Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is a lymphoproliferative disorder confined to the liver, with no evidence of lymphomatous involvement in other organs. Here, we report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-type PHL in a patient with a long history of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A 78-year-old woman presented with epigastralgia and was found to have a solitary liver tumor by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).

- Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is increasingly problematic, especially in young people, leading to skin and soft tissue infections.
- A case study discussed a 15-year-old girl with multiple swollen lymph nodes due to the ST834 strain of CA-MRSA, which was confirmed through tests on lymph node samples.
- Treatment involved linezolid followed by oral clindamycin, highlighting that ST834 CA-MRSA strains, though rare, are linked to conditions like lymphadenitis more frequently than other strains.
Article Synopsis
- A woman in her 40s with a history of high ferritin levels was referred for treatment after undergoing multiple blood draws to manage hemosiderosis, but did not show symptoms of iron overload.
- After genetic testing, she was diagnosed with ferroportin disease, which causes iron to be trapped in tissues rather than being properly exported from the body.
- During her pregnancy, her ferritin levels remained stable and postpartum anemia was effectively treated with a short course of iron supplements, indicating a less severe approach to managing her condition is advisable compared to other forms of hemochromatosis.
