[T-gamma lymphocytosis associated with two solid neoplasms in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis].

T gamma lymphocytosis is an infrequent entity, generally benign and distinct of the spectrum of the T cell chronic lymphoproliferative syndromes, that it not need or need short therapy, with a prolongated survival. T gamma lymphocytosis is expressive in the most of the occasions of a monoclonal lymphocytic proliferation and it is frequently associated to Rheumatoid Arthritis. We present the case of a patient with T gamma lymphocytosis, developed after several years of evolution of Rheumatoid Arthritis and that it was coincident with two solid neoplasms, an infiltrate carcinoma of the larynx and recurrent urothelial carcinoma, without previous chemotherapy. The death in this patients, is generally due a progressive lymphoproliferation and sepsis relationed with the neutropenia.

[Eosinophilic gastroenteritis, apropos a new case].

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon disorder, characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of gut wall, with variable clinical features, depending affected layer of the wall and digestive area, but usually consisting in abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and vomiting. Etiopathogenesis is unknown, with a frequent allergic condition and good response to corticosteroids therapy. Although the existence of eosinophilic gastroenteritis may be suggested by abdominal manifestations, an allergic history with laboratory date and ESR normal, only the antral or intestinal biopsy might to confirm the diagnostic. We report a case of a patient with eosinophilic gastroenteritis and history of bronchial asthma, without evidence of intestinal parasitosis, and a spectacular response to corticosteroids therapy.

Idiopathic granulomatous vasculitis: response to immunosuppressive therapy.

A case of idiopathic granulomatous vasculitis (disseminated visceral giant cell arteritis) is described in an old woman, the seventh case of this rare disorder reported to date. The main organ affected was the liver and, to our knowledge, this is the first patient to be diagnosed while still alive and the only case to have received medical treatment. It is also the first time that muscular involvement has been documented in this condition. Cyclophosphamide treatment resulted in disappearance of symptoms and increase in weight. The patient died of an unrelated condition.

[Amyloid intestinal pseudo-obstruction as initial manifestation of IgA multiple myeloma].

Amyloidosis is a well known complication of Multiple Myeloma. Although involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is common in patients with Amyloid, severe symptoms are no frequent, nevertheless vascular deposits may produce gastrointestinal ischemia and bleeding and perforation. Injured mucosae of the intestinal well may produce malabsorption and the neuromuscular infiltration determine alterations of gastrointestinal motility. Although renal and cardiac disfunction is the most frequently cause of death in these patients, intestinal pseudo-obstruction bears a serious prognosis. We present a case of a patients who was operated because of a presumptive diagnosis of intestinal obstruction, which small bowel was infiltrated with Amyloid and which bone marrow demonstrated multiple myeloma.
