A Massive Ewing Sarcoma of the Rib: A Case Report with Literature Review.

A 9-year-old boy with a 16 cm chest wall mass, presenting with progressive cough and exertional dyspnea, was finally diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma of the rib. Such massive tumors usually present with metastasis and carry a bad prognosis. Fortunately, we present here a successful treatment approach for Ewing sarcoma of the ribs, defeating the overwhelming obstacles commonly faced in chest wall tumors.

Prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease on maintenance hemodialysis.

The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SHT) has been reported to be much higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than in the general population. SHT has been identified as a strong predictor of mortality and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in CKD. The study aimed to provide local data on the prevalence of SHT in CKD patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
