It appeared two years prior to presentation. He experienced no pain or limitations in activities. There was no preceding trauma, and there were no complaints of skin changes. His past surgical history was significant for a radical left nephrectomy done 10 years previously for RCC (clear cell type, Fuhrman nuclear grade 2). Routine annual surveillance was negative for local recurrence or distant metastases. On physical examination, there was a solitary swelling on the volar aspect of the proximal left forearm, measuring approximately 4 cm in length and 3 cm in diameter. The overlying skin was normal. It was not tender, with a smooth surface. The mass appeared to be pulsatile, and was compressible, with immediate refill. There was no thrill or bruit. Ultrasound revealed a solitary, heterogeneous, ovoid intramuscular lesion with increased signal on colour Doppler. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging showed a well defined fusiform lesion with heterogenous signal intensity within the left brachioradialis muscle (Fig. 1). Intense enhancement was seen post-gadolinium administration. Areas of flow void were also seen, which suggested the possibility of a fast flowing vascular malformation. There was no marked surrounding oedema to indicate surrounding muscular infiltration. From the imaging, it was concluded that although there was a possibility of it being a hypervascular mass, as the features of the lesion were more benign in nature, a fast flow vascular malformation was more likely. Excision of this lesion was performed under general anaesthesia. Intra-operatively there was a benign looking lesion, with a smooth surface, encapsulated by a thick fibrous wall (Fig. 2). It measured 4 cm in length by 2 cm in diameter by 1.7 cm in thickness. It was pulsatile and compressible, with immediate refilling with blood. The main feeding vessel was seen to arise from the recurrent radial artery. The entire lesion was removed successfully, after ligation of its feeding branches. Recovery from the operation was uneventful. Surprisingly, histopathological examination of the specimen was consistent with metastatic RCC (Fig. 3).

Unfortunately, flap necrosis developed after 8 days (Fig. 2A) and additional necrotic lesions occurred on the contralateral lower extremity after 15 days. A skin biopsy revealed fatty tissue necrosis with extensive interstitial calcification on histopathology. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were elevated at 441 pg/mL (normal range, 11-67 pg/ml). Haemodialysis, which had been started upon worsening of renal function, was thus intensified and pharmacological parathyroid suppression was initiated by thiosulfate and cinacalcet administration. Due to persistently high PTH levels, parathyroidectomy was performed and PTH levels normalized subsequently. OUTPUT:

On his initial visit, physical examination revealed a red, pigmented plaque, 90 x 80 mm, with a dome-shaped elastic-soft nodule (fig. 1a). The diameter of the nodule was approximately 20 mm. A skin biopsy from the edge of the plaque revealed atypical squamous cells containing large oval nuclei with occasional conspicuous nucleoli, with individual keratinization, mitotic figures and clumping cells. In addition, the biopsy specimen from the center of the nodule revealed dense infiltrating atypical squamous cells throughout the dermis (fig. 1c). We first diagnosed this patient as invasive BD and excised the tumor with a 5-mm margin. Unexpectedly the histological finding of the whole tumor revealed that the squamous cell-composed tumor was surrounded by another type of tumor composed of small round cells with scant cytoplasm and oval nuclei (fig. 1b, d). These small round cells were positive for AE1/AE3, cytokeratin 20, synaptophysin and CD56, and negative for 34betaE12, cytokeratin 7, chromogranin A and TTF1. From the above findings, we diagnosed this tumor as MCC concomitant with invasive BD. We screened for a possible internal malignancy with positron emission tomography computed tomography and found no evidence of metastasis. As we and other reports suggested, both invasive BD and MCC contain substantial numbers of immunoreactive and immunosuppressive cells. Notably, a previous report even suggested that the number of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ cells determines the prognosis of MCC. Therefore, we further employed immunohistochemical staining for CD8 (fig. 2a, b), caspase 3 (fig. 2c, d), Foxp3 (fig. 3a, b), CD163 (fig. 3c, d) and CD206 (fig. 3e, f) in the lesional areas of invasive BD and MCC. Substantial numbers of immunoreactive and immunosuppressive cells were detected at the edge of the tumor in invasive BD, whereas TILs were scattered at the center of the tumor in MCC. Both invasive BD and MCC contained caspase 3-expressing cells in the CD8-infiltrated areas, which suggested induction of an anti-tumor immune response in the tumor microenvironment by CD8+ cytotoxic T cells.\nOUTPUT:" }, { "from": "agent", "value": "Merkel Cell Carcinoma, Invasive Bowen's Disease" } ]
As a physician engaged in clinical diagnostic reasoning, here is a case report from Pubmed, please analyze the input and accurately identify the diagnosis presented within it. INPUT: A 71-year-old Japanese male visited our outpatient clinic with a 6-month history of a rapidly growing red plaque on his back. On his initial visit, physical examination revealed a red, pigmented plaque, 90 x 80 mm, with a dome-shaped elastic-soft nodule (fig. 1a). The diameter of the nodule was approximately 20 mm. A skin biopsy from the edge of the plaque revealed atypical squamous cells containing large oval nuclei with occasional conspicuous nucleoli, with individual keratinization, mitotic figures and clumping cells. In addition, the biopsy specimen from the center of the nodule revealed dense infiltrating atypical squamous cells throughout the dermis (fig. 1c). We first diagnosed this patient as invasive BD and excised the tumor with a 5-mm margin. Unexpectedly the histological finding of the whole tumor revealed that the squamous cell-composed tumor was surrounded by another type of tumor composed of small round cells with scant cytoplasm and oval nuclei (fig. 1b, d).

MMT at the beginning of the rehabilitation on the affected side was as follows: deltoid, 2; biceps brachii, 2; triceps brachii, 4; wrist flexion muscles, 4; wrist extension muscles, 4; lumbricals, 4; and interosseous muscle, 4. His sensory function was only impaired in the region innervated by the axillary nerve. The assessment of ADL performance revealed that he was fully independent with the use of the unaffected limb. The preoperative rehabilitation involved ROM exercises and strengthening of the remaining muscles. Since surgical reconstruction of elbow flexion was planned, the focus was on strengthening of the muscle groups involved in wrist flexion and extension (Figure 5). Recovery of the biceps brachii muscle (elbow flexion strength) stopped at MMT grade 2; thus, the modified SLM procedure was performed one year and five months after the injury. After immobilization with a cast for five weeks, the patient began training of the range of elbow flexion with active motions of the transferred muscle with the support of a sling. Simultaneously, the patient underwent active training of the wrist extensor muscles. Subsequently, he underwent active elbow flexion training, and we initiated manual resistance active elbow flexion training at four months postoperatively. At six months postoperatively, the patient achieved excellent elbow flexion strength (MMT 4), and the active range of elbow flexion increased from 0 preoperatively to 120 postoperatively (Figure 6).

As a physician engaged in clinical diagnostic reasoning, here is a case report from Pubmed, please analyze the input and accurately identify the diagnosis presented within it. INPUT: He sought medical attention at our hospital two weeks after the injury. However, the rehabilitation did not begin until four months after the injury. MMT at the beginning of the rehabilitation on the affected side was as follows: deltoid, 2; biceps brachii, 2; triceps brachii, 4; wrist flexion muscles, 4; wrist extension muscles, 4; lumbricals, 4; and interosseous muscle, 4. His sensory function was only impaired in the region innervated by the axillary nerve. The assessment of ADL performance revealed that he was fully independent with the use of the unaffected limb. The preoperative rehabilitation involved ROM exercises and strengthening of the remaining muscles. Since surgical reconstruction of elbow flexion was planned, the focus was on strengthening of the muscle groups involved in wrist flexion and extension (Figure 5). Recovery of the biceps brachii muscle (elbow flexion strength) stopped at MMT grade 2; thus, the modified SLM procedure was performed one year and five months after the injury. After immobilization with a cast for five weeks, the patient began training of the range of elbow flexion with active motions of the transferred muscle with the support of a sling. Simultaneously, the patient underwent active training of the wrist extensor muscles. Subsequently, he underwent active elbow flexion training, and we initiated manual resistance active elbow flexion training at four months postoperatively. At six months postoperatively, the patient achieved excellent elbow flexion strength (MMT 4), and the active range of elbow flexion increased from 0 preoperatively to 120 postoperatively (Figure 6). The patient was able to lift a plastic bottle up to his mouth. At 12 months postoperatively, his elbow flexion strength remained at MMT 4 and the active range of elbow flexion increased to 145 . The preoperative MMT of the wrist extensor muscle group was 4, and it increased to 5 at 12 months postoperatively. Active ranges of elbow extension, forearm pronation/supination, and wrist flexion/extension at 12 months after surgery were -20 , full range, and full range, respectively. As with the patient in Case 1, the patient in this case was also able to carry a 5 kg object with both hands. OUTPUT:

Past medical history revealed no previous serious illnesses. The patient never smoked. Chest X-ray showed a right upper lobe infiltrate. Blood testing revealed leukocytosis and a high C-reactive protein. A diagnosis of right sided pneumonia was made and the patient was admitted to the hospital's Internal Medicine Department. Antibiotic therapy was started but fever and symptoms failed to respond. Due to the persistence of the symptoms and the presence of graysh/black sputum, chest computed tomography was performed. This revealed mixed ground-glass and lobar consolidation involving the right superior lobe, with associated air bronchograms and thickened interlobular septa, patchy areas of ground-glass in the middle and inferior lobe with air bronchograms and thickened interlobular septa and multiple bilateral nodules of varying size. Tumor markers were within the normal range. Bronchoscopic examination showed a bulging lesion in the bronchus of the lower left lobe, and BAL revealed presence of melanocytes. Careful skin examination showed a small lesion at the left shoulder and another at the left limb. The patient underwent surgical removal of the two lesions. The histopatological report described aggregates of atypical melanocytes within the dermis with thinning of the epidermis, no lateral extension of atypical melanocytes within the epidermis, absence of inflammatory infiltrate and junctional activity. This was reported as a characteristic pattern of metastatic malignant melanoma (MM). A CT scan of the brain revealed multiple secondary lesions. Detailed neurologic evaluation revealed the absence of any clinical neurological deficit. Comprehensive ophthalmologic examination showed no evidence of ocular melanoma. A CT guided lung biopsy showed submucosal malignant epithelioid cells with large amounts of acidophilic cytoplasm and prominent nuclei. Dark brown pigment was observed in some of the tumor cells (Fig. 1). Mitotic figures were prominent. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated positivity for pan-melanoma, S-100 protein, Vimentin, and HMB45 (melanoma marker), and were negative for cytokeratin (CK), epithelial membrane.

The neonate presented bilious vomiting and progressive abdominal distention on day 7. The feeding was progressively reduced and suppressed on day 9 due to bilious secretions from the nasogastric tube.

Once again, microm-PEA demonstrated beneficial effects in reducing pathology-related biochemical alterations in this animal model of AD. In fact, 3-month microm-PEA treatment markedly reduced astrocytic activation in 3xTg-AD mice, as demonstrated by the decrease in GFAP mRNA and protein expression and the trend toward a decrease of S100B protein expression levels. Furthermore, chronic treatment reduced iNOS levels, slightly dampened the expression of Abeta, and increased the expression of BDNF in 3xTg-AD mice. Taken together, these findings indicate that early-symptomatic 3xTg-AD mice display signs of reactive gliosis in the frontal cortex and that the chronic microm-PEA may counteract such phenomenon, also improving the trophic support to neurons, in the absence of astrocytes and neuronal toxicity. To the best of our knowledge, current clinical studies of PEA are mostly related to pain or peripheral inflammatory-related conditions, while there are very few studies aimed at evaluating the possible beneficial effects of PEA on CNS-related pathologies in human beings. This could be due to the fact that very little is known about the pharmacokinetics of PEA in humans (please see Pharmacokinetic). In fact, the bioavailability and apparent volume of distribution have not been clearly evaluated; and blood PEA levels, at least in animals, do not accurately reflect levels in the CNS. The micronized or ultramicronized forms of PEA increased bioavailability in animals compared with naive forms, but there are very few and very recent clinical data to confirm that this is true for humans. Thus, while it seems likely that the new PEA formulations improve the compound bioavailability, complete pharmacokinetics data are urgently necessary to assess the precise tissue distribution and site of metabolism of PEA.

The biopsy specimen revealed a low-grade well-differentiated SCC, and surgical excision of the lesion was performed at the community hospital. As surgical margins were incomplete, the patient was referred to our tertiary care surgical oncology service for re-excision. The tumor proved to be highly aggressive as within 2 months a new violaceous necrotic mass had rapidly emerged within the surgical wound (Figure 1).

The patient reported that she had recently restarted taking methimazole 10 mg daily after being noncompliant with her medications for the past 3 years. In the emergency department, she was found to be in atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular rate and to have an estimated left ventricular ejection fraction of 20%. Laboratory evaluation revealed a suppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone (0.01 mlU/L), elevated free T4 (3.48 ng/dL), elevated free T3 (9.90 pg/mL), and normal liver transaminases. A diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis was made, and treatment with PTU and propranolol was initiated. PTU was chosen due to its inhibition of the peripheral conversion of T4 to T3 and subsequent preference in thyroid storm. Nine hours after the initial dose of 200 mg PTU, the patient's aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels showed significant elevation, eventually peaking at 1127 IU/L and 1004 IU/L, respectively (Figure 1). The patient was then transferred to the intensive care unit for close monitoring. This initial treatment was followed by the failure of a tapered regimen of methimazole secondary to persistently worsening liver function. Intravenous corticosteroids were initiated, resulting in the improvement of both liver and thyroid functions. This allowed for the reintroduction of methimazole without any observed adverse effects. On discharge, the levels of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were decreased to 38 IU/L and 163 IU/L, respectively. In addition, cardiac function improved with a recalculated left ventricular ejection fraction of 40%. Her hepatitis panels and an autoimmune workup (anti-nuclear antibody, anti-smooth muscle antibody, and anti-mitochondrial antibody) came back as negative.
