A rare case of peliosis hepatis in primary immune deficiency.

Peliosis hepatis is a rare condition characterized by blackish-blue blood-filled cavities in hepatic parenchyma caused by dilatation of hepatic sinusoids. Peliosis hepatis has been described in secondary immunodeficiencies and certain medications. We present the first case of peliosis hepatis in a patient with a primary immunodeficiency, common variable immunodeficiency.

Primary Epithelioid Angiosarcoma of the Uterus: A Rare Tumor with Very Aggressive Behavior.

Angiosarcoma is a high-grade vascular tumor arising from endothelial cells of blood vessels. It represents less than 1% of the mesenchymal tumors. Uterine angiosarcoma is an extremely rare tumor with less than 25 cases reported in the literature.

Radiation-Induced Sarcoma After Heterotopic Ossification Prophylaxis: A Case Report.

Case: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a pathological formation of bone in nonosseous tissue and is a common complication of orthopaedic procedures. Radiotherapy is often used to prevent HO despite the small risk of secondary malignancy. Here, we report a case of a patient who developed a periprosthetic, radiation-induced sarcoma after delivery of a single fraction of 7 Gy for HO prophylaxis.

Lipoprotein Glomerulopathy in a Hispanic Female: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Rationale: Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is a rare renal disorder that features glomerular capillary lipoprotein thrombi, proteinuria, and progressive renal failure. Although most reported cases describe involvement in Asian patients, occurrence in Caucasian and other ethnicities has also been reported.

Presenting Concern: A 28-year-old Hispanic female with a past medical history of hypertension, high cholesterol, gastritis, and a strong family history of renal disease presented with abdominal pain.

A Case of Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma With Osseous Metaplasia and Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma Metastasis.

Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma is an uncommon and aggressive renal tumor with rapid disease progression. A median survival time is only 4-9 months after diagnosis. Osteogenic differentiation is a rare feature of the tumor.

A Case of Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type II With Additional Balanced Translocation t(1;20)(p13;p11.2).

Background: Osteogenesis imperfect (OI) type II is a genetic disorder of bone characterized by bone fragility, multiple fractures, severe bowing and shortening of long bones, and perinatal death due to respiratory insufficiency. It is mainly caused by mutations in the COL1A1 or COL1A2 genes, inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.

Case Report: A fetal form of this disorder that included brachydactyly, macrocephaly, frontal bossing, soft calvarium, saddle nose, micrognathia, low set ears, and narrow thoracic cavity is described.

Granulomas within renal epithelial neoplasms in patients with sarcoidosis: A causal association?

Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease that can involve virtually every organ system, but most commonly presents as lung, skin, or lymph node disease. Although kidney involvement is usually clinically silent, granulomatous interstitial nephritis - the hallmark of renal sarcoidosis - can lead to functional impairment and organ failure. Also, recent studies have suggested an association between sarcoidosis and an increased risk of developing kidney tumors.
