[Unusual gluteal localization of unicentric Castleman's disease: A case report and review of the literature].

Background: Castleman's disease is a rare and benign lymphoproliferative disorder which can be unicentric (UCD) or multicentric (MCD). UCD usually involves a single lymph node or less frequently a group of lymph nodes. The most common sites of nodal UCD presentation are the mediastinum, neck, abdomen and retroperitoneum.

Causes of Death in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Patients.

Background: The advancing evolution toward a Th2 immune environment confers a progressive immunosuppression in patients with longstanding cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The conjunction of the disease-related immunosuppression as well as the immunosuppressive character of some CTCL treatments increase the risk of infectious and neoplastic diseases, sometimes with fatal outcomes.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to prospectively study the causes of death in a cohort of CTCL patients, in a tertiary university skin cancer center.

Constrictive pericarditis following cardiac transplantation: a report of two cases and a literature review.

The data on constrictive pericarditis following heart transplantation are scarce. Herein, the authors present 2 patients who developed a constrictive pericarditis 19, and 55 months after heart transplantation. They underwent several diagnostic procedures and successfully recovered after a radical pericardiectomy.

In-Depth Assessment of Endoscopic Remission in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treated by Anti-TNF or Vedolizumab.

Background And Aims: Confocal endomicroscopy is a technique allowing the in vivo assessment of the superficial layers of the mucosa. Preliminary studies have already suggested its added value in the assessment of endoscopic remission in inflammatory bowel disease. However, most of these studies were performed on patients still having incomplete mucosal healing.
