Mantle Cell Lymphoma Relapsing as Disease of Skin, Orbit and CNS: An Extremely Rare Presentation and a Review of Literature.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma originating from mature B cells. The hallmark gene translocation (11:14) results in overexpression of cyclin D1. Affected extranodal sites include bone marrow and gastrointestinal tract, but skin, orbit or CNS are rarely involved.

Diagnostic yield from colon biopsies in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and suspected cytomegalovirus infection: is it worth it?

Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are often immunosuppressed and are at risk for reactivation of latent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. We examined the diagnostic yield from colon biopsies in IBD patients with suspected CMV infection.

Methods: Patients above 18 years of age who underwent testing for CMV on colon biopsies between January 1st, 2012, and December 31st, 2015, were identified from a pathology data base.

Rare cause of atrial fibrillation: a thymic mass.

A 62-year-old African-American man admitted to the emergency room with chest pain and exertional dyspnoea. He was found to be in rapid atrial fibrillation with pulmonary oedema. A transoesophageal echocardiogram performed prior to cardioversion showed a depressed left ventricular function (ejection fraction 30%) and an extracardiac heterogeneous echodensity compressing the right atrium and the superior vena cava.

Paraneoplastic pemphigus as a presentation of acute myeloid leukemia: Early diagnosis and remission.

Skin lesions are frequently encountered in clinical practice which can be a presentation of systemic diseases not excluding an occult malignancy. Commonly reported paraneoplastic dermatologic manifestations include acanthosis nigricans, dermatomyositis, erythroderma, hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, Sweet syndrome, and paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP). PNP is a rare autoimmune mucocutaneous disease characterized by severe stomatitis, polymorphic skin eruptions, and associated underlying neoplasms most commonly non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and Castleman disease.
