The case reported herein consists of nodular pulmonary amyloidosis presenting with unusual cystic radiological features which reveal a pulmonary localisation of an extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma). The present case is the first to report a radiological presentation of nodular pulmonary amyloidosis in the absence of Sjögren's syndrome....

We hereby report a case presenting a rare form of secondary syphilis with an unusual nodular eruption accompanied by pruritus and generalized lymphadenopathy, bearing a striking resemblance to lymphoma. The histologic picture was also misleading and was compatible with lymphocytoma cutis. The diagnosis was eventually made after results of serologic tests for syphilis were found to be positive, ...

Thyroid diseases in children and adolescents are not common. The present paper describes 73 patients, aged 5 to 18 years, who had thyroid disease which was treated by surgery. Of these, 18 had diffuse simple goiter, 11 had diffuse toxic goiter and 44 had nodular goiter. Of those patients with nodular goiter, 34 had adenomatous goiter, one had lymphocytic thyroiditis, one had lymphosarcoma and e...

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is applied very uncommonly to soft tissue masses and even more infrequently to lesions of the hand. Nodular fasciitis, an uncommon pseudosarcomatous lesion of soft tissue, rarely occurs in the hand and, because of this, is not often considered in the differential diagnosis of hand masses. We report 3 cases (2 men and 1 woman; mean age, 44.3 years) of soft ti...

Seventeen infants with nodular purpura are reported. All these infants suffered from a coagulation abnormality due to vitamin K deficiency. Contributing factors were breast-feeding, the use of milk substitutes, diarrhoea and antimicrobial therapy. The patients responded rapidly and completely to parenteral vitamin K. In the management of infantile diarrhoea use of antibiotics should be restrict...

Introduction: Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) is a known etiology of noncirrhotic portal hypertension. Cases of biopsy-proven NRH in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive patients have been described. While these patients often have normal synthetic liver function, several reports described disease progression to liver failure. Case: We here present a 26-year-old woman with history...

The diagnosis of Nodular Fasciitis is a very challenging on cytological aspirations. Even in histopathological sections, it can be sometimes be mistaken for soft tissue sarcomas due to its high cellularity, presence of mitotic figures, poor circumscription and degenerative myxoid areas. Most commonly, nodular fasciitis is seen on extremities; and sub-cutaneous form is most common. We are hereby...

Over the period 1972-1985, 2729 cases of Hodgkin's disease were diagnosed in Los Angeles County, and 2492 were subclassified using the Rye classification. The occurrence of these cases was examined in relation to age, sex, race, place of birth, social class, occupation, and year of diagnosis. The pattern of nodular sclerosis occurrence conformed to expectations, supporting the polio model of et...

Nodular vasculitis was introduced by Montgomery for cases of erythema induratum-like lesions that were not associated with tuberculosis. Nodular vasculitis has been associated with both nontuberculous infections and noninfectious conditions. However, there has been no report on the development of nodular vasculitis during tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitor treatment. A 28-year-old man visited ou...
