  • Increased Nuchal Translucency Precision Panel
    Increased Nuchal Translucency Precision Panel Overview Increased Nuchal Translucency (NT) is defined as an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the nuchal area, which is visualized as a thickened sonolucent area. It is a standardized measure obtained between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation to calculate the risk of a fetus being affected by a chromosomal aneuploidy. NT>3.5mm has been found to be associated with fetal chromosomal abnormalities and single-gene disorders as well as cardiac defects and other structural abnormalities in euploid and aneuploid fetuses. Proportionally as NT increases, even with a normal karyotype, there is a higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes such as miscarriage, intrauterine death, congenital heart defects and numerous other structural and genetic syndromes. There is not one single cause of increased NT, it is based on a complex and multifactorial process, linked to one or more embryonic processes. It has been shown that a persistently increased NT with a normal karyotype and aCGH has a 4-10% probability of being associated to Noonan Syndrome and/or other RASopathies using Whole Exome Sequencing (WES). However, the general tendency following detection of isolated enlarged NT in an euploid fetus is that most babies with normal detailed ultrasound examination and echocardiography will have uneventful outcomes. The Igenomix Increased Nuchal Translucency Precision Panel can be used to make a directed and accurate prenatal differential diagnosis of increased nuchal translucency in patients with or without a normal karyotype ultimately leading to a better management and prognosis of the associated comorbidities. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the genes involved in this disease using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to fully understand the spectrum of relevant genes involved.

  • Primary Desmoid Tumor of the Small Bowel: a Case Report and Literature Review
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.4915 Primary Desmoid Tumor of the Small Bowel: A Case Report and Literature Review Peter A. Ebeling 1 , Tristan Fun 1 , Katherine Beale 1 , Robert Cromer 2 , Jason W. Kempenich 1 1. Surgery, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, USA 2. Surgery, Keesler U.S. Air Force Medical Center, Biloxi, USA Corresponding author: Peter A. Ebeling, [email protected] Abstract Desmoid tumors, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, are fibromuscular neoplasms that arise from mesenchymal cell lines. They may occur in almost all soft tissue compartments. Primary desmoids of the small bowel are rare but potentially serious tumors presenting unique challenges to the general surgeon. We present one case of a 59-year-old man presenting with three months of abdominal distension secondary to a small bowel desmoid. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed an 18-cm mass in the mid-abdomen without obvious vital structure encasement. Percutaneous biopsy of the mass indicated a desmoid tumor. The patient underwent a successful elective exploratory laparotomy with resection and primary enteric anastomosis. Final pathology revealed the mass to be a primary desmoid of the small bowel. His post- operative course was uneventful. At two years after surgery, he is symptom free, and there is no evidence of disease recurrence. Due to the rare nature of primary small bowel desmoids, there are few specific care pathways outlined. This is a challenging pathology to treat that often requires a multidisciplinary team of surgical and medical oncologists.

Conflicts of Interests: The Authors declare that there are no competing interest This article is licensed under a Commons Attribution Non-Commercial 4.0 License ABSTRACT POEMS syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic condition associated with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, monoclonal gammopathy, endocrine and skin changes. We report a case of a man with Castleman disease and monoclonal gammopathy, with a history of chronic diarrhoea and asthenia. Gastrointestinal involvement in POEMS syndrome is not frequently referred to in the literature and its physiopathology is not fully understood. Diagnostic criteria were met during hospitalization but considering the patient’s overall health condition, therapeutic options were limited. Current treatment for POEMS syndrome depends on the management of the underlying plasma cell disorder. This report outlines the importance of a thorough review of systems and a physical examination to allow an attempted diagnosis and appropriate treatment. LEARNING POINTS • POEMS syndrome should be suspected in the presence of peripheral polyneuropathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy; diagnostic workup is challenging and delay in treatment is very common.

We describe a Center case of intrapulmonary A-V shunt as the etiology of an acute ischemic event. A 63 year old male with a past history of (Dominik supraventricular tachycardia and recurrent deep vein thrombosis; who has been non-compliant on Rivaroxaban, presents with Zampino) pleuritic chest pain and was found to have a right lower lobe pulmonary embolus. The deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus were not significant enough to warrant ultrasound-enhanced thrombolysis by Ekosonic EndoWave Infusion Catheter System, and the patient was subsequently restarted on Rivaroxaban and discharged. The patient presented five days later with left arm tightness and was found to have multiple areas of punctuate infarction of both cerebellar hemispheres, more confluent within the right frontal lobe. Of note he was compliant at this time with Rivaroxaban. The patient was started on unfractionated heparin drip and subsequently admitted. On admission, his vital signs showed a blood pressure of 138/93, heart rate 65 bpm, and respiratory rate 16. Cardiopulmonary examination revealed regular rate and rhythm, without murmurs, rubs or gallops and his lungs were clear to auscultation. Neurologic examination revealed intact cranial nerves, preserved strength in all extremities, mild dysmetria in the left upper extremity and an NIH score of 1.

Although the incidence of shoulder dislocation is similar between young and elderly patients, most studies have traditionally focused on young pa- tients due to relatively high rates of recurrent dislocations in this population. However, shoulder dislocations in older patients also require careful evaluation and treatment selection because they can lead to persistent pain and disability due to rotator cuff tears and nerve injuries. This article provides an overview of the nature and pathology of acute primary anterior shoulder dislocation, widely accepted management modalities, and differences in treatment for young and elderly patients.

What Is a Soft Tissue Sarcoma? Cancer starts when cells start to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer and can spread to other areas. To learn more about how cancers start and spread, see What Is Cancer?1 There are many types of soft tissue tumors, and not all of them are cancerous. Many benign tumors are found in soft tissues. The word benign means they're not cancer. These tumors can't spread to other parts of the body. Some soft tissue tumors behave 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 in ways between a cancer and a non-cancer. These are called intermediate soft tissue tumors. When the word sarcoma is part of the name of a disease, it means the tumor is malignant (cancer).A sarcoma is a type of cancer that starts in tissues like bone or muscle. Bone and soft tissue sarcomas are the main types of sarcoma. Soft tissue sarcomas can develop in soft tissues like fat, muscle, nerves, fibrous tissues, blood vessels, or deep skin tissues.

  • Pituitary Incidentalomas in Paediatric Age Are Different from Those Described in Adulthood
    Pituitary (2019) 22:124–128 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11102-019-00940-4 Pituitary incidentalomas in paediatric age are different from those described in adulthood Pedro Souteiro1,2,3 · Rúben Maia4 · Rita Santos‑Silva2,5 · Rita Figueiredo4 · Carla Costa2,5 · Sandra Belo1 · Cíntia Castro‑Correia2,5 · Davide Carvalho1,2,3 · Manuel Fontoura2,5 Published online: 25 January 2019 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose Guidelines on pituitary incidentalomas evaluation and management are limited to adults since there are no data on this matter in the paediatric population. We aim to analyse the morphologic characteristics, hormonal profile and follow-up of these lesions in children. Methods We have searched for pituitary incidentalomas in the neuroimaging reports and electronic medical records of the Paediatric Endocrinology Clinic of our centre. Patients with 18 years-old or less were included. Results Forty-one incidentalomas were identified, 25 of them (62.4%) in females. The mean age at diagnosis was 12.0 ± 4.96 years-old. Headaches were the main reason that led to image acquisition (51.2%) and MRI was the imaging method that detected the majority of the incidentalomas (70.7%). The most prevalent lesion was pituitary hypertrophy (29.3%), which was mainly diagnosed in female adolescents (91.7%), followed by arachnoid cysts (17.1%), pituitary adenomas (14.6%) and Rathke’s cleft cysts (12.2%). Most patients (90.2%) did not present clinical or laboratorial findings of hypopituitarism or hormonal hypersecretion. Four patients presented endocrine dysfunction: three had growth hormone deficiency and one had a central precocious puberty.

  • Aggressive Fibromatosis (Desmoid Tumor) Is Derived from Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells
    Published OnlineFirst September 14, 2010; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-10-1656 Published OnlineFirst on September 14, 2010 as 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-10-1656 Tumor and Stem Cell Biology Cancer Research Aggressive Fibromatosis (Desmoid Tumor) Is Derived from Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells Colleen Wu1, Saied Nik-Amini1, Puviindran Nadesan1, William L. Stanford2, and Benjamin A. Alman1,3 Abstract The cellular origins from which most tumors arise are poorly defined, especially in mesenchymal neoplasms. Aggressive fibromatosis, also known as desmoid tumor, is a locally invasive soft tissue tumor that has mesenchymal characteristics. We found that aggressive fibromatosis tumors express genes and cell surface markers characteristic of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). In mice that are genetically predisposed to develop wt/1638N aggressive fibromatosis tumors (Apc ), we found that the number of tumors formed was proportional to −/− wt/1638N the number of MSCs present. Sca-1 mice, which develop fewer MSCs, were crossed with Apc mice. Doubly mutant mice deficient in Sca-1 developed substantially fewer aggressive fibromatosis tumors than wild-type (WT) littermates, but Sca-1 deficiency had no effect on the formation of epithelial-derived intestinal wt/1638N polyps. MSCs isolated from Apc mice(ormiceexpressingastabilizedformofβ-catenin) induced aberrant cellular growth reminiscent of aggressive fibromatosis tumors after engraftment to immunocompro- mised mice, but WT cells and mature fibroblasts from the same animals did not. Taken together, our findings indicate that aggressive fibromatosis is derived from MSCs, and that β-catenin supports tumorigenesis by maintaining mesenchymal progenitor cells in a less differentiated state. Protecting this progenitor cell popu- lation might prevent tumor formation in patients harboring a germline APC mutation, where fibromatosis is currently the leading cause of mortality.
