Review of \u3cem\u3eOrthochiroides\u3c/em\u3e Kovařík, 1998 with description of a new species (Scorpiones: Buthidae)
Get PDFThe genus Orthochiroides Kovařík, 1998 is reanalyzed. Revised diagnoses and new illustrations for the genus and all four of its species are presented. A new species, O. somalilandus sp. n. from Somaliland is described and illustrated. Phylogenetic relationships of the genus with several other similar genera of small buthids are inferred from a parsimony analysis of 43 discrete morphological characters. The recent synonymy of Orthochiroides with Orthochirus is refuted and the genus is revalidated
Adult Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis with Osseous Involvement: understanding this rare mimic of malignancy
Get PDFLangerhans cells are dendritic cells that form the antigenic barrier of the human body. They occur in nearly any tissue but are most prevalent in the skin, submucosa of the bronchial tree, and other mucosae. Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) develops when these cells damage the tissues in which they reside through a combination of inflammatory and monoclonal stimulation. The pulmonary variant of LCH involves the lung parenchyma and creates a wide variety of disturbances: pulmonary hypertension and both obstructive and restrictive lung disease. Osseous involvement, in addition to the pulmonary variant, presents with pulmonary masses and lytic bone lesions, which sparks suspicion for malignancy. Early recognition of this rare pathology is important as early treatment is clinically beneficial. The following explores a case of adult Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis with osseous involvement

A Rare Metastatic Primary Rectal Melanoma in a Geriatric Male
Get PDFPrimary rectal melanoma (PRM) is an uncommon malignancy whose etiology remains unknown. Most patients present with rectal bleeding. Distant metastasis is commonly seen in the lung and liver. The incidence rates for locoregional lymph node metastases on initial presentation are almost 60%. Histology and immunochemistry are useful and are the gold standard for diagnosis. The prognosis is very poor due to the late presentation of patients. Optimum surgical treatment remains controversial. Abdominoperineal resection was considered traditionally but over time, has been found to have no survival benefit. Current literature and studies, therefore, recommend wide local excision. The beneficial effects of chemotherapy versus radiotherapy use are still debatable. Herein, we discuss a case of a 72-year-old Caucasian male with rectal bleeding found to have metastasized PRM
