Changes in skin bacterial flora during the healing process of ulcer caused by self-destruction of lymph nodes due to tuberculous lymphadenitis.

An 86-year-old woman with residual left hemiplegia from a prior stroke, residing in a nursing facility, presented with swelling of the right side of her neck. Tuberculous lymphadenitis was diagnosed through polymerase chain reaction analysis and sputum culture, leading to treatment with isoniazid, rifampicin, and ethambutol. After 2 months, an abscess and ulcer formed; analysis of the bacterial flora of the ulcer revealed a Pseudomonas infection.

A Rare Case of Pleural Epithelioid Mesothelioma With a Prominent Myxoid Stroma Reported With Morphology, Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization, and Ultrastructural Findings.

Herein, we report a rare case of pleural epithelioid malignant mesothelioma with a prominent myxoid stroma. To date, detailed morphological or molecular pathological findings have not been reported for this type of tumor. Hence, we aimed to describe the cytological, histological, immuno-cytohistological, electron-microscopic, and molecular pathological findings using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in such a case.
