Article Synopsis
- Focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) often recurs after kidney transplants, leading to graft loss in about 50% of patients, with few effective treatment options currently available.
- A case study of a 24-year-old woman highlights her struggle with FSGS recurrence post-transplant, where multiple treatments were attempted, but only cyclophosphamide ultimately led to successful remission.
- This case emphasizes the need for further research into cyclophosphamide as a treatment option for FSGS recurrence in kidney transplant patients, especially after conventional therapies fail.
Article Synopsis
- Desmoid tumors are rare mesenchymal tumors in the mesentery that are often misdiagnosed, particularly in patients with a history of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) resection.
- This article presents a unique case of a Desmoid tumor in a patient with prior GIST, marking the first reported instance of such a development in Saudi Arabia.
- The discussion includes a comparison of Desmoid tumors and GIST, covering aspects like definitions, symptoms, histology, immunohistochemistry, and their relationship, while also contrasting this case with existing literature.
