An infant with cutaneous amebiasis of the vulva and amebic liver abscess is described. Epidemiologic investigations and serologic studies were crucial in establishing the diagnosis. The vulvar amebic ulcers responded dramatically to metronidazole therapy. Cutaneous amebiasis is a rare complication of Entamoeba histolytica infection which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of perineovulvar or penile ulcers. Cutaneous amebiasis may also occur on the abdominal wall surrounding a draining hepatic abscess, colostomy site, or laparotomy incision.

e19513 Background: PTLD is a rare complication of organ transplantation, but it can jeopardize the transplantation outcome. Methods: Paul Brousse University Hospital is the largest liver transplantation center in France. We retrospectively analyzed data from all of the patients who experienced PTLD and treated in our hematology/oncology department in the last 10 years. Results: 16 cases of PTLD occurred after various intervals following the liver transplant without correlation with the type of underlying liver disease or immunosuppressive treatment. Overall, the patients had poor general health (ECOG 3-4: 69%), renal and/or hepatic failure (75%), and cytopenia (63%). PTLD were often of high grade (81%), B phenotype (94%), stage IV (75%), with high LDH (88%). The most frequent disease sites were liver (63%), subdiaphragmatic lymphadenopathy (69%), and extranodal (69%). After a reduction in the immunosuppressive treatment, the patients received their initial chemotherapy mostly with a combination of prednisolone, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and rituximab. As soon as their general condition improved, R-CHOP was given as the standard regimen. All patients experienced severe and frequent complications during chemotherapy. Two patients had liver transplant rejection, lethal in one case. Six patients died: 4 of progression or relapse of PTLD, one after 4th liver transplantation, one of leukoencephalitis. Complete remission was obtained in 81% of patients. Ten patients (63%) are alive in complete remission after a median follow up of 6.5 years. Conclusions: Despite the clinical complexity of these patients, PTLD can be treated utilizing common lymphoma chemotherapy with treatment accommodations to poor ECOG, liver and renal dysfunctions.

Buried Bumper Syndrome

Introduction: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is one of the most effective methods of providing long-term enteral nutrition in patients with the impossibility of oral intake. Complications are relatively common. The most common is peristomal wound infection at the site of the insertion and leakage along the cannula. Lesscommon complications are colo-cutaneous fistulas and peritonitis. A very rare complication is liver abscess. Case report: The authors describe a case of a 51-year-old man with a hepatic abscess with inoperable pharyngeal carcinoma with PEG. The patient was admitted to hospital with a developing septic condition due to a liver abscess. The liverabscess resulted from the buried bumper syndrome of the PEG and subsequent complete dislocation of the bumper into the left liver lobe area.. This condition was treated by a surgical review with abscess drainage and the construction of classical gastrostomy. Conclusion: Buried bumper syndrome with its complications, such as a liver abscess is a relatively rare complication, but challenges both the diagnosis and therapy of the syndrome itself. Its management requires a close cooperation between a gastroenterologist and a surgeon. Early recognition and treatment can prevent the progression of the condition to sepsis or a septic shock, which can lead to death.

Upper Gastrointestinal

A 73-year-old woman presented with fever and right flank pain. The admission was complicated by sepsis, myocardial ischaemia and an upper gastrointestinal bleed. A gastroscopy eventually demonstrated a large antral adenocarcinoma. Further imaging showed no evidence of metastasis, but demonstrated a large segment 3 hepatic abscess. At laparotomy, a hepatogastric fistula (HGF) was noted and a synchronous subtotal gastrectomy and left lateral liver sectionectomy was performed. Final histology showed complete resection of the gastric cancer (T4bN2) and confirmed the presence of the fistula. The patient was discharged 10 days later. She passed away 6 months later with local recurrence, hepatic and pulmonary metastasis. We include a review summarising the other causes of HGF in the literature.
