A very unusual radiographic presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) involving the maxilla is described. The patient was initially managed with antibiotics prescribed to treat what was thought to represent an odontogenic infection. After unsuccessful antibiotic therapy, the patient was referred to an oral surgery clinic where CBCT was performed. CBCT revealed an atypical generalized sclerosis of the affected bone rather than the usual lytic radiographic pattern associated with NHL. Destruction of the sinus floor with infiltration of the sinus was also present. This rare radio-opaque radiographic presentation is described in detail together with the clinical presentation and histopathological findings. The important radiographic features suggesting malignancy that were present in this atypical case of NHL are discussed. A differential diagnosis highlighting the differences between NHL, osteomyelitis and osteosarcoma is also provided. 相似文献

The outcomes in systemic AL amyloidosis are dependent on the depth of haematologic response. However, there is limited data on the impact of the speed of response on outcomes. Here we report the impact of speed of response in a cohort of AL patients treated with upfront Bortezomib. Patients seen from February 2010 until August 2019 are included in the present analysis. 1194 & 1133 patients comprised the ITT and 1-month landmark cohorts. In the landmark cohort, 137 (11.5%), 270 (22.6%), 252 (21.1%) and 352 (31.1%) patients had a CR, VGPR, PR and NR at 1-month. Patients with ≥ VGPR at 1-month had significantly better survival (median not reached; at the end of 1, 2, 5,10 years, 87%/92%, 83%/87%, 68%/72% and 63%/58% of patients in CR/VGPR, respectively, were alive) compared to those with a PR (median OS 60 months) or NR (median OS 32 months) (p < 0.005). At 1-month, patients with CR and iFLC < 20 mg/l had a significantly better survival compared to CR and iFLC > 20 mg/l (p = 0.005). Reaching ≥ VGPR at 1-month significantly improved survival in all Mayo disease stages. In conclusion, patients achieving an early deep haematologic response have a significantly superior survival irrespective of cardiac involvement.Subject terms: Myeloma, Prognosis 相似文献

We report a 30-day-old baby with subcutaneous fat necrosis and symptomatic hypercalcemia, who developed metastatic calcification
in the subcutaneous tissue, kidneys, pericardium and brain. The baby also had anemia, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia.
He was managed with intravenous saline, furosemide, oral steroids and bisphosphonates and improved with treatment. 相似文献

Symptomatic hyponatremia due to syndrome of inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (SIADH) in infancy is seen usually with pneumonia and meningitis and its association with deep neck abscess is not documented. Recognition and appropriate management of this complication is important to prevent mortality and long-term neurological morbidity. We report a 3-month-old infant with parapharyngeal abscess presenting with altered sensorium and recurrent seizures as a result of hyponatremia due to SIADH. The clinical course and outcome is described. Limitation of imaging modalities in an infant with airway compromise is discussed. 相似文献

A 7-day-old male baby was referred with history of persistent multifocal convulsions from second day of life. He was found to have hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, normal serum magnesium and normal renal function tests. Serum parathormone was found to be elevated. Baby was diagnosed as case of pseudohypoparathyroidism and was treated with calcium supplementation and calcitriol. At 9 months he was asymptomatic on treatment, with normal serum calcium and phosphorus. 相似文献

Objective
The aims of this study were (1) to subjectively quantify the degree of scratching and smudging that had taken place in the junior clinic in the 9 months following the implementation of digital radiology; (2) to compare the findings with a previously published report; and (3) to identify areas in the protocol and training that can be refined to minimize future scratching and smudging.Methods
Seven sets of blank clinical photostimulable storage phosphor (PSP) plates were scanned after exposing them at 65 kV and 7 mA for 0.80 s. Scanned plates were lightly wiped with a soft cloth and alcohol, repackaged in plastic sleeves, re-exposed and rescanned. The two sets of resulting images were subjectively rated independently by two investigators for artefacts and placed in five categories.Results
Of all the images, approximately 75% were rated in the top 3 categories (most readable), leaving 17% and 8% in the poor and unsatisfactory categories, respectively. Mean rated values of the two image sets (before and after wiping) were not statistically different, but ratings slightly improved after cleaning the plates.Conclusions
Wiping all plates to remove surface contamination may not always be necessary or desirable. Systems that are designed to minimize handling of the plates may help minimize scratching of them. 相似文献39.
Recurrent abdominal pain is a common problem in children that may need invasive procedures for diagnosis. Hereditary angioedema
(HAE) is rarely considered in the differential diagnosis. Here it is reported a girl with HAE, who presented initially as
recurrent abdominal pain without cutaneous manifestations. Each episode was managed elsewhere as an acute surgical emergency
and an exploratory laparotomy was planned. Diagnosis was confirmed by quantitative assay of C1 inhibitor. On detailed evaluation,
many members of her family were affected. 相似文献

BackgroundTransbronchial cryobiopsies has become increasingly used in the diagnostic workup in patients suspected of having interstitial lung disease. The procedure is associated with less complications, morbidity and mortality compared to surgical lung biopsies although with a diagnostic yield that is not as high, but close to that of surgical lung biopsies. The aim of the present study was to describe the complications and diagnostic yield and their prognostic factors.MethodsAll patients undergoing transbronchial cryobiopsies at the Department of Respiratory Diseases and Allergy, Aarhus University Hospital, were included in this prospective observational cohort study.ResultsA total of 250 patients were included [61% male, mean age 66 years (range, 22–81 years)]. Pneumothorax was detected in 70 (28%) of the patients, moderate hemorrhage in 53 (21%) and severe hemorrhage in 2 (1%) of the patients. Hemorrhage was associated with central biopsies, but not with anticoagulant therapy. None of the complications were related to lung function, exercise capacity, biopsy or probe size. Only one patient experienced an acute exacerbation. Three-month mortality was 0.4% (1 patient), caused by cancer and unrelated to the procedure. Cryobiopsies contributed to the final diagnosis in 72% of the patients and after multidisciplinary team discussion, a consensus diagnosis was obtained in 82% of the patients. The gender, the total sum of biopsy sizes, number of biopsies and presence of more than 50% alveolar tissue in biopsies increased the diagnostic yield.ConclusionsOur study confirms that using cryobiopsies in the diagnostic setup for interstitial lung diseases is safe with a limited risk of acute exacerbations and mortality. Cryobiopsies contribute to the diagnosis in the majority of patients. 相似文献
