Three different liver lesions were found in a 20-year-old woman with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. The lesions included nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver, perisinusoidal fibrosis, and peliosis hepatis. It is suggested that the association of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with
To investigate pulmonary involvement in immunoblastic lymphadenopathy (IBL), we report five cases of IBL and 21 other reports from the literature published in Japan. Three of the present patients had respiratory symptoms and showed hypoxemia on admission. Radiographic findings in the present cases
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of dual time-point (DTP) PET/CT with (18)F-FDG to discriminate between malignant and benign lymphadenopathies. The relationship between DTP FDG uptake and glucose metabolism/hypoxia markers in lymphadenopathies was also
A 68-year-old woman presenting dyspnea on exertion was admitted. Hypoxemia and a considerably elevated level of serum KL-6 were noted. Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans demonstrated panlobular ground-glass opacities with a mosaic distribution and hilar and mediastinal
An 82-year-old man had been treated by carbamazepine for convulsions. A month later he felt febrile and malaise. Laboratory data revealed liver dysfunction, hypoxemia, and chest radiograph and computed tomography (CT) of the thorax showed ground glass opacity in both lungs and mediastinal
Aplastic crisis in patients with sickle cell disease who develop a parvovirus infection may be associated with extensive bone marrow necrosis as well as acute selective erythroblastopenia. This illness may be manifested by pyrexia, lymphadenopathy, bone tenderness and significant hypoxemia with
Fever of unknown origin (FUO) has many possible causes, so detailed history taking and physical examination are required. We identified key diagnostic features of medical history and physical findings for an efficient diagnosis of FUO.
A total of 42 consecutive patients (mean age: 50.6±20.3 years)
BACKGROUND
This study reviewed the demographics, presentation, management, complications and outcomes of acute epiglottitis post Haemophilus influenzae type-b vaccine introduction in Australia.
METHODS
Retrospective review of acute epiglottitis at four Victorian tertiary centres from 2011 to 2016
From October 1991 through April 1992, 16 infants aged 5 to 25 months (mean age 14.3 months) underwent bronchoscopy with a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope, under local anesthesia. The technique is described in detail. Reasons for bronchoscopy included recurrent or persistent pneumonia (n = 4),
A 70-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with fever, generalized lymphadenopathy and hypoxia in October 2009. Blood examination demonstrated leukocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia and hyper γ-globulinemia. Peripheral blood and bone marrow smear showed marked plasma cell proliferation mimicking
A 68-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to fever and rash on the neck and extremities. Laboratory findings revealed hepatic dysfunction and positivity for anti-mitochondrial M2 antibody (AMA-M2). Hepatosplenomegaly and systemic lymphadenopathy were detected by enhanced computed
A 62-year-old female suspected of malignant disease underwent a splenectomy that revealed noncaseating granulomas in the histological specimen. Chest X-ray (CXR) and lung CT scans suggested sarcoidosis stage II. TBLB showed noncaseating granulomas. A diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made. Initially no
The proviral DNA of human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type I (HTLV-I) is known to be integrated monoclonally in the malignant cells of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), which is a peripheral T-cell malignancy caused by this virus. We studied the relationship between the integration patterns of
BACKGROUND
Intravascular lymphoma is rare, and may present as ischemic stroke. Diagnosis is difficult due to the non-specific presentation and lack of lymphadenopathy, thus leading to frequent instances of autopsy-proven diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of
A 35-year-old female was started on hydralazine 10 mg orally three times a day for treatment of postpartum hypertension. Three months later, after multiple unsuccessful courses of prednisone and antibiotics for presumed pneumonia and asthma exacerbations, her respiratory symptoms progressed in
