Atypical Cutaneous Presentation and Diagnostic Challenges in Advanced Metastatic Testicular Cancer.

A 29-year-old male presented with acute left-sided weakness in both the upper extremity (UE) and lower extremity (LE), an atypical symptom for testicular cancer but not uncommon for brain metastasis. Testicular cancer usually manifests as a testicular mass or discomfort. His medical history included a previously resected testicular mass, with pathology results unknown due to the patient being lost to follow-up.

Composite Burkitt Lymphoma and Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma in an Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-Positive Patient.

Lymphoma, a term encompassing tumor masses in the lymph nodes, is often classified into Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, each with distinct subtypes. We present the unique case of an HIV-positive patient diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma and classical Hodgkin lymphoma simultaneously as a composite lymphoma. Over the course of five years, a variety of dose-adjusted chemotherapy regimens were used that ultimately proved highly effective.

Unraveling Complexity: A Case of Possible Overlapping Between Mixed Connective Tissue Disease and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus With Renal Involvement.

Autoimmune diseases, a term encompassing conditions where the immune system targets its own cells, consist of various pathologies, two of which are systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and mixed connective tissue disorder (MCTD). We present the unique case of an anti-ribonucleoprotein (RNP)-positive patient exhibiting renal pathology consistent with lupus nephritis and an additional collapsing variant of focal segmental glomerulonephropathy, who initially presented to the emergency department with signs and symptoms of pneumonia and portal vein thrombosis that were subsequently treated. Conflicting accounts of her autoimmune history led to an extensive workup during her stay, which yielded a tentative diagnosis of SLE vs.

Cavernous Sinus Syndrome in a Polio-Afflicted Patient With Multiple Aneurysms.

Cavernous sinus syndrome (CSS) is a complex, multifactorial condition that presents with a myriad of signs and symptoms including ptosis, double vision, and headache. We present the case of a 65-year-old woman with a chief concern of left-eye pain, including polio syndrome and hip replacement surgery. Unlike typical CSS cases often linked to tumors, this patient's condition involved a carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF), multiple internal carotid artery aneurysms, and a pericallosal aneurysm, without any associated tumor.
