RESUMEN

T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a rare form of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The standard approach for management of T-LBL involves intensive multiagent chemotherapy regimens for induction and consolidation phases with central nervous system prophylaxis and a maintenance phase lasting 12-18 months. We report on a case of long-term survival after one cycle of hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (hyper-CVAD) and high-dose methotrexate. A 30-year-old woman diagnosed with T-LBL with a large mediastinal mass underwent one cycle of hyper-CVAD. Four days after the start of treatment, the mediastinal mass was markedly reduced. Treatment continued with one cycle of consolidation chemotherapy, comprising high-dose methotrexate and high-dose cytarabine. The patient then refused all further chemotherapeutic treatment. Seven years have passed without relapse.

RESUMEN

A 77-year-old female patient underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) with concomitant septal myectomy and tricuspid annuloplasty. Her symptoms did not improve after a successful operation. Echocardiogram demonstrated the presence of an iatrogenic ventricular septal defect (VSD). It was muscular in location and not the usual AVR with membraneous type of VSD, suggesting a complication from the myectomy. Percutaneous closure of the VSD remained the only feasible option due to her poor overall medical status. A 14-mm Amplazter VSD occluder was deployed successfully, by means of the trans-septal technique. She has improved very well postoperatively.

RESUMEN

Mycotic aneurysms are uncommon, but are fatal without appropriate management. Previous reports have shown that anaerobes and gram-negative organisms are less common but more dangerous than other causative agents of mycotic aneurysm. We report the case of a 60-year-old man with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis in the aorta, and a 10-day of history of lower abdominal pain and fever. This man was diagnosed with an uncommon abdominal aorta mycotic aneurysm caused by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Acinetobacter lwoffii. The aneurysm was successfully treated with antibiotics therapy and aorto-bi-external iliac artery bypass with debridement of the infected aortic wall. We present this case together with a review of the relevant literature.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Endoscopic resection(ER) is effective therapy on EGC and which is treated according to the histological diagnosis of forcep biopsy. But sometimes the histological diagnosis of forcep biopsy and post-ER does not match with each other and it might lead to wrong treatment. The aim of this study is to find the frequency of histologic differences between forcep biopsy and post-ER, and to confirm the characteristics of lesions which make errors. METHODS: We selected the confirmed cancer cases of 141 patients of 1359 gastric tumor lesions which were treated under the ER in Eulji university hospital from May 2005 to March 2013. They were sorted by the age and sex of patient, location of lesion, present of ulcer and depression to identify the discordance between forcep biopsy and ER. The discordant group was compared with non-cancer-diagnosed controlled group, retrospectively. RESULTS: 70 cases(5.5%) of 1283 cases of "cancer negative" in forceps biopsy were found to be diagnosed cancer on final diagnosis of cancer by post-ER result. In this discordant group showed characteristics of bigger size that are with more frequently in tumor size >==15mm(17.9% vs. 31.4%, p=0.03), have depressed lesion(14.3% vs. 41.4%, p==15mm, presented with depressed lesion and ulceration, we should consider combined cancer, even the result of forcep biopsy was negative. Therefore, more careful and accurate resection should be taken with characters listed above.

RESUMEN

Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are at higher risks of bacterial pneumonia than the general population, and the pathogen is the most commonly involved Streptococcus pneumoniae. We hereby report a case of pneumococcal pneumonia associated with leptomeningitis, osteomyelitis and epidural abscess in a patient with AIDS. He is being successfully treated with ampicillin/sulbactam and clindamycin. And because the pneumococcal infection is usually associated with morbidity and mortality rates in the setting of AIDS, we should consider for pneumococcal vaccinations among the AIDS populations.

RESUMEN

A 70-year-old woman who developed a moon face was hospitalized. At admission, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and serum cortisol levels were elevated. A high-dose dexamethasone suppression test demonstrated that cortisol secretion was uninhibited. Furthermore, chest computed tomography revealed an anterior mediastinal mass. On the basis of these results, ectopic ACTH syndrome was diagnosed and complete resection of the thymic tumor was performed. Histological examination revealed large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the thymus and positive immunoreactivity for ACTH. However, despite complete excision of the thymic tumor, ACTH and serum cortisol levels were high. Therefore, we investigated whether the lesion had recurred or metastasized; however, the results were inconclusive. Finally, laparoscopic bilateral adrenalectomy was performed to control the hypercortisolemia. After the surgery, the serum cortisol level was well-controlled and the general condition of the patient was good.
