Pulmonary Lymphangitic Carcinomatosis due to Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Lung: A Case Report

Somaya AM Albhaisi and Neama Luqman

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 31, 2016

Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (PLC) is part of the spectrum of metastatic disease. Most cases result from dissemination of adenocarcinomas. Micro hematogenous spread to the periphery of the lung, with subsequent retrograde, centripetal lymphatic extension toward the hilar region, is the responsible mechanism in approximately 75% of patients. The remaining cases are due to retrograde extension from a hilar tumor or from an ipsilateral lung or breast carcinoma. In the latter settings, the ...

Batsev AF, Dobrokhotova VZ and Cham BE

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 28, 2016

Solasodine rhamnosides, solamargine and solasonine, are antineoplastics with high affinity, high efficacy and low toxicity as shown in cell culture, animal and human studies. The mode of action is by apoptosis and is accompanied by a high order of specificity. This specificity towards cancer cells is ideal for treating skin cancers. Previous studies show that solasodine rhamnosides in a topical cream formulation CuradermBEC5 is a highly regarded therapy for nonmelanoma skin cancers....

The involvement of the reticuloendothelial system in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) concomitant to the disease activity is highly variable, and well-recognised but spontaneous splenic rupture is an unusual occurrence. We report a 35-year-old woman with SLE who had spontaneous splenic rupture during the course of her illness. The spleen rupture was evident on histophatological analysis. A brief review of spontaneous splenic rupture in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is also presented....

We report a challenging case of orbital socket reconstruction. A 49- year-old man presented two weeks after fireworks exploded in his face. He had multiple orbital bone fractures on the right and the globe was enucleated because of severe damage. No primary orbital implant was used due to infection risk. One month after the trauma he suffered from infection of the conjunctival sac and periorbital skin despite initial intravenous and oral antibiotics. Because of inability to wear a cover shell ey...

Atypical Presentation of Madelung Disease

Maisel Lotan Adi, Retchkiman Meir and Gronovich Yoav

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 09, 2016

We present a unique case of a sixty two year old woman with symmetric lipomatosis of the lower back, similar to cup C female breast. Lipoma is the most common type of soft tissue mesenchymal tumor. Lipoma is commonly found in the upper back, neck, shoulder and abdomen, and rarely in the face, hands or feet. When lipomatosis is symmetrical it is often termed Multiple Symmetrical Lipomatosis (MSL), also known as Madelung disease, a rare syndrome of unknown etiology....
