Clinical symptoms, including visceral overload, are progressive and typically begin postnatally. Descriptions of hepatosplenomegaly associated with lysosomal pathology are uncommon during the prenatal period.

Extra-cavitary primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), often associated with human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) infection, represents a rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is predominantly found in individuals with severe immunosuppression. As an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated lymphoma, PEL typically manifests in the context of advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, requiring tailored therapeutic approaches to manage both the lymphoma and underlying immunodeficiency. A 53-year-old male patient from Cape Verde presented with a three-day history of fever, night sweats, right iliac fossa pain, hematochezia, and an unintentional weight loss of five kilograms over the previous two months.

Objectives: Sialidosis type 1 is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the gene, which encodes the sialic acid-degrading enzyme α-neuraminidase. Sialidosis type 1 is a milder form with a late-onset phenotype, characterized by progressive myoclonic epilepsy and ataxia with cherry-red spots. Sialidosis type 2 is an early-onset and more severe form presenting with dysmorphic features, hepatosplenomegaly and cognitive delay.

Systemic hydroa vacciniforme lymphoproliferative disorder in a patient with chronic active EBV infection.

BMJ Case Rep

December 2024

Dermatology, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Hydroa vacciniforme lymphoproliferative disorders (HVLPD) fall within the clinical spectrum of chronic active epstein barr virus (EBV) disease (CAEBVD), ranging from localised and/or indolent forms (classic HVLPD) to systemic disease with fever, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy (systemic HVLPD). A preadolescent male with 47XYY, multicystic dysplastic kidney, autism spectrum disorder and Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) presented with photodistributed non-pruritic, non-painful necrotic papulovesicles accompanied by non-febrile intermittent fatigue and lymphadenopathy. The patient had a history of EBV pneumonia in infancy confirmed by CT scan and was later diagnosed with CAEBV.
