Embolization of a huge tricuspid valve vegetation in a patient with intravenous drug abuse and HIV infection with an remarkable recovery.

We describe a patient with bacterial tricuspid valve endocarditis as a result of using intravenous drugs, and HIV infection. The course was complicated by embolisation of this huge vegetation; the follow-up was remarkable. Although this condition is life threatening, it was accompanied by a relatively slight derangement in the haemodynamic and respiratory condition of the patient.

Clonal identity between skin and synovial tissue in a case of mycosis fungoides with polyarthritis.

Polyarthritis in the presence of a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is a rare phenomenon. We describe a case of mycosis fungoides with development of a symmetric erosive polyarthritis of the small hand joints and feet, diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis. An identical monoclonal T-cell population in the skin and in the synovium was detected by T-cell receptor gene rearrangement analysis, illustrating articular dissemination of lymphoma cells.
