Hidden tuberculosis revealed by bone marrow biopsy as cause of fever of unknown origin.

Fever of unknown origin is a frequent clinical problem, especially in the elderly, giving cause to hospital admission and multiple investigations. Starting with a case report of an 84-year-old male patient with fever of unknown origin with presence of bone marrow granuloma attributed to infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, incidence, risk factors, clinical and biochemical findings of extrapulmonary tuberculosis will be highlighted. This underlines the need of elaborate investigation including bone marrow biopsy when confronted with fever of unknown origin.

Eosinophilic fungal rhinosinusitis (EFRS): a distinct CT/MRI-entity? A European experience.

Monosomy 22 and trisomy 14 may be early events in the tumorigenesis of adult granulosa cell tumor.

The finding of monosomy 22 and trisomy 14 in a case of adult type of granulosa-thecoma cell tumor and the available information from the literature allow for the hypothesis that, especially monosomy 22, but also trisomy 14, may be early events in the tumorigenesis of adult sex cord-stromal tumors in general, and of granulosa-thecoma cell tumors in particular.
