  • A Radiologic Score to Distinguish Autoimmune Hypophysitis from Nonsecreting Pituitary ORIGINAL RESEARCH Adenoma Preoperatively
    A Radiologic Score to Distinguish Autoimmune Hypophysitis from Nonsecreting Pituitary ORIGINAL RESEARCH Adenoma Preoperatively A. Gutenberg BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Autoimmune hypophysitis (AH) mimics the more common nonsecret- J. Larsen ing pituitary adenomas and can be diagnosed with certainty only histologically. Approximately 40% of patients with AH are still misdiagnosed as having pituitary macroadenoma and undergo unnecessary I. Lupi surgery. MR imaging is currently the best noninvasive diagnostic tool to differentiate AH from V. Rohde nonsecreting adenomas, though no single radiologic sign is diagnostically accurate. The purpose of this P. Caturegli study was to develop a scoring system that summarizes numerous MR imaging signs to increase the probability of diagnosing AH before surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a case-control study of 402 patients, which compared the presurgical pituitary MR imaging features of patients with nonsecreting pituitary adenoma and controls with AH. MR images were compared on the basis of 16 morphologic features besides sex, age, and relation to pregnancy. RESULTS: Only 2 of the 19 proposed features tested lacked prognostic value. When the other 17 predictors were analyzed jointly in a multiple logistic regression model, 8 (relation to pregnancy, pituitary mass volume and symmetry, signal intensity and signal intensity homogeneity after gadolin- ium administration, posterior pituitary bright spot presence, stalk size, and mucosal swelling) remained significant predictors of a correct classification. The diagnostic score had a global performance of 0.9917 and correctly classified 97% of the patients, with a sensitivity of 92%, a specificity of 99%, a positive predictive value of 97%, and a negative predictive value of 97% for the diagnosis of AH.

Penyakit ini juga dikenal sebagai bagian dari skleroderma terlokalisir. Berdasarkan gambaran klinis dan kedalaman jaringan yang terlibat, morfea dikelompokkan ke dalam beberapa bentuk dan sekitar dua pertiga orang dewasa dengan morfea mempunyai tipe plak. Produksi kolagen yang berlebihan oleh fibroblast merupakan penyebab kelainan pada morfea dan mekanisme terjadinya aktivitas fibroblast yang berlebihan ini masih belum diketahui, meskipun beberapa mekanisme pernah diajukan. Morfe tipe plak biasanya bersifat ringan dan dapat sembuh dengan sendirinya. Morfea tipe plak yang penampilan klinisnya menyerupai lupus eritematosus sistemik, misalnya meliputi alopesia dan ulkus mukosa di mulut, jarang dijumpai. Sebuah kasus morfea tipe plak pada wanita berusia 20 tahun dibahas. Pasien ini diobati dengan imunosupresan dan antioksidan local maupun sistemik. Kondisi paisen membaik tanpa disertai efek samping yang berarti. Kata kunci: morfea, tipe plak. ABSTRACT Morphea is an uncommon connective tissue disease with the most prominent feature being thickening or fibrosis of the dermal without internal organ involvement. It is also known as a part of localized scleroderma. Based on clinical presentation and depth of tissue involvement, morphea is classified into several forms, and about two thirds of adults with morphea have plaque type.

He was diagnosed with paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) with follicular lymphoma in the pancreas head and pelvic cavity. He was first treated with eight cycles of rituximab; his blisters and erosions gradually improved and highly elevated levels of auto-antibodies related to PNP gradually decreased to normal levels. However, obstructive and restrictive respiratory failure still progressed. Computed tomography of the inspiratory and expiratory phases revealed obstructive pulmonary disorder, leading to a diagnosis of bronchiolitis obliterans (BO). The patient underwent plasma exchange and was repeatedly treated with rituximab monotherapy and rituximab-containing chemotherapies, but died 7 months after the diagnosis of BO. Early introduction of rituximab- containing regimens may be necessary to prevent the development of BO accompanying PNP. However, when a diagnosis of PNP-related BO is made, lung transplantation may also be considered for patients in whom rituximab-containing regimens are effective for PNP. 〔J Clin Exp Hematop 55(2) : 83-88, 2015〕 Keywords: follicular lymphoma, paraneoplastic pemphigus, bronchiolitis obliterans, rituximab Without control of the malignant neoplasms, resolution of the INTRODUCTION skin blisters is difficult and requires high doses of cortico- Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a systemic autoim- steroids and immunosuppressive drugs.

  • Autoimmune Adrenal Insufficiency in Celiac Disease
    International Journal of Celiac Disease, 2016, Vol. 4, No. 3, xx Available online at http://pubs.sciepub.com/ijcd/4/3/5 ©Science and Education Publishing DOI:10.12691/ijcd-4-3-5 Autoimmune Adrenal Insufficiency in Celiac Disease Hugh J Freeman* Department of Medicine (Gastroenterology), UBC Hospital, Vancouver, BC, Canada *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Celiac disease is an immune-mediated intestinal disorder that may be associated with other immune- mediated extra-intestinal disorders, including immune-mediated endocrine diseases, such as autoimmune thyroiditis, most often with hypothyroidism. Other monoglandular autoimmune endocrine disorders may also occur, including autoimmune adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease). In celiac disease, clinical features of adrenal failure may be limited, difficult to differentiate from symptoms that might be attributed to celiac disease, or even life-threatening. In others with celiac disease, a polyglandular autoimmune syndrome has also been reported. Recent screening studies from multiple countries, particularly in Europe, have indicated that patients with autoimmune adrenal failure or Addison’s disease should be carefully screened for occult or silent celiac disease. Up to 10% of Addisonian patients may be serologically positive and histopathological features of untreated celiac disease may be detected, even with clinically occult intestinal disease. Celiac disease patients with a monoglandular autoimmune disorder should also be followed carefully for the later appearance of other autoimmune endocrine disorders as these may not all appear at the time of diagnosis of celiac disease, but sporadically during the life-long clinical course of celiac disease.

Reports of paraneoplastic pemphigus complicated by follicular lymphoma (FL) are rare in the medical literature. Here, we retrospectively analyze a case of PNP accompanied by FL. The patient was a 54-year-old woman who suffered from PNP associated with FL at the beginning. She had received a pathological diagnosis and was treated with R-CHOP and other drugs. Her mucosal lesions and cutaneous lesions improved, and the FL was in remission. Eleven months later, she died of BO after receiving the diagnosis of PNP. We also review most of the studies and reports about PNP accompanied by FL. We list the clinicopathologic features, therapeutic schedule, and prognosis in order to improve hematologists’ understanding and treatment of the diseases.

    3 179 M N Joshi and others Hypophysitis 179:3 R151–R163 Review MECHANISMS IN ENDOCRINOLOGY Hypophysitis: diagnosis and treatment Mamta N Joshi1, Benjamin C Whitelaw2,3 and Paul V Carroll1,3 Correspondence 1Department of Endocrinology, Guy’s & St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK, 2Department of should be addressed Endocrinology, Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK, and 3Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine, to P V Carroll King’s College Hospital London, London, UK Email [email protected] Abstract Hypophysitis is a rare condition characterised by inflammation of the pituitary gland, usually resulting in hypopituitarism and pituitary enlargement. Pituitary inflammation can occur as a primary hypophysitis (most commonly lymphocytic, granulomatous or xanthomatous disease) or as secondary hypophysitis (as a result of systemic diseases, immunotherapy or alternative sella-based pathologies). Hypophysitis can be classified using anatomical, histopathological and aetiological criteria. Non-invasive diagnosis of hypophysitis remains elusive, and the use of currently available serum anti-pituitary antibodies are limited by low sensitivity and specificity. Newer serum markers such as anti-rabphilin 3A are yet to show consistent diagnostic value and are not yet commercially available. Traditionally considered a very rare condition, the recent recognition of IgG4-related disease and hypophysitis as a consequence of use of immune modulatory therapy has resulted in increased understanding of the pathophysiology of hypophysitis.
