphocytosis. Lymph nodes examinations and bone marrow aspirate were not suggestive of neoplastic changes. Histopathologic examination of skin lesions revealed allergic dermatitis. Based on the anamnesis and histopathologic features, non-flea, non-food hypersensitivity dermatitis (NFNFHD) was diagnosed. Treatment was initiated with prednisolone and cyclosporine. During the treatment, the cat fully recovered from the skin lesions. Leukocytosis was reduced to 18,940/μl six months after initiation of medication. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report describing a case of a leukemoid reaction secondary to feline NFNFHD.

We report bilateral proptosis as the initial presentation of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in a child. An Eight year child presented with a history of painless proptosis in the both eyes within 10 days. Radiological investigation (CT scan) showed inltration of orbit with the metastatic tumour cell. AML was diagnosed with complete blood count, General Blood Picture (GBP) and bone marrow biopsy. The presumptive diagnosis of leukemic inltration of the orbit is made. We report this case as AML can rarely present in child as a bilateral proptosis due to leukemic inltration. Urgent treatment modality for this rare condition is radiation.

A 6.5-year-old, intact male Cocker Spaniel dog was referred with a history of depression and anorexia of 1-week duration. Mucosal pallor was prominent on physical examination. Complete blood cell count revealed pancytopenia and occasional blast cells. Bone marrow aspirate cytology indicated that individual particles were composed of approximately 60% hematopoietic cells and a monomorphic population of blast cells with perfectly round nuclei, consistent paranuclear clearing, and deeply basophilic cytoplasm devoid of granules dominating the marrow fields. The granulocytic lineage was severely decreased with a granulocytic-to-erythroid ratio of 0.15 and a blast cell percentage of at least 70% of all nucleated cells; the myeloblasts and monoblasts composed <5% of nonerythroid cells. Bone marrow cytology slides were submitted for immunocytochemical immunophenotyping using antibodies to myeloperoxidase, cluster of differentiation (CD)3, CD79a, CD11b, CD45, and CD34. The neoplastic cells did not express any of the antigens assessed. The combination of light microscopic cytomorphology and the immunophenotype were strongly suggestive of pure erythroid leukemia.

We present a case of 25-year-old female who was brought to the hospital for complaints of generalised weakness, fever, and history of melena and haematuria. Following admission complete blood count and peripheral smear was asked; Complete blood count (CBC) findings were haemoglobin 4.2 gm/dl, total WBC count was 14,990, platelet count 7000, reticulocyte count 4%, NRBCs were 15/100 WBCs. Peripheral Smear showed fragmented RBCs, polychromatophils microspherocytes and multiple foci of autoagglutination suggestive of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Pertaining to these findings immune workup was done for this patient; coombs test was negative for this patient, but ANA was positive. This identification proved valuable to the patient as; administration of corticosteroids helped to prevent haemolytic transfusion reactions and improved the patient’s haemoglobin and platelet count.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignant, low-grade, monoclonal disorder characterized by the accumulation of lymphocytes with variable clinical features. Cutaneous manifestations or leukemia cutis are non-specific, uncommon presentations of CLL and can present in many different ways. In this case report, we discuss a 76-year-old male who presented with skin lesions of the lower limbs and severe itching. Due to the lack of response to the treatment with topical corticosteroids, initial tests were carried out. Complete blood count results indicated lymphocytosis. Eventually Ultimately, the skin lesions led to the diagnosis of CLL. The patient was treated with bendamustine-rituximab (BR). After receiving the treatment, all cutaneous manifestations and generalized itching disappeared. This case highlights the importance of comparing similar cases of CLL presented with dermatological conditions in order to to understand proper management and practice.

A five-year-old female spayed Vietnamese potbellied pig was evaluated due to a chronic history of dysuria and pollakiuria as well as lack of faecal output for one week. Physical examination revealed vitals within normal parameters and to facilitate further workup evaluation, the patient was anaesthetized. Complete blood count and chemistry panel values were unremarkable. Ultrasonography of the bladder indicated the presence of uroliths, and this was confirmed with abdominal radiographs. A cystotomy was performed to remove the uroliths, and an enaema was administered to relieve the constipation. The patient recovered from anaesthesia uneventfully and was discharged after four days of hospitalisation. Analysis revealed that the stones were composed of calcium phosphate carbonate; husbandry and medical management changes were implemented to prevent reoccurrence. Urolithiasis is an uncommon finding in female pigs; this case report describes a comprehensive clinical workup and treatment of a female adult pig with urolithiasis.

A 67-year-old immunocompetent female with a history of recurrent parotiditis developed swelling of the right side of her neck and face, intermittent fever, dyspnea, and dysphagia. Her complete blood count revealed a neutrophilic leukocytosis. Blood cultures grew Staphylococcus aureus. A computed tomography scan showed right-sided facial and neck edema, and a thrombus in the right internal jugular vein (Figure 1). A prolonged course of antibiotic therapy was initiated. In some cases, surgical drainage of any abscesses, ligation of thrombosed vessels, and anticoagulation may be required.

Electroconvulsive therapy is the most effective treatment for endogenous depression. Possible adverse effects include confusion, memory loss, headache, hypotension, and tachycardia. We describe a 22-year-old woman treated for unconsciousness four hours after electroconvulsive therapy. She had no history of recent head trauma, hypertension or cerebrovascular symptoms. Complete blood count, platelet count, prothrombin and partial thromboplastin time were normal. Multiple intracerebral hemorrhages were seen on computed tomography. This unusual finding has not been reported previously.

This section of Pediatrics in Review reminds clinicians of those conditions that can present in a misleading fashion and require suspicion for early diagnosis. Emphasis has been placed on conditions in which early diagnosis is important and that the general pediatrician might be expected to encounter, at least once in a while. The reader is encouraged to write possible diagnoses for each case before turning to the discussion, which is on the following page. We invite readers to contribute case presentations and discussions. Case 1 Presentation A 2-month-old breast-fed boy is brought to the office with a 2-day history of constipation, poor feeding, lethargy, wheezing, and a temperature of 101°F (38.3°C). In the office his temperature is recorded at 98.8°F (37.1°C) rectally. The infant does not appear lethargic, and the only significant physical finding is tearing of the left eye. Because of the history of fever, a complete blood count is obtained, which is normal. The infant is discharged home with a diagnosis of conjunctivitis and possible viremia. He returns within 48 hours and is found to be hypotonic with a poor gag reflex, weak suck, and weak cry. Despite his normal temperature a septic evaluation is initiated. Case 2 Presentation A 17-year-old boy complains of bilateral hip pain that has bothered him for the past year.

Vaginal bleeding due to leech infestation is a very uncommon but important gynaecological problem. This report presents the case of a 65-year-old woman who presented to Keren Regional Referral Hospital, Eritrea, with vaginal bleeding of two and half weeks duration, dizziness and fatigue. On the day of her admission complete blood count and speculum exam were done and she was diagnosed with anaemia due to cervical leech infestation. Routine speculum exam for vaginal bleeding is recommended in cases with history of holy water or springs visits to prevent unnecessary diagnostic tests and for rapid management.
