Life threating onset of Cardiac Sarcoidosis with mediastinal involvement.

We have described a clinical case with atypical onset of sarcoidosis. A young patient presented to the emergency room with acute heart failure and severe cardiac dysfunction simulating dilated cardiomyopathy or severe myocarditis. Hypoxic respiratory failure refractory to oxygen therapy was treated with steroids.

The comprehensive clinic, laboratory, and instrumental evaluation of children with COVID-19: A 6-months prospective study.

Objectives: To perform a comprehensive clinic, laboratory, and instrumental evaluation of children affected by coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Methods: Children with a positive result of nasopharyngeal swab for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) underwent laboratory tests, anal and conjunctival swab, electrocardiography, lung, abdomen, and cardiac ultrasound. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed if abnormal basal blood pressure.

A Rare and Severe Complication Following Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration: Retropharyngeal Cellulitis.

Introduction: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is the most accurate and cost-effective method for evaluating thyroid nodules. We have reported a rare complication related to the procedure: severe retropharyngeal cellulitis.

Case Presentation: A thirty-five-year-old female was admitted to hospital with hoarseness, laryngeal stridor and dyspnea without fever that emerged about 3 days after a first diagnostic FNA.

Giant infiltrating lipoma of the face: CT and MR imaging findings.

Infiltrating lipoma is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm that characteristically infiltrates adjacent tissues and tends to recur after excision. This type of lipoma is extremely rare in the head and neck region. We report a case of a giant infiltrating lipoma of the face, studied with CT and MR imaging.

Small bowel metastases of lung cancer as unique metastatic lesions: CT, MRI and small bowel enema findings. a case report.

Small bowel metastases of lung cancer as unique secondary lesions are a very rare occurrence and may be clinically missed due to the aspecificity of the symptoms. Diagnosis is usually made at acute abdominal symptomatology that requires emergency surgical treatment. We report a case of 69-year-old woman, previously treated for epidermoid lung carcinoma, complaining only of aspecific asthenia; blood cell count and chemistry showed a moderate but progressive anemia; no signs of small bowel occlusion were present.
