Primary unilateral conjunctival small lymphocytic lymphoma in a child: Case report and literature review.

Ocular adnexal lymphomas (OALs) are extranodal lymphomas primarily involving the ocular adnexa, which includes the conjunctiva. OALs are considered primary if the involvement of lymphoma is confined to the ocular adnexa alone and secondary if there is lymphoma of the identical type present at another site. Conjunctival lymphomas are uncommon in children, with very few reported cases in published literature, none of which were small lymphocytic lymphomas (SLLs).

Symptomatic Brain Radiation Necrosis in an Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patient After Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy While on Alectinib.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a higher incidence of brain metastasis. Despite having a favorable prognosis and relatively long survival with second-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), patients can have substantial morbidity, negatively affecting functional progression-free and symptom-free survival. Studies have shown that ALK-rearranged NSCLC is a risk factor for developing radiation necrosis (RN).

associated cerebral phaeohyphomycosis in a post-COVID-19 patient: A first case report.

Phaeohyphomycosis, previously known as chromoblastomycosis, is a chronic mycosis, usually affecting the skin. It is caused by dematiaceous fungi, which are a group of fungi that produce melanin in their cell walls. Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis occurs as a part of invasive presentation of the fungi, which usually affects immunocompromised patients, but may affect immunocompetent individuals as well.

A Cerebellar High-Grade Neuroepithelial Tumour with BCOR Alteration in a five-year-old Child: A case report.

New groups of high-grade neuroepithelial tumours (HGNET) have emerged from the reclassification of central nervous system (CNS) embryonal tumours that have recognised CNS HGNET with alteration (CNS HGNET-). We report a two-year, nine-month-old Omani boy who presented to the Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2015 with subacute head tilting and neck pain. A well-defined cerebellar lesion was found and he was treated with standard chemoradiotherapy.

Brain damage in a large cohort of solvent abusers.

The neuropathology of solvent inhalation consists of patchy myelin loss with white matter macrophages that contain granular inclusions. It has been described only in a small number of cases. We sought to characterize the abnormalities in greater detail.
