Invasive pneumonia, in association with esophagitis and gastritis, in a presumably immunocompetent patient.

pneumonia remains a difficult diagnosis and is most common in immunocompromised individuals. It has been rarely reported in immunocompetent individuals. We present a case of unsuspected pneumonia associated with esophagitis and gastritis discovered on postmortem examination in a presumably immunocompetent patient.

Concurrent Splenic Marginal Zone B Cell Lymphoma and Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Diagnosed on Splenectomy for Suspected Splenic Abscess.

Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is an uncommon low-grade B-cell lymphoma. It is an indolent lymphoma with a median survival rate of greater than 10 years. Most patients are asymptomatic, but some patients may present with upper abdominal pain and distention, while others may present with splenomegaly, emaciation, fatigue, or weight loss.

Cotyledonoid Dissecting Leiomyoma: A Rare Variant of Leiomyoma of the Uterus.

Cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma is a rare variant of leiomyoma and has only been reported a few times in the literature. As a result of its alarming gross and radiologic appearance, it must be differentiated from other malignant smooth muscle tumors. We report a case of cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma in an African American premenopausal woman with a medical history of anemia, abnormal uterine bleeding, and a cervical mass.
