Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) in a Young Adult: A Rare Presentation and a Multidisciplinary Approach.

A gastrointestinal stromal tumor is a rare gastrointestinal tumor of mesenchymal origin. We present a rare case of a 32-year-old male patient with a history of iron deficiency anemia who presented with nocturnal cramping abdominal pain, nausea, non-bloody vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss.

COVID-19-Associated Nephropathy: A Devastating Complication.

With the rapid emergence and prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 worldwide, cases of COVID-19-associated nephropathy (COVAN) from collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (cFSGS) have been reported, and the associations between the two are actively being studied. Creating appropriate treatment guidelines for COVAN requires further understanding of the pathophysiology of this type of kidney injury. This case report outlines the case of a 77-year-old patient admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 infection with a subsequent renal biopsy indicating cFSGS, adding to the data exploring the relationship between COVID-19 infections, cFSGS and the associated risk factors.

Methotrexate-Induced Lymphoproliferative Disorder Complicating Into Spontaneous Tumor Lysis Syndrome and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.

Lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) is a severe adverse outcome of methotrexate (MTX) administration in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The immunosuppression caused is attributed to pathogenesis. Hence, discontinuation is the treatment.
