Thrombotic microangiopathy with Atypical Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) after kidney transplantation. A case report.
Neurological manifestation of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) after renal transplantation is rare and difficult to be distinguished from other conditions. A 51-year-old female with ESRD of unknown etiology received deceased donor kidney transplantation from a 57-year-old donor....
Chondrosarcoma of distal phalanx with imaging study; a report of rare case with review of the literature
Chondrosarcoma of distal phalanx is extremely rare and to our best knowledge there was only one case having magnetic resonance ( MR ) imaging study. We report a case of 56-year-old woman developing chondrosarcoma of distal phalanx of the left ring finger. The radiographic and imaging studies highly suggested chondrosarcoma and amputation of distal...
Primary sinonasal mucosal melanoma with CD138 expressed plasmacytoid cells: a case report and review of literature
Primary sinonasal mucosal melanoma is a rare neoplasm. Like in other sites of malignant melanoma, the histopathology is variable and when lacking of melanin pigment, particularly in small biopsy specimen mimicks many neoplasms. Immunohistochemical staining plays an important role. Many immunomarkers, including S-100, HMB-45 and Melan-A should be...
Sclerosing Polycystic Adenosis of the Parotid Gland: Report of A Case with Multifocality
Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare tumor-like lesion of the salivary gland that bears a histomorphological resemblance to fibrocystic disease and sclerosing adenosis of the breast. The lesion is widely considered to be a pseudoneoplastic inflammatory process. However, foci of epithelial dysplasia and carcinoma in situ can occur in the...
Primary Testicular NK/T-cell Lymphoma presented as testicular abscess: A Case Report and Literature Review of 33 cases
Primary testicular NK/T-cell lymphoma is rare. We report a 61-year-old Thai man who presented with right testicular abscess clinically but tissue obtained from incision and drainage was proven to be NK/T-cell lymphoma. The lymphoma cells were small to medium in size and showed angiocentricity with associated necrosis. The lymphoma cells were CD3+...
Traumatic asphyxial death from two-wheel ‘walking behind’ tractor
A 41-year-old man was found suspended 15 cm above the floor, hanging from the long handle-bars of a twowheel ‘walking behind’ tractor. The floor was downward sloping and muddy, which caused the tractor to dig into the floor, raising the long handle bars under the arms of the victim, and pushing him against a pillar....
Non-functioning adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion, mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma – a case report
Adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion is an exceedingly rare occurrence. It can potentially be misinterpreted as hepatocellular carcinoma as they share radiologic and histologic similarities. We report an incidental subcapsular adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion tissue in segment 7 of the liver...
Mantle cell lymphoma presenting as multiple lymphomatous polyposis of colon: A case report.
Mantle cell lymphoma is a clinically aggressive lymphoma with a poor prognosis. Secondary involvement of gastrointestinal tract by this neoplasm is not uncommon but the primary involvement with distinguished multiple lymphomatous polyposis is unusual. We report a case of mantle cell lymphoma presenting as multiple lymphomatous...
Sudden Death from Retroperitoneal Hemorrhage Due to Necrotizing Pancreatitis
We report a case of sudden death from retroperitoneal hemorrhage in 73-year-old male due to rupture of peri-pancreatic artery in acute necrotizing pancreatitis. This appears to be the first case report of sudden death from retroperitoneal hemorrhage due to pancreatitis. The rupture site was not identifiable by gross-exami- nation but it was confirmed...
Neuroendocrine Tumor of the Gallbladder with Hepatic Metastases: A Case Report
A 68-year-old woman presented with hepatic metastasis. She had been performed cholecystectomy at a provincial hospital for symptomatic gallstones and was diagnosed as poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder. The follow-up hepatic segmentectomy revealed a malignant small round tumor composed of nests of cells containing small nuclei...
