Lymphatic filariasis is a major public health problem in the developing countries. In India, around 90% of the cases are attributed to Wuchereria bancrofti species morphologically identified as sheathed parasites with tail tip free of nuclei. Microfilariae have been described in urine specimens from patients with chylous and achylous hematuria as well as in a spectrum of other body fluids. Case reports describe their presence in aspirates from numerous neoplasms. However, their association with urothelial carcinoma in urine sediment has been rather rare with only three cases described previously. We report three cases of filariasis in urine cytology, one of which was associated with atypical urothelial cells. Our aim is to stress on the possibility of concomitant filariasis in body fluids and aspirates with other significant findings, especially in endemic areas. Identification of the same renders complete diagnosis and proper treatment to the patient. 相似文献

Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of smooth muscle origin most common in areas of the body with abundant smooth muscle including the gynecologic, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal system. Leiomyoma outside of these locations is believed to arise from vascular smooth muscle and arrector pili muscles. Leiomyoma of an extremity is a rare diagnosis, especially when present in a digit of the hand due to the paucity of smooth muscle in this location. We report three cases of leiomyoma of a digit of the hand. 相似文献

Pituicytoma: ultrastructural evidence of a possible origin from folliculo-stellate cells of the adenohypophysis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Pituicytoma is a rare neoplasm occurring in the sellar and suprasellar regions. The tumor is currently considered to arise from the pituicyte, a specialized glial cell of the posterior lobe and the stalk of the pituitary gland. The authors describe a case of pituicytoma, focusing on the ultrastructural features. The patient was a 79-year-old woman with hypopituitarism and visual disturbances. Immunohistochemically, the tumor showed strong and diffuse positivity for vimentin, and EMA and GFAP were focally detectable. Ultrastructurally, the lesion was composed of elongated cells containing in the Golgi area aggregates of intermediate filaments in a concentric pathway (fibrous body), and secretory granules. These features intermediate between a pituicytoma and a pituitary adenoma suggest that ``pituicytomaś´ may also arise from the specialized stromal folliculo-stellate cells of the adenohypophysis, which are able to differentiate into endocrine cells. 相似文献

We report on two boys and a girl with interstitial deletion in the short arm of chromosome 4 including the segment p15.2p15.33. All had normal growth with psychomotor retardation, multiple minor congenital anomalies, and a characteristic face distinct from that of the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. One of the patients had congenitally enlarged penis. These patients resemble some of the previously reported patients with similar cytogenetic abnormalities and suggests the recognition of a specific clinical chromosome deletion syndrome. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

B-cell lymphomas associated with breast implants: Report of three cases and review of the literature
Since the first reported case in 1997, over 600 women with breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BI ALCL) have been reported. BI ALCL is a CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma that carries clonal T-cell receptor gene rearrangements, and a subset of cases harbors mutations in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Rarely, other histologic types of lymphoma have been reported in association with breast implants, including fewer than 10 cases of B-cell origin. Here, we describe three additional patients with B-cell lymphoma occurring around breast implants. Two of these patients developed extranodal marginal zone lymphoma in the peri-implant capsule, one of which had a concurrent ALCL within the superficial lining of the capsule. The third patient presented with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma inside the breast parenchyma surrounding her implant. Determining the etiology and risk factors for the development of B-cell lymphomas associated with breast implants remains challenging, given the wide spectrum of histologic features and the rarity of these neoplasms. Ultimately, we document three new cases of B-cell lymphoma arising around breast implants and highlight their clinical and pathologic features in order to expand our understanding of this rare disease presentation. 相似文献

Giant intrasellar aneurysm presenting with panhypopituitarism and subarachnoid hemorrhage: case report and literature review 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

A 52-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage, left ophthalmoplegia, and right hemiparesis. Previous symptoms and signs suggested the presence of panhypopituitarism. A giant intracranial aneurysm of the internal carotid artery, diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging, showed the characteristic flow void phenomenon with black appearance. Analysis of endocrine function disclosed panhypopituitarism and hyperprolactinemia. After proximal balloon occlusion of the aneurysm, diabetes insipidus developed. Pituitary function reassessed 6 months after initial admission confirmed anterior and posterior hypopituitarism and hyperprolactinemia. Possible mechanisms are discussed. A review of the literature on pituitary dysfunction caused by carotid artery aneurysms discloses that the pituitary-gonadal axis is the most frequently involved (67.5% of cases), followed by the pituitary-adrenal axis (48.6%) and the pituitary-thyroid axis (40.5%). These frequencies are very similar to those described in other types of hypopituitarism.Abbreviations ICA

Pituitary carcinomas are rare malignant neoplasms with diagnostic and management challenges. Patients with pituitary carcinomas have extremely poor outcomes. In this report, the authors describe two cases of pituitary carcinomas with intraspinal metastasis (Case 1: 42-year-old man with a history of pituitary adenoma 16 years ago developed an intraspinal lesion at C4-C5; Case 2: 26-year-old women with a history of growth hormone-producing pituitary adenoma 9 years ago developed intraspinal lesion in the sacral canal). Both patients underwent spine surgery. The intraspinal lesions were confirmed as metastatic pituitary carcinomas based on the histomorphology and immunohistochemical stains. The authors reviewed the literature for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of intraspinal metastasis from pituitary carcinomas. 相似文献

Filippi syndrome is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by variable soft tissue syndactyly of the fingers and toes, microcephaly, pre- and postnatal growth retardation, mildly abnormal craniofacial appearance, and mental retardation. We report on three unrelated individuals with Filippi syndrome. All have microcephaly, minor facial anomalies, variable syndactyly of digits, growth impairment, and developmental delay. One patient also has polydactyly, which has not been reported previously in the Filippi syndrome. Am. J. Med. Genet. 87:128–133, 1999. © 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Human pulmonary dirofilariasis. Report of three cases and brief review of the literature 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A S Kochar 《American journal of clinical pathology》1985,84(1):19-23
Three patients with human pulmonary dirofilariasis are presented. The clinical, parasitologic, and pathologic features of this entity are discussed, and the literature is briefly reviewed. A condition that generally has been considered to be an innocuous process can manifest with repeated pulmonary infarctions and multiple pulmonary nodules. At present, there are no distinguishing clinical, roentgenographic, or laboratory features that permit its diagnosis preoperatively. The purpose of this article is to add three more cases to the literature and to increase awareness of this clinicopathologic entity. 相似文献

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare and serious syndrome of central nervous system that can develop in both adults and children. It is characterized by acute onset of headache, confusion, seizures or focal neurological deficits along with radiological findings of white matter abnormalities in the parietal and occipital lobes. In the past ten years, this syndrome has been described mainly in adults, rare in children. Here, we report a case of PRES presenting in a 12-year-old girl with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Her neurological symptom was rapidly recovered after control of hypertension without discontinuation of cyclosporine A. 相似文献

A 15-month-old infant's peripheral blood chromosome analysis showed the following defects: 46,XY,r(10)(p15.3q26.1) in 84 cells, 45,XY,?r(10) in 13 cells, and 47,XY,r(10),+r(10) in one cell. Clinical abnormalities included growth retardation, microcephaly, prominent nasal bridge, macular hypoplasia, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and posterior urethral valves with hydronephrosis. Comparison of the phenotype of five other patients with a ring chromosome 10 with the present case showed the following common manifestations: growth retardation, microcephaly, undescended testes, hydronephrosis, and, in males, posterior urethral valves. To date, this last anomaly has not been seen in patients with either a del(10p) or a del(10q) abnormality. 相似文献

Two cases of nodular hidradenoma of the breast with possibly different origins are reported. Case 1 is of a 58 year-old female wlth a breast mass in the left, outer lower-quadrant. A histogenetical origin in the skin adnexal glands was suspected due to its superficial location and immuno-histochemical findlngs. Case 2 is of a 44-yearold male with a subareolar nodule and nipple discharge. Histological examlnation demonstrated that the tumor was located deep in the breast tissue, was surrounded by dilated mammary ducts and exhibited intraductal extenslons, which are all features mlmicking those of breast cancer. Immunohlsto-chemical positivity against gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 was weakly Identified and negativity for endo-plasrnic reticulum was observed. This case can be interpreted as arising In the mammary ducts. It is well known that various kinds of skin adnexal tumors arise in the breast tissue; however, nodular hidradenoma of the breast is still a rare benign neoplasm. Cllnically, nodular hidradenoma of the breast tends to occur in the nipple or subareolar region of the female breast. It should be kept in mind that nodular hidradenoma may occur in mammary ducts and it should be included when differential diagnoses are made of subare olar breast tumors. 相似文献

The acronym CHARGE refers to a syndrome of unknown cause. Here we report on 47 CHARGE patients evaluated for the frequency of major anomalies, namely coloboma (79%), heart malformation (85%), choanal atresia (57%), growth and/or mental retardation (100%), genital anomalies (34%), ear anomalies (91%), and/or deafness (62%). In addition, we comment on anomalies observed very frequently in neonates and infants with the CHARGE syndrome, including, minor facial anomalies, neonatal brain stem dysfunction with cranial nerve palsy, and, mostly, internal ear anomalies such as semicircular canal hypoplasia that were found in each patient that could be tested. We propose several criteria for poor survival including male gender, central nervous system and/or oesophageal malformations, and bilateral choanal atresia. No predictive factor regarding developmental prognosis could be identified in our series. A significantly higher mean paternal age at conception together with concordance in monozygotic twins and the existence of rare familial cases support the role of genetic factors such as de novo mutation of a dominant gene or subtle sub-microscopic chromosome rearrangement. Finally, the combination of malformations in CHARGE syndrome strongly supports the view that this multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation syndrome is a polytopic developmental field defect involving the neural tube and the neural crests cells.
