Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Induced Isolated Pericardial Effusion
Long-term therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) has resulted in improved outcomes for patients suffering from Bcr-Abl fusion protein-harboring leukemias. As a result, a growing population of patients on TKI therapy present to their primary care providers. In this case, we report on the case of a 62-year-old male who presented with a symptomatic pericardial effusion. After pericardiocent...
متن کاملTyrosine kinase inhibitor-induced macrocytosis.
BACKGROUND The tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) sunitinib and imatinib were shown to induce macrocytosis in patients with renal cell cancer (RCC) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), presumably through inhibition of the c-KIT dependent signaling pathway of erythroid progenitor cells of the bone marrow. PATIENTS AND METHODS Hematology charts of patients with RCC, breast cancer (BC), GIS...

متن کاملAsbestos induced pericardial effusion and constrictive pericarditis.
The number of disorders attributable to asbestos exposure has increased gradually over the years. The latest to be recorded is pericardial effusion and constrictive pericarditis, and three cases are reported here. A man with bilateral pleural thickening and plaques developed acute pericarditis and an effusion and was treated by pericardiectomy. Two men died from constrictive pericarditis associ...
متن کاملANA-Negative Hydralazine-Induced Pericardial Effusion
This case describes a patient with pericardial effusion as a phenomenon of the drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DILE) syndrome due to hydralazine. The relevance of this case report lies in the fact that although hydralazine has been a known causative agent of DILE, its presentation may involve a negative anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) study. Pericardial effusion is a documented adverse effect as ...
