A 32-year-old man with a ten-year history of bilateral cervical adenopathy, parotid gland swelling, and a posterior mediastinal mass, presented with headaches. A CAT scan of the head revealed a suprasellar mass. Craniotomy and biopsy of this lesion led to a diagnosis of sinus histiocytosis.

INTRODUCTION Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD) is a benign, self-limited, inflammatory disorder, first reported in Japan. This condition is more prevalent among women and typically occurs in the third decade of life. It normally manifests as persistent, isolated cervical adenopathy with a recurrence rate of 3%. The identification of this condition is of high significance, given the risk of misdiag...

Non-pancreatic gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) include a wide group of diseases mainly located in the ileum and appendix and usually with no clinical signs of hormone hypersecretion. At least 140 cases have been reported in the ampulla of Vater, whose symptoms usually derive from ampullar obstruction and include abdominal pain, pancreatitis, jaundice, or gastrointestinal bleeding....

Technologic limitations are sometimes a boon. Whether in medicine or in other areas of science, limitations prompt a search for new and improved solutions. In surgical oncology, once techniques for removal of tumor-bearing cervical lymph nodes became part of standard medical practice, it was important to identify those nodes preoperatively. Clever minds have devised many approaches, but the lar...

Kimura’s disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder primarily seen in male Asians during the second and third decades of life. Clinically, it presents as solitary or multiple subcutaneous nodules, predominantly in the head and neck region, typically in the pre auricular region, forehead, and scalp. The etiology of Kimura disease is still unknown. This disorder should be suspected when the ...

Fusobacterium necrophorum is infrequently implicated as a pathogenic organism. When pathogenic, the typical clinical presentation is that of pharyngitis, cervical adenopathy, and unilateral thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein. Infections caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum within the fields of obstetrics and gynecology have been infrequently reported. We describe a 19-year-old woman w...

Their medical history of recurrent fever attacks started at the age of 14 and 6 months respectively. Fever was accompanied by cervical adenopathy, severe exudative pharyngitis, oral aphtosis, abdominal pain and diarrhoea, sometimes with bloody stools. At the age of 10 and 9 years, screening for autoinflammatory disorders was performed revealing a single mutated FMF gene (E148Q). Since they fulf...

BACKGROUND Recurrent fever syndrome, known as the Marshall syndrome (MS), is a clinical entity that includes several clinical features, such as: fever (39-40°C) that occurs repeatedly at variable intervals (3-8 weeks) and in episodes of 3 to 6 days, cervical adenopathy, pharyngitis, and aphthous stomatitis. The diagnosis of MS is one of exclusions; laboratory data is nonspecific and no abnormal...
