Gastric pseudolipomatosis, usual or unusual? Re-evaluation of 909 endoscopic gastric biopsies.

Microvesicular pneumatosis intestinalis, also called "pseudolipomatosis" for resembling fatty infiltration, is characterized by the presence of small gas voids in the gastrointestinal wall, especially in mucosa. These voids are not lined with epithelia. There are few reported cases about colon, duodenum and skin. Because there is only one case report about pseudolipomatosis in the stomach, we re-evaluated 909 endoscopic biopsies taken from gastric corpus to check the presence of pseudolipomatosis. We determined pseudolipomatosis foci in 3 percent (n=27) of biopsies. In two cases there were pseudolipomatosis foci in endoscopic biopsies having otherwise normal histologic findings, while there were pseudolipomatosis foci in endoscopic biopsies of 25 patients with gastritis. H pylori was found in 85% of biopsies having pseudolipomatosis foci. In this study, we presented some histopathologic characteristics of pseudolipomatosis seen in gastric mucosa.

Radiologic case study. Macrodystrophia lipomatosa.

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare form of gigantism involving an extremity consisting of predominately fibroadipose tissue. Radiographically, it appears as hypertrophy of soft tissues and bone. CT and MR scanning delineate the tissues involved and are virtually diagnostic, demonstrating the predominantly adipose component as well as the overgrowth of the bones, nerves, and vessels also involved.

Focal dermal hypoplasia: a case report and review of literature.

A 14 year old girl was seen in the clinic with a huge vulvar wart, and warts on both tonsils. She also had poikiloderma. She had bony abnormalities, which included lobster claw abnormality of the right foot, a right cervical rib, and the right clavicle was lower than the left. There were fine parallel vertical radio-opaque lines in the distal femoral tibial metaphyses bilaterally (osteopathia striata). A diagnosis of Focal dermal hypoplasia was made. The huge vulvar wart and the warts on the tonsils were excised. She recovered promptly and she was discharged home.

Extra-adrenal myelolipoma in the renal hilum: a case report and review of the literature.

Myelolipoma most commonly arises in the adrenal gland. Extra-adrenal myelolipomas are rare; to our knowledge, approximately 37 previous cases have been reported. We report a myelolipoma presenting as a localized mass in perirenal adipose tissue juxtaposed to the renal hilum in a 65-year-old Caucasian man who presented with back pain, weight loss, hematuria, and flank pain. The most likely diagnostic considerations were pyelonephritis or primary renal malignancy. However, histology revealed mainly mature adipose tissue along with multiple scattered islands of hematopoietic precursor cells. Representation of all the three hematopoietic cell lineages (granulocytic, erythroid, and megakaryocytic) was present. Perirenal masses such as morphologically identified myelolipomas are rarely, if ever, considered in differential diagnosis. The purpose of this report is to elicit consideration of extra-adrenal myelolipoma when formulating a differential diagnosis for perirenal and retroperitoneal tumors. Although primary and secondary malignant retroperitoneal tumors are much more common and aggressive neoplasms, establishing the correct diagnosis has important therapeutic and prognostic implications.

A neglected case of macrodystrophia lipomatosa of the foot in an elderly man.

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare disorder characterized by three-dimensional enlargement of one or more fingers or toes with predominantly fibroadipose tissue. Radiographically, it appears as hypertrophy of soft tissues and bones. The pathologic findings are infiltration and hypertrophy of adipose tissue in subcutaneous tissue, nerve sheaths, and periosteum. Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is usually diagnosed during childhood. The case presented here involves the most elderly patient with the condition ever reported, to our knowledge. As such, it may advance current knowledge of macrodystrophia lipomatosa. Special emphasis is given to the unique "bridge" formation seen radiographically in this case.

Multicentric intramuscular lipomatosis/fibromatosis in free-flying white-fronted and Canada geese.

Over a period of 9 yr, seven white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons) and one Canada goose (Branta canadensis) with multiple intramuscular mesenchymal tumors were encountered in Saskatchewan (Canada) and one similarly affected Canada goose was seen on Prince Edward Island (Canada). The tumors in these birds consisted either of adipose tissue, fibroblastic tissue, or a mixture of both types of tissues. The high prevalence of this condition in white-fronted geese suggested a genetic influence.

["Buffalo hump" related to indinavir treatment].

BACKGROUND: Since 1997, new side effects like lipodystrophia have been described in HIV-1-infected patients treated with protease inhibitors. The evolution is not specified in the most reported cases. CASE REPORT: A 44-year-old man treated for HIV 1 infection developed a Buffalo hump 12 months after initiating a new treatment including indinavir-protease inhibitor (Crixivan). Ten months later, we observe neither other fat accumulation nor fat loss and significant metabolic disorders. DISCUSSION: Many publications emphasized the relationship that would exist between protease inhibitors therapy and the occurrence of lipodystrophia. Clinical features of this syndrome appear like an accumulation of fatty tissue anywhere on the trunk, or a fat loss on the limbs, the buttocks and the face. It is sometimes associated with metabolic disorders. The pathogenesis of these lipodystrophia is unclear. Larger studies have to be led to highlight the incidence of these lipodystrophia and their subsequent effects on the HIV-1 infection.
