Treatment and molecular analysis of bullous pemphigoid with tofacitinib: a case report and review of current literature

Project description:Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease with pruritus and tension blisters/bullous as the main clinical manifestations. Glucocorticosteroids are the main therapeutic agents for it, but their efficacy is poor in some patients. Tofacitinib, a small molecule agent that inhibits JAK1/3, has shown incredible efficacy in a wide range of autoimmune diseases and maybe a new valuable treatment option for refractory BP. To report a case of refractory BP successfully treated with tofacitinib, then explore the underlying mechanism behind the treatment, and finally review similarities to other cases reported in the literature. Case report and literature review of published cases of successful BP treatment with JAK inhibitors. The case report describes a 73-year-old male with refractory BP that was successfully managed with the combination therapy of tofacitinib and low-dose glucocorticoids for 28 weeks. Immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing were performed to analyze the underlying mechanism of tofacitinib therapy. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify other cases of treatment with JAK inhibitors. Throughout the 28-week treatment period, the patient experienced clinical, autoantibody and histologic resolution. Immunohistochemical analysis showed tofacitinib significantly decreased the pSTAT3 and pSTAT6 levels in the skin lesions of this patient. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemical testing of lesion samples from other BP patients identified activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Literature review revealed 17 previously reported cases of BP treated with four kinds of JAK inhibitors successfully, including tofacitinib (10), baricitinib (1), upadacitinib (3) and abrocitinib (3). Our findings support the potential of tofacitinib as a safe and effective treatment option for BP. Larger studies are underway to better understand this efficacy and safety.

Metastatic Adrenocortical Carcinoma With Chromothripsis: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) often has a poor outcome, with a five-year survival of less than 25%. We report a rare case of metastatic ACC with a myxoid variant with chromothripsis. We review the histologic variants of ACC, including myxoid type, molecular drivers, and current and investigational therapies for adrenocortical carcinoma. We also discuss the mechanism of chromothripsis, chromothripsis in ACC tumorigenesis, and propose potential therapies targeting chromothripsis.

Polymyositis and rhabdomyolysis caused by hepatocellular carcinoma - Case report and literature review.

Project description:IntroductionRhabdomyolysis is a syndrome characterized by a rapid necrosis of muscle fibers and the release of muscle-derived metabolic products into the circulatory system. A rare cause of rhabdomyolysis is paraneoplastic polymyositis.Case presentationA 67-year-old man was diagnosed with paraneoplastic polymyositis and rhabdomyolysis caused by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Intravenous steroid was used as a symptomatic therapy for rhabdomyolysis, and the tumour was removed by left hemihepatectomy to treat the underlying cause. After muscle strength gradually improved, steroid therapy was discontinued. The patient was reoperated multiple times due to bleeding and bile leakage. Following the operations, his overall state and muscle strength further improved. Despite that, the patient's condition worsened again, and eventually, he died of candida albicans pneumonia and sepsis.DiscussionHCC is an extremely rare cause of paraneoplastic polymyositis and rhabdomyolysis. Treatment is challenging, as none of the few available case reports record long term survival and less than half of the reports record muscle strength improvement. In our case, the patient was treated with systemic steroid therapy and resection of the tumour. The patient's muscle strength temporarily improved, but subsequently, the patient died.ConclusionOur case confirms the importance of a definitive treatment of HCC, as we achieved a significant improvement in muscle strength by removing the tumour. On the other hand, our paper highlights the dangers of double-sided steroid therapy, which, combined with the essential, effective treatment of rhabdomyolysis, may have contributed to the development of postoperative complications and candida sepsis leading to death.

Cherubism misdiagnosed as giant cell tumor: a case report and review of literature.

Project description:Cherubism is characterized by progressive, painless, bilateral enlargement of the mandible and/or maxilla resulting from the replacement of bone with multilocular cysts composed of fibrotic stromal cells and osteoclast-like cells. Here we report one Chinese cherubism case that has been misdiagnosed for more than forty years. The patient displayed no typical clinical or radiographical signs of cherubism due to multi-surgical treatments. Her histopathologic examination revealed the proliferating fibrous connective tissue with few multinucleated giant cells. The family history suggested us to perform sequence analysis of the SH3BP2 gene, a candidate marker for cherubism, in the family, and it was found that both the proband and the son had a missense mutation in SH3BP2 in exon 9 (p. Arg415Gln). Here we emphasize the importance of gene testing in the diagnosis of suspected cherubism, especially for those cases with non-typical clinical, radiographic and histological presentations.

Pyoderma Gangrenosum, Acne, and Hidradenitis Suppurativa Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa syndrome is a rare inflammatory disease characterized by pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), mild to severe facial acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). It only affects the skin and represents cutaneous characteristics of a spectrum of autoinflammation. Lack of pyogenic sterile arthritis (PA) distinguishes the pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa (PASH) syndrome from pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa (PA-PASH), pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, hidradenitis suppurtiva, and ankylosing spondylitis (PASS), and pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA) syndromes. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of PASH syndrome remain unknown. Both PG and HS are contained in the spectrum of neutrophilic dermatitis, which is considered as an autoinflammatory syndrome. From a pathophysiological point of view, they show similar mechanisms, including neutrophil-rich cutaneous infiltration and overexpression of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family. These findings provide guidance for these intractable diseases. In this review, we described a case of PASH syndrome in a patient who initially failed to respond to immunosuppressive treatment but responded to a combination of colchicine and thalidomide. We reviewed the relevant literature that focuses on PASH syndrome management.

Case Report: Small intestinal metastatic breast cancer: A case report and literature review.

Project description:Breast cancer is considered a malignant tumor with the highest incidence among women and is prone to develop distant metastasis. Small intestinal metastasis of breast cancer, however, is relatively rare. This case report describes a 49-year-old Chinese female patient who presented with small intestinal obstruction and was diagnosed with lobular breast cancer with small intestinal and contralateral breast metastasis. Clinical manifestations, clinicopathological features and potential mechanisms of metastasis, along with diagnosis and treatment, are discussed with a review of the relevant literature. Although small intestinal metastasis is rare in breast cancer, we should keep high alert on the possibility of gastrointestinal metastasis when treating lobular breast cancer patients.

Sellar Glomus Tumor Misdiagnosed as Pituitary Adenoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Project description:Glomus tumor is a rare mesenchymal tumor with an organ-like structure. Sellar glomus tumors are extremely rare with only six reported cases in the literature. Because of the lack of special clinical manifestations and imaging features, the disorder may be easily misdiagnosed as other sellar tumors, especially pituitary adenomas. Here, the present study showed a case of a 69-year-old male with hypopituitarism who was preliminarily misdiagnosed as non-functional pituitary adenoma.

Metastatic gastric carcinoma to the breast: A case report and review of the Chinese literature.

Project description:Breast metastasis is extremely unusual in gastric cancer patients worldwide. We herein report the case of a 39-year-old female Chinese patient presenting with symptoms of inflammation in the left breast. A biopsy did not reveal any evidence of malignancy. A modified radical mastectomy was performed and the postoperative pathological examination revealed infiltration by signet ring cell gastric carcinoma. A review of the Chinese literature was performed, and a total of 16 patients with breast metastasis from gastric carcinoma have been reported from 1990 onwards. This condition is associated with a poor prognosis, with a survival time of 1 month to 4 years. More studies are required to determine the optimal treatment.
