Bartonellae are bacterial pathogens for a wide variety of mammals. In humans, bartonellosis can result in angioproliferative lesions that are potentially life threatening to the patient, including bacillary angiomatosis, bacillary peliosis, and verruga peruana. The results of this study show that Bartonella bacilliformis, the agent of Oroya fever and verruga peruana, produces a proteinaceous mi...

Epithelioid angiomyolipomas (EAMLs) are rare mesenchymal tumors whose malignant variant is extremely uncommon and highly aggressive. Treatment strategies include chemo radiation, transcatheter arterial embolization and surgical resection, which has remained the mainstay treatment. Targeted therapies including mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors such as Temsirolimus may offer some ho...

Vulvar epithelioid hemangioendothelioma as primary site is extremely rare tumor that may be confused with other mesenchymal tumors due to their rarity and its histologic features. We report a case of 46-year-old woman who presented to hospital with left vulvar mass. The mass was located in subcutaneous area of vulva, and well marginated contrast enhanced on radiologic examination. Local excisio...

Epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas are rare vascular tumors, often arising from medium to large veins in the extremities. Symptoms of these tumors vary depending upon location. Rarely, tumors may arise in chest and involve large vessels in the mediastinum. We present a case of a 17-year-old male presenting with compressive symptoms of the left upper extremity who was found to have a large epithe...

Introduction: Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rarely seen tumor most frequently originating from vascular structures of different regions including liver, followed by stomach, spleen, lung, bone, soft

BACKGROUND Epithelioid sarcomas of the hand are rare, high-grade tumors with a propensity for regional lymphatic spread approaching 40%. CASE PRESENTATION A 54-year-old male with an epithelioid sarcoma of the palm was treated with neoadjuvant radiation, wide excision, and two-stage reconstruction. Sentinel lymph node biopsy was used to stage the patient's axilla. Sentinel node biopsy results ...

Bacillary dysentery or shigellosis is mediated by the pathogenic enterobacteria Shigella. Shigella are transmitted through the fecal-oral route, no animal reservoir has been described, and remain a major cause of moderate-severe diarrhea worldwide since no Shigella vaccine is yet commercialized. The design of a pan-Shigella vaccine has been made difficult by the large variety of Shigella specie...
