Rare Case of Primary Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Lung With Bilateral Kidney and Liver Metastasis.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare epithelial tumor that is found in the salivary glands. It is typically slow-growing and follows an indolent course. While it can hematogenously spread to the lungs, distant metastases are rarely reported.

Infective Endocarditis in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy After Etonogestrel Implant Removal.

The modified Duke criterion "predisposing heart condition" is poorly defined, and is based on outdated studies of the epidemiology of infective endocarditis (IE). Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is not classified as a modified Duke criterion for the diagnosis of IE but is associated with a higher incidence of IE nonetheless. The presence of a cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) is independently associated with an increased risk of IE.
