Right-sided non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis in a chronic hemodialysis patient with Muir-Torre syndrome.

Endocarditis is a recognised complication ofhemodialysis. This is generally only thought of in terms of infective vegetations. We present a case of right-sided NBTE in a patient with an indwelling venous catheter who also had advanced pelvic malignancy. The unusual side of this patient's endocarditic lesions implicates a role for the venous catheter in determining the site of non-bacterial thrombus formation. It is also a reminder that endocarditis is always a risk when using central venous catheters, even after appropriate sterile precautions have been taken.

Oligodendroglioma of the fourth ventricle with intracranial and spinal oligodendrogliomatosis: a case report.

We report a case of oligodendroglioma of the fourth ventricle complicated by disseminated intracranial and spinal oligodendrogliomatosis. This is further evidence that primary oligodendrogliomas arising in close proximity to the cerebrospinal pathway have a predilection for spontaneous dissemination. This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hydrocephalus and myelopathy.

A comparison of fine needle aspiration cytology and tru-cut tissue biopsy in the diagnosis of acute renal allograft rejection.

Simultaneous Tru-cut biopsies and fine needle aspirations (FNAs) performed over a 2-year period on patients following renal transplantation were assessed by independent pathologists. When there was histological evidence of rejection, FNAs also demonstrated cellular features of rejection in 83% of cases, and this increased to 92% with repeated sampling. The presence of monocytes and histiocytes in FNAs correlated with vascular features of rejection on biopsy and failure to reverse the rejection process with steroids.
