Infantile systemic hyalinosis and juvenile hyaline fibromatosis are presumably autosomal recessive inherited diseases of unknown origin in which accumulation of an amorphous, hyaline material occurs in the skin and other organs. Both disorders may show clinical overlapping, suggesting that they
Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare benign lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. This report concerns a 56-year-old female who presented with intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea; she had had partial intestinal obstruction over a period of two months. Plain abdomen showed dilatation
Gross examination of a 24-month-old, male cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) revealed obstruction of the ileum by a mass that entrapped and compressed the ileocecal junction. The mass was well circumscribed, firm, and white on cut surface. Histologically, the mass consisted of spindle-shaped
A 25-year-old male patient who had a brother with Crohn's disease was referred to our clinic with bloody diarrhea and crampy abdominal pain. After a plain erect abdominal X-ray, enteroclysis was performed, followed by abdominopelvic CT. Besides the radiological features of CD, both enteroclysis and
A simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (SAIDS) associated with retroperitoneal fibromatosis (RF) has been observed in several species of macaque at the Washington Regional Primate Research Center. Clinical signs were recurrent diarrhea, weight loss, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, and opportunistic
The epidemiology of diarrhea in colony-born M. nemestrina was studied in 205 neonates and infants in an Infant Primate Research Laboratory (IPRL), and in 248 neonates, juveniles and adolescents up to 4 years of age at a separate breeding and holding facility (Primate Field Station, PFS).
OBJECTIVE
This study was designed to describe clinical, endoscopic, and histopathologic features of an inflammatory fibroid polyp occurring in the pelvic ileal reservoir after restorative proctocolectomy in ulcerative colitis.
METHODS
A case report describing the clinical course of such a patient is
Several studies have reported that imatinib may induce tumor responses and prolonged disease stabilization in aggressive fibromatosis (AF). This effect may relate to the PDGFR-β pathway and KIT mutations. Sunitinib not only inhibits PDGFRs, KIT, and FLT3, it also blocks VEGFRs and thus serves as an
A spontaneous multifocal subcutaneous fibromatosis is described in 6 pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) with simian acquired immune deficiency syndrome (simian AIDS). The lesions consisted of a proliferation of vascular fibrous tissue that was infiltrated by lymphocytes and plasma cells. One
Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HFS) is the unifying term for infantile systemic hyalinosis and juvenile hyaline fibromatosis. HFS is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the connective tissue caused by mutations in the gene for anthrax toxin receptor-2 (ANTXR2). It is characterized by abnormal
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the prevalence of women diagnosed with uterine fibroids and the associated symptom burden in the US.
METHODS
Responses of women aged 18-54 years, who completed an online survey, were analyzed. Data were weighted based on age, education, race, geographic region, income, and
BACKGROUND
It has been suggested that juvenile hyaline fibromatosis and infantile systemic hyalinosis represent different severities of the same disease.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to redefine these disorders clearly to establish a common inclusive terminology.
METHODS
The study included two children with
BACKGROUND
The treatment paradigm in desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) has changed in recent years from a surgery-based strategy to a multidisciplinary approach that includes systemic therapies. Among various medical therapies, hydroxyurea has been considered of potential interest. This case series
Four infants with stiff skin and painful joint contractures in the first few months of life are described. Other features included small papules, particularly on the face and trunk, perianal nodules, hyperpigmentation over the metacarpophalangeal joints and over the malleoli, gingival hyperplasia,
