Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome is characterized by symmetrical synovitis predominantly involving the wrists, and is associated with marked pitting edema of the dorsum of the hands. Although the etiology of RS3PE syndrome is still unknown, several
Phlegmonous gastritis is a rare, suppurative disease characterized by full-thickness exudative changes, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and edema primarily in the submucosal layer. A 76-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes and myelodysplastic syndrome underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection
An 84-year-old woman presented pancytopenia. She was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with excess blasts-1, however, she declined treatment with azacitidine (AZA). Ten months later, bilaterally symmetrical, non-pitting edema appeared on the lower legs. A skin biopsy of the lower leg
We reported 37 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) of refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia or refractory anemia with excess blasts who were treated with cyclosporin A (CyA)/thalidomide combination therapy. Of them, 19 patients (19/37, 51.4%) achieved a hematologic improvement
We report a case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). A 54-year-old woman, diagnosed as MDS the prior year after evaluation of anemia, visited our hospital with the chief complaint of epigastric discomfort. She also had dysgeusia, alopecia, atrophic nail
A 74-year-old woman presented with edema in the lower extremities. Laboratory tests revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia, and nephrotic-range proteinuria. Myelodysplastic syndrome-refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (MDS-RCMD) was confirmed by bone
A higher complete remission (CR) rate was observed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who, on a prior randomized study of induction therapy, received gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) plus interleukin-11 (IL-11) rather than GO alone. An adaptive randomized phase III study of the addition of
We performed a phase I/II study of recombinant human interleukin-3 (rhIL-3) in 21 patients with aplastic anemia (AA) or myelodysplasia (MDS). Patients received 21-day cycles of IL-3 (0.5, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, or 10 micrograms/kg/d) by subcutaneous injection followed by a 10- to 14-day washout period.
A 72-year-old man was admitted for examination of dyspnea and pitting edema of the lower legs in July, 1996. His hemoglobin level was 6.9 g/dl, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) was revealed by bone marrow aspiration, and frequent transfusions were needed. His renal function rapidly deteriorated in
A 50-year-old female patient, who had had a long-term history of myelodysplastic syndrome and type II diabetes mellitus, had developed acute myelogenous leukemia and received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). She was being treated with tacrolimus, methotrexate and prednisolone for
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is an uncommon but distinctive clinical-radiologic entity characterized by headache, seizures, visual disturbance, and altered mental function associated with reversible white matter edema affecting the posterior parietal and occipital lobes of the
A case of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who suffered alternating proptosis was reported. A 57-year-old Japanese man with MDS developed acute painful left proptosis with eyelid edema, conjunctival injection, visual disturbance, and restriction of eye movements. This lasted for 3 weeks. Computerized
Arsenic trioxide has been used successfully for the treatment of refractory acute promyelocytic leukemia and has shown promise in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), although it is not a labeled indication. Retinoic acid syndrome is manifested by fever, dyspnea, peripheral edema,
