We would like to present a 49-year-old female patient who was presented with a vulva lesion and palpable inguinal lymph nodes who were diagnosed with disseminated multiorgan involvement of high grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computerized tomography imaging showed multiple cervical, axillary, and abdominal lymph nodes, pulmonary nodules as well as gross hypermetabolic vulvar lesion.

Case report: Unveiling the silent threat in the ICU - a case of disseminated invasive aspergillosis in a patient with fulminant myocarditis.

Front Immunol

December 2024

Fourth Department of Critical Care Medicine, Shengli Clinical Medical College of Fujian Medical University, Fujian Provincial Hospital, Fuzhou University Affiliated Provincial Hospital, Fuzhou, Fujian, China.

Invasive aspergillosis (IA) significantly increases mortality in critically ill patients in the ICU and its occurrence is closely related to immunocompromise. Dissemination of IA is easily misdiagnosed and mistreated due to its ability to invade multiple systems throughout the body and lack of typical clinical manifestations. In this case, a 25-year-old previously healthy woman was hospitalized with fulminant myocarditis and treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support and intravenous acyclovir, high-dose methylprednisolone, and immunoglobulin.

Article Synopsis
  • - Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare B-cell lymphoma that can affect various organs, and patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) have significantly higher risks of developing it.
  • - A case study is presented of primary thymic MALT lymphoma found incidentally during routine chest imaging, alongside cystic lung disease, primarily observed in women with SjS.
  • - Imaging techniques revealed a large mass in the mediastinum and numerous pulmonary cysts; the diagnosis was confirmed via biopsy, and treatment improved lung function, emphasizing the link between SjS and MALT lymphoma's lung manifestations.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hepatic pseudolesions are common findings on contrast-enhanced imaging due to the liver's unique blood flow patterns and can also appear on liver scans due to unusual collateral circulation.
  • - A case is presented involving a patient with lung cancer who showed increased metabolic activity in specific liver areas on FDG PET/CT, which matched areas of increased density on a CT scan of the chest.
  • - This abnormal hypermetabolic activity disappeared on a follow-up FDG PET/CT scan taken two days later after changes were made to how the tracer was administered.
