Septic polyarthritis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae: primary pneumococcal pneumonia as a risk factor in older patients? A case report.

Septic polyarthritis associated to Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia is rarely seen and deserves description. In the present report, the case of a 77-year-old man with a 3-day clinical history of arthritis lacking anamnesis of trauma is discussed. Physical examination showed inflammatory signs and elevated inflammatory parameters in blood samples.

Rare cause of dysphagy: giant polypoid esophageal well-differentiated liposarcoma.

Liposarcoma represents one of the most frequent (10-20%) malignant mesenchymal tumors in the adult, affecting mostly the soft tissue of extremities, the trunk or the retroperitoneum. This tumor type occurs exceptionally rarely in the gastrointestinal tract with only few cases described in the literature. In this case we present a 73-year-old male patient who was admitted due to loss of weight, anorexia and postprandial emesis with dysphagy.
