Secondary immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) as a paraneoplastic syndrome has been reported in literature. It is commonly associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and hodgkins lymphoma. Its association with solid malignancies, especially renal cell cancer is rare, with only a few
The synchronous occurrence of gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) in the stomach and early gastric cancer is uncommon, with only a few previous reports. In particular, the collision of GIST and early gastric cancer in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) has never been
It has been reported that tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is capable of inducing vascular injury, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) of inducing production of acute phase proteins and the maturation of megakaryocytes. Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis with severe inflammation. We
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare form of thrombotic microangiopathy that is characterized by microvascular thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, hemolysis and end organ damage. An extensive variety of drugs, including certain chemotherapeutic agents, have been associated with TTP.
BACKGROUND
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) or IgA-associated vasculitis is related to immune disturbances. Polymorphisms of the heat shock protein 70-2 gene (HSP70-2) and the tumor necrosis factor-a gene (TNF-α) are known to be associated with immune diseases. The purpose of this study was to
BACKGROUND
Adenocarcinoma of the duodenum is a rare cancer and not submitted to the type of clinical trials that guide chemotherapy treatments in other gastrointestinal malignancies.
METHODS
This case demonstrates the potential use for gemcitabine, a chemotherapy typically used in pancreas and
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a thrombotic microangiopathy with neurological disorder which incidence is relatively rare. Since the discovery of the ADAMTS 13 in 1996 and the changes in the treatment (plasma exchanges and rituximab), the prognosis of the TTP has considerably improved.
Although exceptionally, Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) may appear as a paraneoplastic syndrome. We report a patient presenting with HSP. A chest X-ray showed a pulmonary nodule, while biopsy of a transthoracic needle aspiration revealed small cell lung cancer. To the best of our knowledge, HSP as a
The association of solid tumors with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is rare. Before this study, there have been three case reports indicating an association between breast cancer and ITP. We present a 69-year-old man with metastatic breast cancer and progressive thrombocytopenia without
The association of ovarian carcinoma with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is rare. There have been different case reports indicating an association between solid tumors and ITP. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer who presented with abdominal distention
The aim of this study was to define the characteristics of patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and breast cancer and discuss the relationship between these two diseases. Ten patients treated for breast cancer and presenting with ITP were screened for this study. The diagnosis of
The association of solid tumors with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is rare. However, there have been some case reports indicating an association between breast cancer and ITP. In this article four patients with breast cancer and ITP are mentioned. The diagnosis of breast cancer was based
Ten patients with diverse forms of carcinoma (six patients) and of cancer in the lymphoid system (four patients) presented with or subsequently had a syndrome resembling idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). These patients were older than patients who had ITP alone. ITP was coincident with a
Helicobacter pylori infection plays a key role in the pathogenesis of H. pylori-associated diseases, including gastroduodenal and non-gastroduodenal diseases. A 71-year-old man was evaluated for a positive fecal occult blood test by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which revealed H. pylori
BACKGROUND
The association between adult Henoch-Schonlein purpura and prostatic carcinoma is exceptional. We report a new case.
METHODS
The diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma, suspected because of prostatic induration is made after anatomopathological study. The patient has all the clinical
