Localized cystic disease of the kidney: case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT: Localized cystic disease of the kidney (LCDK) is a benign and non-progressive renal anomaly that may initially be confused with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (as in the index case) or cystic neoplasms. It is best diagnosed with contrast-enhanced CT scan demonstrating the characteristic features of an unencapsulated mass of smooth-walled cysts with enhancing renal parenchyma between them. It is most often an incidental finding, but may present with flank pain or haematuria. Hypertension and renal impairment are uncommonly associated with LCDK. A complete physical examination and comprehensive family history are important to exclude other acquired or inherited causes of cystic kidney disease and to avoid unnecessary diagnostic procedures or nephrectomy. We describe a case manifesting many of the typical features of the condition and review previously published cases to describe the natural history and presentation of this rare entity.

An unusual case report of pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma metastasis to the kidney. Case report and literature review.

Project description:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant neoplasm, frequently affecting the salivary glands, and rarely occurring in other locations. ACC is characterized by slow growth, perineural invasion, local and late recurrence after original treatment. However, renal metastasis of ACC is very rare. To our best knowledge, only 11 cases of ACC metastasis to the kidney have been reported in the English literature to date. Herein, we presented a rare case of a 70-year-old man with renal metastasis from ACC of the right lung after 3 years of primary presentation. Our patient underwent right radical nephrectomy and histologically confirmed as Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma.

Cystic meningioma: A case report with a literature review.

Project description:Cystic meningiomas are very rare tumors of the central nervous system. We report the case of a 62-year-old female how presented headaches resistant to usual analgesics with behavior disorders. Cerebral CT scan showed a right frontal extra-axial tumor with firm and cystic component, brain MRI evoked the diagnosis, surgery removed the entire tumor and histological examination confirmed it. A cystic meningioma should not be omitted from the differential diagnosis of brain tumors with a cystic component and which clinical, radiological, histological and therapeutic features are discussed.

Primary lung carcinoma in cystic fibrosis: A case report and literature review.

Project description:Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have increased life span because of improved care over last 50 years. With increasing survival, predisposition of cancer may become evident. We have observed increase risk of gastrointestinal tract cancer, testicular cancer and lymphoid leukemia. Lung cancer in patients with CF is rare. Our patient developed chronic respiratory failure due to CF related bronchiectasis. Patient had progressive disease despite optimum treatment, requiring lung transplantation. Pathology of explant lung showed focus of invasive adenocarcinoma of lung origin. Patient had no evidence of lung carcinoma recurrence in one year. To our knowledge this is the fourth reported lung cancer case in a patient with CF.

Mesenteric cystic lymphatic malformation: a rare case report and review of the literature.

Project description:BackgroundMesenteric cystic lymphatic malformation (LM) is a rare congenital benign malformation in adults, and its location in the mesentery of the sigmoid colon is even rarer.Case descriptionWe describe a rare case of LM of the mesentery in a 49-year-old woman. The patient was inadvertently identified during a physical examination 1 month earlier. Transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the presence of an intrapelvic mass posterior to the uterus and right anterior to the sigmoid colon. According to the results of the ultrasound, the mass showed hypoechoic solid features with a blood flow signal, and MRI showed that the internal enhancement of the mass was uneven. According to its imaging characteristics, it was preliminarily speculated as a stromal tumor. The patient underwent laparoscopic fenestration and drainage of a sigmoid mesocolic cyst. The patient underwent laparoscopic fenestration and drainage of the sigmoid mesocolic cyst. The pathological diagnosis was cystic lymphangioma of the sigmoid mesangium. After the operation, the patient recovered well without any complications. No recurrence was observed during the 3-month follow-up.ConclusionsLM is a challenging and rare disease, and its diagnosis is difficult. However, the combination of imaging examination and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) technology can significantly improve the accurate diagnosis rate of the disease. Complete resection is the best choice for definite diagnosis and prevention of recurrence. It has been proved that laparoscopic surgery is a safe and feasible method for the treatment of this disease.

A RARE CASE OF ACROMEGALY AND AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE: CASE REPORT AND BRIEF REVIEW OF LITERATURE.

Project description:Objective:Acromegaly is a classic endocrine disorder caused by a growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary adenoma in an overwhelming majority of patients. The diagnosis may be delayed by several years due to the slow growing and insidious nature of the disease. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder characterized by multiple renal cysts and various other systemic manifestations. The purpose of this article is to report a rare case of acromegaly with coexistent ADPKD. Methods:We report a case of 42-year-old female with acromegaly and ADPKD along with a brief review of literature. Results:The patient was referred to us for evaluation of progressive acral enlargement and coarsening of facial features. Endocrine evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of acromegaly due to an underlying GH-secreting pituitary macroadenoma. She was also found to have ADPKD. We discuss the clinical features and management of the patient. Conclusion:The association of pituitary adenomas and ADPKD is very rare and interesting. All affected individuals with pituitary adenomas and ADPKD in the literature are women. Furthermore, all reported pituitary adenomas in these individuals (including ours) are functional GH-secreting ones. These findings argue against a mere chance association between the two diseases.

Sympathetic renal denervation in hypertension with chronic kidney disease: a case report and review of literature.

Project description:Resistant hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure that is higher than 140 mmHg even though they consume three maximally tolerated anti-hypertensive medication class, including diuretics at an appropriate dose [1]. There are many complications of resistant hypertension such as left ventricular hypertrophy, increased incidence of retinal hemorrhage and kidney damages [2]. A novel catheter-based technique for renal denervation (RDN) as a new therapeutic avenue has great promise for the treatment of refractory hypertension. Despite the fast pace of development in RDN therapies, only initial and very limited clinical data are available. Here, we present the effects of RDN on perivascular nerves of the renal arteries in a 62-year-old male patient. And large gaps in knowledge concerning the long-term effects and consequences of RDN still exist, and solid, randomized data are warranted.

Double cystic duct, a review of literature with report of a new case.

Project description:Although cystic duct variation is quite common, duplication of cystic duct is an extreme rare variant. We report a case of double cystic duct with literature review. A 33-year old female presented with right upper quadrant pain of three day duration, associated with nausea and poor appetite. The patient reported previous three attacks of right upper quadrant pain within the last two years. On examination: Murphy's sign was positive and the right upper quadrant was tender. Abdominal ultrasound showed multiple gall stones. Oesophago-gastro- duodenoscopy was normal. Under general anesthesia, four port formal laparoscopy was done, double cystic duct was found. Histopathological examination showed features of chronic cholecystitis.double cystic duct is a very rare variant of the cystic duct anomaly. Identification pre or intraoperatively is very important to prevent ductal injury.

Staphylococcal lung abscess in a child with cystic fibrosis: Case report & review of literature.

Project description:With contemporary cystic fibrosis (CF) care, a lung abscess is an uncommon occurrence. We describe a case of a staphylococcal lung abscess in a teenage girl with CF who presented with a two-week history of non-specific malaise followed by two days of left posterior chest pain and fever. A chest radiograph was consistent with a left sided pulmonary abscess, which was confirmed on a CT scan of the chest. The abscess was drained under ultrasound guidance and cultured methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. The patient responded well to antibiotic treatment with the abscess cavity showing complete radiological resolution by six weeks post drainage.

Graves Disease Causing Pancytopenia: Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Graves disease or other causes of thyrotoxicosis are frequently associated with cytopenia. Although anemia is the most common, other cell lineage can be affected. Pancytopenia is a rare complication of thyrotoxicosis.We report a case of a 33-year-old Chinese man who presented a nonsevere pancytopenia in the context of a newly diagnosed Graves disease. Restauration of euthyroid state led to progressive correction of pancytopenia.Literature review shows other rare cases of pancytopenia. It is usually nonsevere with just extremely rare cases of transfusion reported. Evolution was always favorable after achievement of euthyroid state. Its mechanism remains poorly understood, especially because those patients have no vitamin or iron deficiency. The exact physiopathological process remains unclear but 2 causes seem to overlap: reduced production of hematopoietic cells from the bone marrow and increased destruction or sequestration of mature hematopoietic cells. Despite unclear mechanism, the presence of hematologic abnormalities including pancytopenia must not be considered as a contraindication to antithyroid drug therapy.
