Bilateral lacrimal gland lymphoma: Case report and literature review.

Ocular adnexal lymphoma accounts for approximately 1%-2% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas and 8% of extranodal lymphomas. Lacrimal gland lymphoma, especially bilateral lacrimal gland lymphoma, is rare, and imaging is often utilized to differentiate lacrimal lymphoma from other types of masses that involve the lacrimal gland and the fossa. We describe a 74-year-old male patient presenting with bilateral eye proptosis, lachrymose without pain, and no changes in eyesight.

McCune-Albright syndrome onset with vaginal bleeding.

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), a rare genetic disorder, affects multiple organs and classically presents with the triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD), skin hyperpigmentation (café-au-lait spots) and precocious puberty. Diagnosis occurs when patients manifest at least two of these three symptoms. We describe a 4-year-old girl who was admitted to our hospital due to recurrent vaginal bleeding, initially diagnosed as precocious puberty.

Hypovascular pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with hepatic metastases: A case report and literature review.

Hypovascular pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are uncommon pancreatic tumors and commonly misdiagnosed as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma or chronic mass-forming pancreatitis. The liver is the organ most commonly affected by neuroendocrine tumor metastases but hepatic neuroendocrine tumor metastases are quite difficult to discriminate from other hepatic metastases and primary hepatic tumors. We describe a case of a 47-year-old man with incidentally detected multiple hepatic lesions on ultrasound.

Outcomes of Bone Marrow-Derived Mononuclear Cell Transplantation for Patients in Persistent Vegetative State After Drowning: Report of Five Cases.

Anoxic brain injury (ABI) due to non-fatal drowning may cause persistent vegetative state (VS) that is currently incurable. The aim of this paper is to present the safety and feasibility of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell (BMMNC) transplantation in five drowning children surviving in persistent VS. We used BMMNC as a novel candidate therapeutic tool in a pilot phase-I study for five patients affected by neurological sequelae after near-death drowning.

Unicentric Castleman's disease in the female pelvis.

Castleman's disease (CD) or angiofollicular lymphoid hyperplasia is a rare disorder with unknown aetiology that can easily be misdiagnosed as lymphoma, neoplasm, or infection. Diagnosis is challenging due to its non-specific symptoms and radiologic signs as well as its rarity. We report a case of a middle-aged woman with a mass adjacent to the uterus that was accidentally detected by ultrasound; it was believed to be of ovarian origin.

Diagnostic Function of 3-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Assessment of Brachial Plexus Injury.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic function of 3-Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the assessment of brachial plexus injury (BPI), in comparison with intraoperative findings.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 60 patients (47 men and 13 women), who had clinical manifestations of BPI, underwent 3T MRI of the brachial plexus, and were surgically treated at the Viet Duc and Vinmec Times City hospitals, in Hanoi, Vietnam, from March 2016 to December 2019. Preganglionic and postganglionic lesion features were identified on MRI.

Outcomes of Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cell Transplantation for Neurological Sequelae Due to Intracranial Hemorrhage Incidence in the Neonatal Period: Report of Four Cases.

The aim of this study was to present primary outcomes of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMNC) transplantation to improve neurological sequelae in four children with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) incidence during the neonatal period. GMFM88 and modified Ashworth score were used to assess motor function and muscle spasticity before BMMNC transplantation and after transplantation. Brain MRI was performed to evaluate brain morphology before and after BMMNC transplantation.

Novel compound heterozygous TMEM67 variants in a Vietnamese family with Joubert syndrome: a case report.

Background: Joubert syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive ciliopathy characterized by the combination of hypoplasia/aplasia of the cerebellar vermis, thickened and elongated superior cerebellar peduncles and a deep interpeduncular fossa, known as "molar tooth sign" associated with hypotonia, respiratory control disturbances and abnormal eye movements. To date, pathogenic variants in over 35 genes are known to cause autosomal recessive Joubert Syndrome, while one gene is associated with X-linked recessive inheritance.

Case Presentation: We describe here a non-consanguineous Vietnamese family with Joubert syndrome, a fetus and 10-year-old developmentally delayed boy.
