Abstract We report a case of gallbladder paraganglioma that was discovered during nonrelated surgery. Retrospective study disclosed a family history of pheochromocytoma. The occurrence of gallbladder paraganglioma in the presence of family history of endocrine neoplasia supports that gallbladder paraganglioma may indeed occur as a part of the multiple endocrine neoplasm syndrome. Gallbladder paraganglioma is a rare tumor, and so far to our knowledge only 6 cases have been reported in the literature. Three cases were discovered incidentally during cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis, 2 presented with right upper quadrant pain, and 1 manifested with gastrointestinal bleeding. We herein review all reported cases of paraganglioma of gallbladder and biliary system.

Although acne is usually recognized as an adolescent skin disorder, the prevalence of adults with acne is increasing. The clinical and epidemiological data of acne were evaluated with a view to establishing possible contributing etiological factors and observing whether clinical features differ from adolescent acne. Division of Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic Dr. M. Djamil hospital padang during January 2016 until December 2018.Retrospective study performed in Medical Cosmetic Division of Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic Dr. M. Djamil hospital padang during January 2016 until December 2018. Data was taken from medical records. Out of 224 patients included in the study 54.01% were women and 45.98 % were men. Majority of the patients had comedonal acne (45.53 %), whereas nodulocystic was the least common (13.39%). Most common predominant site of involvement was cheek (44.20 %), followed by chin (25.45 %), and mandibular area (14.58 %). Family history of acne was present in 57.70 %. Scarring was observed in a 39.2 %. Acne is predominant in women, with the most commonly involved of the cheeks, with the most common type was comedones type.

History Of

Membranous nephropathy (MN) with tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) is an established manifestation of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD). A pathological feature aiming to distinguish between primary and secondary MN is the presence or absence of glomerular staining for phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), respectively. Isolated MN without TIN has been rarely reported in the context of IgG4-RD. This case report describes a patient with a history of MN successfully treated with steroids and cyclophosphamide, who, 3 years later, presented with unexplained exacerbation of diabetes mellitus due to IgG4-related autoimmune pancreatitis. Pancreatitis was treated, and diabetes improved after treatment with steroids. Based on the presence of isolated IgG4 glomerular capillary deposits along with negative staining for PLA2R and the metachronous appearance of autoimmune pancreatitis, MN was retrospectively classified as secondary to IgG4-RD. Isolated IgG4-positive/PLA2R-negative MN without TIN can be a prodrome of IgG4-RD, reminiscent of MN secondary to neoplasms.

Artery Disease

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease characteristically involves multiple organs including the heart and coronary arteries. Immunoglobulin G4-related coronary artery disease is thought to be due to periarteritis and histopathologically is characterized by marked thickening of the adventitia and periarterial fat with infiltration of immunoglobulin G4-positive plasma cells. Although comprehensive diagnostic criteria require a biopsy for a definite or probable diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-related disease, obtaining a coronary artery biopsy is difficult and risky. However, imaging findings including coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound might be useful tools to establish a diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-related coronary artery disease. We report a case of a 63-year-old man with a history of immunoglobulin G4-related disease who presented with exertional chest pain. We found unique angiographic and intravascular ultrasound features of immunoglobulin G4-related coronary artery disease that distinguished it from those of arteriosclerotic coronary artery disease and suggest that coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound might be useful tools in the diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-related coronary artery disease.

453 Background: The occurrence of multifocal gastric carcinoma (MGC) is growing in China, while relevant study remains limited. This study aimed to collect more information of MGC for further research. Methods: Patients with MGC treated at China National Cancer Center from January 2010 to December 2017 were enrolled in this retrospective study. A 6-month interval was used to separate synchronous and metachronous foci. Results: 103 patients were included. 88 (85.4%) were males. 96 (93.2%) patients had two foci and 7 (6.8%) had three or more foci, contributing a total of 216 tumor foci. 185 (85.6%) foci were adenocarcinoma, 18 (8.3%) were intraepithelial neoplasia, 2 (0.9%) were lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma and 1 (0.5%) was small cell carcinoma. Intestinal, diffuse, and mixed type accounted for 49.7%, 14.6% and 11.4% respectively, with 24.3% unknown.In 96 patients with 2 foci, 56 (58.3%) patients had synchronous diseases, and 40 (41.7%) had metachronous diseases. The median age at the diagnosis of first tumor was 62 (55-71) years. The median diagnosis interval of metachronous tumor foci was 41.4 (23.5-88.3) months. The locations and sizes of foci are shown in Table. In synchronous cases, 6 foci of accessory tumor were less than 1cm including one being 0.4 cm. In metachronous cases, 4 foci of second tumor were less than 1 cm. 51 (49.5%) patients were current smokers or ex-smokers, and 44 (42.7%) were regular alcohol consumers. 26 (25.2%) patients had a first-relative family history, including 14 (13.6%) having a family history of gastrointestinal carcinoma. Conclusions: The second gastric tumor should be thoroughly detected to avoid missed diagnosis, since the accessory tumor might be rather small. Further genetic research is warranted to explore the potential pathogenesis of MGC. [Table: see text]

Retrospective Questionnaire

A retrospective questionnaire to determine the prevalence of febrile seizures was given to adolescents (16- and 17-year-olds) in the final 2 years of secondary school at the five schools in Alexandroupolis, Greece. Parents were interviewed, and clinical and electroencephalographic examinations were performed in all adolescents with a history of febrile seizures. Of 1708 adolescents, 56 (3.3%) had experienced at least one febrile seizure. Of these, 44 (78.6%) were simple and 12 (21.4%) were complex febrile seizures. Recurrent seizures occurred in 22 cases (39.3%), and the mean age at onset was 25.1 months. There was a positive first-degree family history in eight cases (14.3%) and this increased to 27.3% in cases with recurrent seizures. Two of the adolescents (3.6%) had had one unprovoked seizure before the age of 3 years, and another two children developed epilepsy. Epileptiform electroencephalogram discharges were observed in only one case (1.8%) with generalized tonic-clonic epilepsy.

Objective:To determine the demographic and clinical data of Thai multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.Methods:A retrospective study of 72 patients attending the MS clinic at Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand between January 1997 and June 2004.Results:Fifty-eight patients (81%) were classified as clinically definite MS, 5 (7%) as Devic's syndrome, and 9 (13%) as possible MS. There were 62 females (86%) and 10 males (14%). Age at onset was 33 ± 12 years with a mean relapse rate of 1.2 ± 1.0 attacks per annum. None had a family history of MS. Visual impairment (53%) was the most common manifestation. Only 16% had classic (western) form of MS. Positive oligoclonal bands were found in 21%, visual evoked potentials with a typical delayed latency in 28%. MRI brain lesions compatible with McDonald's criteria were seen in only 24%, and spinal MRI brain longer than 2 vertebral bodies in 62%. The mean Kurtzke's Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) was 3.0.Conclusion:Thai MS patients had much more female occurrence, no family history, common optico-spinal form, long spinal MRI lesions and low positive CSF oligoclonal bands.
