A 37-year-old man presented with breathlessness and wheeze of 3 weeks' duration. There was no chest pain, cough, palpitation, pedal edema, or fever. For the past 12 years, he had been experiencing episodic breathlessness and wheeze, which improved with inhaled salbutamol. He also had symptoms of nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, and sneezing. There was no history of smoking, substance abuse, or the use of any over-the-counter medication. The current episode of bronchial asthma exacerbation was managed with bronchodilators and systemic glucocorticoids. Despite symptomatic relief and clinical improvement, his oxygen saturation remained at 75% to 80%, and he was referred to our facility for further evaluation.

Rare dual MYH9-ROS1 fusion variants in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Rationale: ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) fusion is a rare but important driver mutation in non-small cell lung cancer, which usually shows significant sensitivity to small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors. With the widespread application of next-generation sequencing (NGS), more fusions and co-mutations of ROS1 have been discovered. Non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) is a rare fusion partner of ROS1 gene as reported.

We present a case of 37-year-old man with multiple masses in the abdominal and pelvic cavity who underwent 18F-AlF-NOTA-octreotide PET/CT. The masses demonstrated heterogeneously increased uptake on 18F-AlF-NOTA-octreotide PET/CT and were suggestive of neuroendocrine tumor. However, the histopathological examinations confirmed the masses to be peritoneal mesothelioma.

A 37-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of fever of unknown origin and erythema rashes on the trunk and limbs. 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed increased 18F-FDG uptake in subcutaneous panniculitis, forming a snow leopard sign, along with enlarged lymph nodes, which suggested subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma. However, skin biopsy indicated subcutaneous infection, and bone marrow biopsy revealed no abnormal lymphocytes.

Background: Male infertility (MI) is a polygenic condition mainly induced by spermatogenic failure/arrest or systemic disease with a large clinical spectrum. Lately, genetic sequencing allowed the identification of several variants implicated in both aforesaid situations.
Methods And Results: In this case study, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on the genomic DNA of a 37-year-old Moroccan man with Non-Obstructive Azoospermia.

Adrenocortical carcinomas are rare but aggressive tumors that are frequently discovered as incidentalomas. Secretory tumors often lead to endocrine abnormalities, namely cushingoid features, virilization, or feminization. Non-functioning tumors, on the other hand, can be completely dormant with an insidious course or cause malaise, weight loss, abdominal pain, etc.
