Naphazoline intoxication with transient QT prolongation and acute myocardial injury.

Unlabelled: A 27-year-old Japanese woman with a history of depression and an eating disorder presented to our emergency department with a chief complaint of generalized weakness. Electrocardiography showed prominent QT prolongation with multiple ventricular contractions. Chest X-ray plain computed tomography revealed pulmonary edema.

Hairy Cell Leukemia-Japanese Variant: Report of a Patient and Literature Review.

Hairy cell leukemia-Japanese variant (HCL-jv) shares some features with, but differs in other features from, HCL variant. Recently, it has been pointed out that HCL-jv and splenic diffuse red pulp small B-cell lymphoma (SDRPL) possibly constitute the same disease. We report a patient with HCL-jv, in which the neoplastic cells in the resected spleen were positive for CD11c, CD103, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (by immunohistochemistry), and weakly positive for cyclin D3.

Pure ground glass opacity (GGO) on chest CT: a rare presentation of lung metastasis of Malignant Phyllodes Tumor.

Lung is the most common target organ for distant metastasis of phyllodes tumor (PT), where the metastatic tumors are mostly seen as nodules or masses. We report here a rare case in which pure ground-glass opacity (GGO) was observed on chest CT about 3 years after the initial treatment of breast PT. After the lung lobectomy, we histologically confirmed that it should be diagnosed as a metastasis of PT.

[Clinical significance of chronologic immature platelet fraction analysis in TAFRO syndrome].

TAFRO syndrome is characterized by thrombocytopenia with unknown etiology. The assessment of immature platelet fraction (IPF) is useful for differential diagnoses that include thrombocytopenia. However, the significance of IPF in cases of TAFRO syndrome remains to be reported.
