Aim: To describe the case of rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder — pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia in the patient with previous pulmonary tuberculosis. Materials and Methods: In the case of pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia clinical, laboratory, instrumental and morphological examination was performed. Results: 44-year-old woman in 7 years after successfully treated infiltrative drug-susceptible tuberculosis of the right lung, was hospitalized with a suspected tumor of the left lung root. The patient underwent left-sided pneumonectomy with lymph nodes dissection. The results of histopathological and immunohistochemical studies evidenced on nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the left lung. Conclusion: Pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of the lung with favorable prognosis. For the purpose of differential diagnosis, it is necessary to apply immunohistochemistry.

The chronic recurrent abdominal syndrome (CRAS) in the right lower fossa in children is believed not to be independent nosological unit and is diagnosed as an exception. We carried out comparative studies of the clinical picture, results of morphological and immunohistochemical studies of remote appendicitis in 55 CRAS children and 35 children with acute destructive appendicitis. The low prognostic significance of appendicular scales for the determination of indications to the surgical treatment of CRAS was established. Morphological examination in most cases revealed signs of chronic inflammation with fibrosis of the mucosa and submucosa of the appendix in CRAS children. Immunohistochemical studies revealed the pronounced expression of protein VEGF, MMP-9 and VCAM-1 predominantly in the submucosal and the muscular layer, moderate expression for Collagen-III-alpha-1. The low number of positively stained cells for the VIP protein located both in the mucosa and in the submucosa. The number of MMP-9-positive cells was the largest, there was seen a moderate amount of VEGF, VIP and Collagen-III-alpha-1-positive cells. The disappearance of the abdominal syndrome after appendectomy was noted in 6% of CRAS patients. Recurrence of pain was observed in girls of pubertal age with the irregular menstrual cycle. The established changes in remote appendicitis, other than acute inflammation, make it possible to consider reasonable appendectomy as a way of treating CRAS in children.

Abstract A study of consecutive bone marrow aspirates from 365 patients without lymphoproliferative disorder, ten patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and 25 patients with malignant lymphoma disclosed a clear separation of normal from abnormal lymphoid nodules (LN). Normal LN were found in 47% of patients and were classified into lymphoid follicles and lymphoid infiltrates. A new entity, nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (NLH), was diagnosed on ten bone marrows which contained a low-power field displaying four or more lymphoid nodules or showed a lymphoid nodule larger than 0.6 mm. The clinical significance of nodular lymphoid hyperplasia remains unknown; in certain cases it represents a precursor state of a mature lymphocytic lymphoproliferative disorder. Nodular aggregates in CLL are of the infiltrate type and exhibit a tendency to confluence. Eleven of the 25 patients with malignant lymphoma displayed lymphoreticular nodules which were cytologically similar to the original lymphoma and different from normal LN. Two patients, one with reticulum cell sarcoma and one with Hodgkin’s disease, showed NLH of the bone marrow. Bone marrow LN in patients with an established diagnosis of mature lymphocytic lymphoma have to be interpreted with the utmost caution. Confluence of LN, irregular shapes, and the presence of prolymphocytes and lymphoblasts speak for lymphomatous nodules. Additional clinicopathologic studies are necessary to sharpen the distinction between NLH and well-differentiated lymphoproliferative disorders.

Immunohistochemical Studies

Pseudolymphomatous folliculitis (PLF) is a rare disease of cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia, with a low index of clinical suspicion. We present the clinical case of a 19-year-old male patient, with a solitary violet erythematous nodule of 6 months of evolution, located in the right infraorbital region, without presenting another symptomatology. Histopathological examination showed a lymphocytic infiltrate that surrounds the hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands that focally destroy their basement membrane. PLF was diagnosed based on histological and immunohistochemical studies. In the multiple studies and case reports, the variability of the initial clinical diagnosis never corresponds to PLF, becoming a pathology with a low suspect index.

Histopathologic Diagnosis

Pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia is an uncommon reactive lymphoproliferative disorder that presents as an asymptomatic lung mass. The histopathologic diagnosis of pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia may be challenging because of its morphologic overlap with other diseases, such as extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue and immunoglobulin G4–related sclerosing disease. Despite the similarities, there are distinctive morphologic and phenotypic features that allow for the correct diagnosis in the majority of cases. This review aims to discuss the clinicopathologic features of pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia and contrast them with its histopathologic mimickers.

The lumbar vertebrae are the most common site for fracture incident because of its high mobility. The spinal cord injury usually happened as a result of a direct traumatic blow to the spine causing fractured and compressed spinal cord. A 38-year-old man presented with lumbar spine’s compression fracture at L2 level. In this patient, decompression laminectomy, stabilization, and fusion were done by posterior approach. The operation was successful, according to the X-Ray and patient’s early mobilization. Pneumothorax of the right lung and pleural effusion of the left lung occurred in this patient, so consultation was made to a cardiothoracic surgeon. Chest tube and WSD insertion were performed to treat the comorbidities. Although the patient had multiple trauma that threat a patient’s life, the management was done quickly, so the problems could be solved thus saving the patient’s life. After two months follow up, the patient could already walk and do daily activities independently.
