Tonnenkonkremente im Ductus choledochus bei einer 4 Jahre vergessenen, impaktierten Endoprothese
2006
We report on a 67-year-old female patient who presented in July 2005 with sudden onset of pain in the right upper abdomen. The patient had undergone cholecystectomy in 1987. Because of recurrrent complaints in the right upper abdomen, a pigtail stent was placed into the common hepatic duct in 2001. When the patients presented now, the laboratory tests including liver enzymes were within normal ranges. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiogi aphy, however, revealed a remaining 10-French, impacted double pigtail endoprothesis that was obstructed by sludge as well as multiple giant bile duct stones of 20 to 30 mm in size. The giant stones could be finally removed by the combined use of ESWL and endo…
Sex-specific and age-related seasonal variations regarding incidence and in-hospital mortality of pulmonary embolism in Germany
2020
Background Studies have reported seasonal variations regarding the incidence and the short-term mortality of pulmonary embolism (PE). The aim of this study was to identify sex-specific and age-related differences in seasonal patterns regarding hospitalisations and mortality of PE patients. Methods We analysed the impact of seasons on incidence and in-hospital mortality of male and female hospitalised PE patients in Germany (2005–2015) based on the German nationwide inpatient sample. Results The German nationwide inpatient sample comprised 885 806 hospitalisations due to PE (2005–2015). Seasonal variations of both incidence (p=0.021) and in-hospital mortality (p<0.001) were of significant ma…
Ejaculation Disorders in Male Patients with Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prevalence
2021
PURPOSE: Ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD) and erectile dysfunction after cancer treatment are clinically important complications, but their exact prevalence by various kinds of cancer site and type of treatment is unknown. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the available evidence and provide pooled estimates for prevalence of EjD and erectile dysfunction in relation to all cancer sites and identify characteristics associated with EjD in cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of cross-sectional and case-control studies. We searched 4 electronic databases (Medline®, CINAHL, PsychInfo and Embase®) until July 22, 2…
Solitary central osteoma of mandible in a geriatric patient: Report and review
2016
UNLABELLED Solitary central osteomas of jaw are extremely rare lesions with only few previously documented cases. This paper reports a case of large solitary central osteoma involving mandible symphysis- parasymphysis region in an elderly female patient. A brief review of similar cases reported in the literature is also provided in this paper. KEY WORDS Osteomas, osteogenic,bone, tumor, jaw, mandible.
Wild-type JAK2 secondary acute erythroleukemia developing after JAK2-V617F-mutated primary myelofibrosis.
2009
A 54-year-old female patient developed acute erythroleukemia after an 8-year course of primary myelofibrosis. The latter harbors the JAK2-V617F mutation and was treated with hydroxyurea and anagrelide. A bone marrow trephine biopsy disclosed 2 morphologically distinct areas of chronic primary myelofibrosis and acute erythroleukemia. Microdissection and a separate molecular pathological analysis was performed. Although the activating JAK2-V617F mutation was not maintained in blasts of acute erythroleukemia, it was detectable in the chronic phase of primary myelofibrosis, indicating that this mutation did not play a role in the leukemic transformation of erythroid cells.
Histopathologic analysis of gingival lesions : a 20-year retrospective study at one academic dental center
2018
Background The gingiva is part of the periodontium supporting structures surrounding the teeth and commonly involved in gingival and periodontal conditions. Assessing the distribution of gingival lesions is important for evaluating the prevalence of periodontal disease in the population to optimize the oral health care services. The purpose of this study is to report the frequency and distribution of gingival lesions biopsied from 1996-2016. Material and methods This cross-sectional retrospective study retrieved data from all gingival lesions biopsied from 1996-2016 and sent to the King Abdulaziz University Dental Hospital oral pathology laboratory. Histologic sections were reviewed in a bl…
Tumor de células de la granulosa extraovárico con mutación FOXL2. Diagnóstico diferencial morfológico e inmunohistoquímico
2020
Extraovarian granulosa cell tumor is a very uncommon tumor and the identification of a recurrent mutation in FOXL2 may be used as another diagnostic tool along with the classical morphological and immunohistochemical findings. Here, we report a new case of extraovarian granulosa cell tumor in a 57 years old female patient presented with a sub-hepatic mass and abdominal pain. Histopathological examination of the excised mass showed features of adult-type granulosa cell tumor with α-inhibin, calretinin, WT1, S100, CD99 and progesterone receptor immunoreactivity. A FOXL2 mutation was detected on molecular biology study. A final diagnosis was an extraovarian adult-type granulosa cell tumor. We …
Abdominal Tumor in a 14-Year-Old Adolescent: Imperforate Hymen, Resulting in Hematocolpos—A Case Report and Review of the Literature
2014
Background. Abdominal masses in female adolescents are uncommon. A rare cause of this condition is hematocolpos due to imperforate hymen.Case. We present a case of an unusually massive asymptomatic abdominal bulk in a 14-year-old female patient, who sought for medical advice after unusual abdominal pain lasting for few weeks. The patient was otherwise asymptomatic, apart from an unusual dramatic expansion of her abdominal wall during the last month. We describe the surgical management and the follow-up of the patient.Summary and Conclusion. Clinicians should keep in mind that an imperforate hymen can cause abdominal growth due to hematocolpos and include it in the differential diagnosis of …
