Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy following typhoid AB vaccination and terminating in disseminated infection

Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AIL) followed typhoid AB vaccination in a patient whose subsequent clinical course was rapidly progressive. At autopsy, extensive lymphadenopathy with features characteristic of AIL and disseminated infection with Escherichia coli, Candida, and Aspergillus were seen. Vaccination is a presumptive precipitating factor in AIL.     

Enchondroma: a case report and literature review

An unusual case of enchondroma located in the distal phalanx of the left third toe is presented with a review of literature. An enchondroma is a benign tumor centrally located in a bone. This osseous dysplasia is characterized by an excess of mature hypertrophic hyaline cartilage that has not resorbed or ossified in the normal fashion. Pathologic, clinical, and radiographic findings will be discussed.     

Sclerosing glomerulonephritis and malignant hypertension in a patient with congenital renal dysplasia: A case report

A patient with a single functioning kidney presented with the nephrotic syndrome. On the basis of highly selective proteinuria, a diagnosis was made of lipoid nephrosis. Steroid therapy over a 2-year period did not control the disease. The patient eventually developed end-stage renal failure and malignant hypertension. Nephrectomy was performed to control the hypertension. Histological examination showed congenital dysplasia in one kidney and sclerosing glomerulonephritis, malignant nephrosclerosis, as well as dysplastic changes in the other.
