The gastric lymphomas presented in the form of persistent epigastric pain sometimes lasting for several years, in patients with a mean age of 50.5 years. Gastroscopy revealed recurrent ulcerations in two cases and ulcerated or ulcero-fungating tumours in two cases. The two patients with alpha heavy chain disease, both 21 years of age, presented with chronic diarrhoea. The endoscopic appearance consisted of a pseudopolypoid tumour in one case and a mosaic appearance in the other case. The two salivary gland lymphomas involved the submandibular gland in two patients aged 30 years and 50 years. They presented in the form of nodules 1 and 2 cm in diameter, first detected by the patients two months and four months previously. Histological examination demonstrated the presence of typical lesions of MALT lymphoma with, in particular...

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients treated for digital necrosis of the upper limb in four departments of internal medicine from January 1997 to December 2003. There were 16 women and nine men, mean age 55 years. Eleven patients were smokers. Raynaud's phenomenon was noted in 12 cases. Connective tissue diseases were the most common cause (nine cases), all of them were women. The second cause was atherosclerosis (five cases) and Buerger's disease (five cases). In the other cases, the following diagnoses were found: vasculitis (three cases) and neoplasm (two cases). No cause could be identified in one female smoker. Digital necrosis is a common symptom, revealing a vascular pathology. Its causes are diverse. In women, it first suggests a connective tissue disease whereas in men, a diffuse arteriopathy. The etiological diagnosis strategy shoul...

It is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent subject but may induce neurological syndromes such as encephalitis and myelitis. We reported a case of a 64-years-old woman immunocompetent, with acute proximal upper and lower limb weakness, paresthesias and two episodes of urinary retention. MRI of the spine showed abnormal enhancement from cervical to lumbar spine indicative for myelitis. Diagnosis of CMV associated myelitis was confirmed by a positive CMV serology. Administration of ganciclovir was followed by a partial improvement in five months. Few cases of CMV acute myelitis in immunocompetent patients have been reported in the literature. The pathogenesis is not well known, however, immune-mediated central nervous system damage may be attributed to the pathogenesis of the disease. Early diagnosis and treatment improves the prognosis.

From the review of the literature, they propose a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for the management of ectopic localisation of pheochromocytoma.

One female patient presented with breast neoplasm the other with Wegener's granulomatosis, the male patient with lymphoma. All patients were taking immunosuppressive treatment at the time of infection. Persistent cough, dyspnea, and severe hypoxemia were the most characteristic clinical signs. All patients presented with lymphopenia (average CD4-cell count=275/mm3), two with hypoalbuminemia, and one with renal failure. In all cases, the microscopic analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage was used to establish the diagnosis. All patients were treated with trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole and a tapering dose of corticosteroids. Outcome was favorable for 1 patient, 1 was transferred to the intensive care unit for acute respiratory failure, and 1 died.

An elevated muscle enzyme level is often reported in the legionnaire's disease. We report the case of a 39-year-old male, with no previous medical history, admitted for renal failure (creatininemia=977 μmol/l) secondary to rhabdomyolysis and a twelve-day history of infectious syndrome with pneumonia in the left base. Legionella pneumophila was considered
