First Case

Pulmonary angiosarcoma is a rare clinical entity with a poor prognosis and no established therapeutic strategies. We present the first case to our knowledge of metastatic pulmonary angiosarcoma, treated with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy, and have an excellent response. Until now, patient has been treated with immunotherapy for 1 year, and his disease is stable and well-tolerated.

Acanthamoeba keratitis is predominantly caused by genotype T4. We report a case of severe keratitis caused by Acanthamoeba in a 39-year-old man who had prior accidental exposure to a corrosive chemical. The patient developed central full thickness ring infiltration and epithelial defect with hypopyon that required keratoplasty. The acanthamoebae isolated from the patient exhibited thermotolerance phenotype with the capability to grow well at ambient temperature and at 42°C. Analysis of a near complete 18S rRNA gene of this isolate revealed a distinct sequence that can be unequivocally assigned to genotype T12, a rare genotype incriminated in corneal infections.

Purpose: This case report describes a unique case of a young patient with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a unilateral Coats-like response, and X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS). Methods: A 9-year-old boy with a history of regressed ROP presented with a unilateral Coats-like response, subretinal exudation, and XLRS. Examination and imaging findings demonstrated a highly unique combination of bilateral retinoschisis and a dramatic unilateral Coats-like response with a large schisis cavity. Results: Treatment with laser photocoagulation and anti-VEGF therapy led to resolution of the subretinal exudative changes. Conclusions: This is the first published description to our knowledge of a patient with a Coats-like response, XLRS, and a history of regressed ROP with resolution after treatment.
