BACKGROUND
The most common categories causing fevers of unknown origin (FUOs) include infective rheumatic/inflammatory disorders and malignancies. Among neoplastic causes of FUOs, lymphomas, hepatomas, renal hypo-nephromas, and hepatomas are the most common. Other malignancies rarely present with
A 47-year-old man presented with fever of unknown origin, generalized weakness, edema, and renal failure. He had left-sided pleural effusion, generalized lymphadenopathy, multiple nontender cutaneous nodules, hepatomegaly, renal failure, and hypergammaglobulinemia. Axillary lymph node biopsy showed
A 55-year-old man was admitted for evaluation of chronic abdominal pain and fever. Computed tomography demonstrated a retroperitoneal inflammatory process involving the mesenteric root. Adipose tissue biopsy showed panniculitis mesenterica with granulomas. Further examinations confirmed the
A 69-year-old male presented with fever, ascites and leg edema in February, 1994. He had a pathological fracture of cervical supine in October. Pathological findings at operation showed plasmacytoma. Bone marrow aspiration showed 16.2% myeloma cells. So he was diagnosed as multiple myeloma
A 42-year-old man with prolonged dexamethasone use because of recurred plasmacytoma developed fever and tender red swelling of the right upper leg and arm. The patient turned out to have pyomysitis, caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
METHODS
A 60-year-old man was found on routine examination to have an enlarged, firm, cervical lymph node. He looked older than his age and his general condition was poor. He had no fever, nocturnal sweating or weight loss. Further examination revealed no hepatosplenomegaly on palpation, but
The current work was undertaken in order to assess the role of the monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Salmonella typhi in the induction of passive protection against the challenge with the bacteria in a mice model. BALB/c mice were immunized with the whole bacteria, mice
Solitary bone plasmacytoma (SPB) can progress to generalized myeloma if not treated early. The elderly population is increasing and delays in diagnosis of plasma cell malignancies are frequent among them. Hyperglobulinemia of multiple myeloma (MM) plays a role in hyperviscosity syndrome (HVS). A
Pyrexia of unknown origin has always been a challenging problem to diagnose for physicians. Here we present a case of a splenic tumor, which after histopathology and immunohistochemistry, two possibilities were considered, a diffuse large cell lymphoma--plasmablastic variant and second an anaplastic
An 81-year-old man with a 1 year history of Sjögren's syndrome and hypergammaglobulinemic purpura was admitted because of high fever and lymphadenopathy. Primary nodal plasmacytoma was suggested from the microscopic and immunohistochemical findings of an inguinal lymph node biopsy specimen. Although
We report a rare case of extramedullary plasmacytoma, which arose either in the ileum or the ileal mesentery. A 70-year-old woman presented with a high fever and symptoms of bowel obstruction. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large heterogeneous tumor in the peritoneal
Solitary plasmacytoma of the bone, especially of a single rib, is a rare disease. We present the case of a 44-year-old Han Chinese man who was diagnosed with a solitary plasmacytoma of the bone located in the right sixth rib. The patient presented with a 4-year history of continuous pain in the
Testicular plasmocytomas are rare neoplasias that may occur as isolated tumors or in concomitance with a multiple myeloma. We report the case of a 47-year-old man with previous history of multiple myeloma. He presented with persistant fever and right testicular mass which was confirmed by scrotal
The renewed interest in the possible use of localized hyperthermia in cancer therapy is prompted by two major realizations. The first is the radiobiological evidence indicating that there may be a significant advantage in the use of heat alone or combined with radiation therapy or chemotherapy to
