splenic infarction occurs due to occlusion of splenic vessels that leads to splenic tissue ischemia and necrosis. there are several reports regarding splenic infarction in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (aml). herein, we report a case of acute promyelocytic anemia (aml-m3) who presented with abdominal pain and splenic infarction.

This paper outlines the clinical doctoral research plan (funded by HEE/NIHR Integrated Clinical Academic Programme) to engage the wide range of people who use alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) to understand the perspectives of users in order to develop a Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) to evaluate equipment and services.

We present a case of a pleural space malignancy masked by an atypical presentation of mantle cell lymphoma. Our patient presented with a large pleural effusion and right sided pleural studding, initially attributed to a new diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma. Rare atypical epithelial cells were also seen amongst the clonal population of lymphocytes. The patient lacked systemic manifestations of ...

Collision tumors in the paranasal region are extremely rare with limited literature data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of associations of squamous cell carcinoma-esthesioneuroblastoma and lymphoma-hemangiopericytoma in the paranasal region. Preoperatively, radiological and clinical findings should be evaluated carefully for the diagnosis and two or more biopsy specimen...

Although myelodysplastic syndromes have a clear definition in theory, the morphologic dysplasia associated with ineffective hematopoiesis may be subtle and difficult to recognize and can commonly be mimicked by systemic conditions, such as infections, autoimmune disorders, nutritional deficiencies, toxic factors and non-hematological malignancies. However, myelodysplastic syndromes may truly co...

Synchronous malignancies in a pleural effusion are rare. A case of concurrent pleural infiltration by adenocarcinoma of unknown primary site and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is presented in this case study, which was diagnosed by effusion cytology. Pleural effusion is not an uncommon complication in patients with B-CLL. Even in a pleural effusion rich in monoclonal lymphocytes, the presen...
