AI Article Synopsis

  • * A 48-year-old woman exhibited hemophagocytic syndrome with involvement of her pituitary gland and neurological issues, prompting further investigation.
  • * The diagnosis was confirmed through examination of perisplenic vessels, highlighting the need for comprehensive histopathological analysis when there is a strong suspicion of this type of lymphoma.

Article Abstract

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma is a rare entity characterized by the proliferation of neoplastic lymphocytes in the lumen of small blood vessels and high mortality. Diagnosis of intravascular lymphoma is often delayed or established postmortem. Here, we report the case of a 48-year-old woman presenting hemophagocytic syndrome, with pituitary gland and neurological involvement. Diagnosis of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma was made on perisplenic vessels, while liver and bone marrow biopsy was noncontributive. This case demonstrates the importance of thorough histopathologic investigations in the setting of high suspicion.

Copper sulfate is a frequently used copper compound in laboratory settings, with instances of poisoning being uncommon. A study conducted by the American Association of Poison Control Centers' National Poison Data System found that only 140 individuals were exposed to copper compounds over the course of a year, with five cases being intentional (Gummin et al., 2023).

Antiplatelets before or during endovascular therapy after intravenous thrombolysis for atherothrombotic large vessel occlusion.

J Clin Neurosci

December 2024

Department of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, University of Tsukuba Hospital, Tsukuba, Japan; Department of Neurosurgery, Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan.

Re-occlusion and intravascular thrombus formation following mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in stroke patients worsen clinical outcomes. Although early administration of antiplatelet therapy (APT) prevents these complications, current guidelines advise against using APT soon after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), making the management of atherothrombotic large vessel occlusion (AT-LVO) difficult. We investigated the safety of early APT for acute AT-LVO treated with MT following IVT.

Intravascular accumulation of atypical large lymphoid cells is a rare condition that necessitates a differential diagnosis of intravascular lymphoma (IVL). Recently, a non-neoplastic condition known as benign atypical intravascular CD30+ T-cell proliferation (BAITP) has been identified. This condition is characterized by CD30+ and CD3+ or CD4+ atypical T-cells and is often associated with trauma and chronic inflammation.
