Invasive pituitary adenoma coexisting with infiltrating temporal lobe glioma.

We have reported the case of a young man who had the uncommon coexistence of two relatively common intracranial tumors--a pituitary adenoma and a temporal lobe glioma. The pituitary adenoma invaded nerve bundles in the left cavernous sinus, but did not extend into the left temporal lobe, where an anatomically separate oligoastrocytoma was diagnosed at autopsy. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging may assist in the diagnosis of this and similar uncommon conditions.

Disseminated strongyloidiasis in AIDS and non-AIDS immunocompromised hosts: diagnosis by sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage.

In conclusion, disseminated strongyloidiasis is a fatal disease that commonly affects the lungs. The disease should be suspected in an immunocompromised host who came from an area endemic for S stercoralis even years before the onset of symptoms or in patients with unexplained gram-negative bacteremia or meningitis. Treatment should be started promptly and should be maintained for a long time.
