AI Article Synopsis
- - A 23-year-old man experienced a painful red right eye for a month, leading to very poor vision and symptoms indicative of uveitis, including keratic precipitates and vitritis.
- - The following week, he developed new left-side symptoms such as reduced vision, painless eyelid swelling, and a conjunctival lesion, along with neurological signs affecting sensation.
- - Blood tests revealed pancytopenia, and a bone marrow biopsy confirmed he had aggressive natural killer (NK) cell leukemia, which is a rare cause of eye inflammation needing a team approach for treatment.
Article Abstract
A 23-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of a red and painful right eye, with visual acuity reduced to hand motions. Examination showed uveitis with keratic precipitates, cells and flare in the anterior chamber, and vitritis that obscured visualization of the right fundus. The following week, he was noted to have the following left-sided findings: reduced visual acuity (6/18), painless upper eyelid edema, an elevated, pink bulbar conjunctival lesion, limitation of ocular abduction, paresthesia in the V1 and reduced sensation in the V2 distributions. Blood tests showed pancytopenia. Results from the aspirate and trephine biopsy of his bone marrow were consistent with aggressive natural killer (NK) cell leukemia, a rare cause of ocular and periocular inflammation that requires a multidisciplinary team approach to care.

Purposes: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and plasma cell-type idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (PC-iMCD) have many overlapping features. Their differential diagnosis is challenging and crucial for clinical management due to their different prognoses and treatments. However, reports that compare these conditions are scarce, especially for patients with lung involvement.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is characterized by its aggressive nature and resistance to treatment. FAM107A is a tumor suppressor gene that has been found to possess inhibitory effects in several cancers, but its role in LUAD remains unclear. This study investigated the role of FAM107A in regulating LUAD cell growth, invasion and aerobic glycolysis and also investigated the potential underlying mechanisms.

This case presents a rare and aggressive manifestation of malignant melanoma, initially presenting as a chest wall swelling in a young male with a history of trauma and subsequent management for hemothorax and pyothorax. The complexity of this case lies in its atypical presentation and the challenges posed in diagnosis and treatment. A 30-year-old gentleman presented to the general surgery clinic with a chief complaint of swelling on the right side of his chest, persisting for two months following a traumatic fall, which later resulted in hemothorax and prothorax required drainage and eventually ended up developing a swelling requiring further investigations.
