Both patients had white intraretinal lesions, which became confluent. One of the cases had a depressed cell-mediated immunity; both patients ultimately died after a prolonged illness. In one patient cytomegalovirus was cultured from a vitreous biopsy. Autopsy revealed disseminated cytomegalovirus in both patients. Widespread retinal necrosis was evident, with typical nuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions of cytomegalovirus. Electron microscopy showed herpes virus, while immunoperoxidase techniques showed cytomegalovirus. The altered cell-mediated response present in homosexual patients may be responsible for the clinical syndromes of Kaposi's sarcoma and opportunistic infection by Pneumocystis carinii, herpes simplex, or cytomegalovirus. http://bjo.bmj.com/ Retinal involvement in adult cytomegalic inclusion manifestations of the syndrome include the 'gay disease (CID) is usually associated with the con- bowel syndrome9 and Kaposi's sarcoma. -

DUKE UNIVERSITY School of Medicine Pathologists' Assistant
DUKE UNIVERSITY School of Medicine Pathologists’ Assistant Program Department of Pathology Academic Programs The Department of Pathology at Duke University offers a wide array of training programs to fit individual requirements and goals. The Residency Training program is an ACGME approved program and is available as an Anatomic Pathology/Clinical Pathology combined program, a shorter Anatomic Pathology only program, or an Anatomic Pathology/Neuropathology program. Subspecialty fellowships in Cytopathology, Dermatopathology, Hematopathology, Medical Microbiology, and Neuropathology are also ACGME approved. These programs provide the highest quality of graduate medical education by drawing on the depth and breadth of faculty expertise in the Department in all aspects of anatomic and clinical pathology and the availability of a wide variety of often complex clinical cases seen at Duke University Health System. For medical students interested in a career in Pathology pre-doctoral fellowships, internships and externships are available. Research Training in Experimental pathology can be obtained through Pre- and postdoctoral fellowships of one to five years. All pre-doctoral fellows are candidates for the Ph.D. degree in pathology. The Ph.D. is optional in postdoctoral programs, which provide didactic and research training in various aspects of modern experimental pathology. A two year NAACLS accredited Pathologists’ Assistant Program leads to a Master of Health Science degree, certifies graduates to sit for the ASCP Board of Certification examination, and leads to exciting career opportunities in a variety of anatomic pathology laboratory settings. Pathologists’ assistants are analogous to physician assistants, but with highly specialized training in autopsy and surgical pathology. This profession was pioneered in the Duke Department of Pathology 50 years ago, and is one of only twelve such programs in existence today. -

Although similar in 17 8th Annual Spring Meeting microscopic morphology, Marjolin’s ulcer is unique from other cutaneous SCCs in many other significant characteristics. The carcinoma often appears decades after the initial 18 Board of Trustees Chair’s Report trauma, but once present it follows a rapid course of growth and metastasis. In the current case study, a male in his mid-30s with history of extensive burns as a child presented 21 Gross Photo Unknown to the Emergency Department complaining of a large, open wound on his lower back. -

Esophagopharyngeal Perforation and Prevertebral Abscess After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: a Case Report

Gerling4 1Division of Orthopedic Surgery, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Jersey City Medical Center – Robertwood Johnson Barnabas Health, Jersey City, NJ, USA; 2Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, RWJBarnabas Health, New Brunswick, NJ, USA; 3New York Grossman School of Medicine, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY, USA; 4Chief of Spine Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, New York University Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, Tribeca, New York, NY, USA Correspondence to: Jay K. Shah, DO. Division of Orthopedic Surgery, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Jersey City Medical Center – Robertwood Johnson Barnabas Health, 355 Grand Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) represents one of the most commonly performed spine surgeries. Dysphagia secondary to esophageal injury during retraction is one of the most common complications, and usually leads to self-limiting dysphagia. However, actual perforation and violation of the esophageal tissue is much rarer and can lead to delayed deep infections. Prevertebral abscess’ are one of the most feared complications after ACDF, as they can lead to severe tissue swelling, osteomyelitis, hardware failure, and even death. Due to their rarity, a gold standard of workup and treatment is still unknown. A healthy 47-year-old female presents 9 months after a C4–C7 ACDF done at an outside institution with a large prevertebral abscess, osteomyelitis, hardware failure, and pseudoarthrosis secondary to esophagopharyngeal defect and prominent hardware. Overall, the patient underwent eight surgeries, and required an extended course of intravenous (IV) antibiotics, multiple diagnostic procedures, and complex soft tissue coverage using an anterolateral thigh free flap. -
