Article Synopsis
- Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a type of skin cancer that shows up as patches and lumps on the skin, starting with red, patchy areas.
- The disease is tricky to diagnose because it can look like other skin problems, and it has different forms that act differently.
- To properly figure out if someone has MF, doctors need to take samples from different skin spots and check both the skin and the medical history together.

Peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer (PM-GC) have a detrimental prognostic impact on survival and there is a lack of consensus regarding treatment. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) may offer a chance for prolonged survival as compared to standard chemotherapy. This study aims to present our experience in the management of GC with CRS and HIPEC.

Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a severe interstitial lung disorder characterized by a pattern of Usual Interstitial Pneumonia where the presence of fibroblastic foci is the hallmark of the disease.
Aim Of The Study: In the present study, we analyzed the migration inhibitory factor (MIF) expression in lung tissue of IPF patients compared with healthy controls and organizing pneumonia (OP) patients focusing into MIF potential role in fibroblastic foci development.
Materials And Methods: The immunohistochemical analysis was performed in 10 IPF patients (7 male), 3 OP patients (2 male), and 3 healthy controls (all male) using the streptavidin-biotin method (Dako).
A large kindred of pulmonary fibrosis associated with a novel ABCA3 gene variant.

Pneumology Unit, IRCCS San Matteo Foundation Hospital, Piazza Golgi 1, Pavia 27100, Italy.
Background: Interstitial lung disease occurring in children is a condition characterized by high frequency of cases due to genetic aberrations of pulmonary surfactant homeostasis, that are also believed to be responsible of a fraction of familial pulmonary fibrosis. To our knowledge, ABCA3 gene was not previously reported as causative agent of fibrosis affecting both children and adults in the same kindred.
Methods: We investigated a large kindred in which two members, a girl whose interstitial lung disease was first recognized at age of 13, and an adult, showed a diffuse pulmonary fibrosis with marked differences in terms of morphology and imaging.
