Acute onset of constrictive pericarditis due to acute myelomonocytic leukemia: A case and literature review
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3505-24. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe herein present a fatal case of constrictive pericarditis (CP) due to acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML) in a patient who initially complained of an acute onset of chest pain two days after COVID-19 vaccination. An autopsy revealed pericardial infiltration of leukemic cells. CP is rarely associated with leukemia and only 14 cases have been reported in the literature. The etiology of CP in previous reports included leukemic infiltration, graft-versus-host disease, drug-induced, post-radiation, autoimmune, and otherwise unidenti...

Autopsy case of meningoencephalitis induced by nivolumab and ipilimumab in a patient being treated for non-small cell lung cancer
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3457-24. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 75-year-old woman with stage IVB (cT2bN3M1b) lung adenocarcinoma was administered nivolumab, ipilimumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel. Fourteen days after receiving chemotherapy, she experienced an impaired consciousness and a cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed high protein levels and pleocytosis. She was diagnosed with nivolumab- and ipilimumab-induced encephalitis and was treated with corticosteroids which were tapered to 10 mg/day, with no symptom recurrence. She died 18 weeks after the initial presentation, as the cancer w...

X-linked Myotubular Myopathy Manifesting Carrier with Central and Peripheral Nervous System Involvement
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3417-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTX-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a rare genetic disorder caused by X-linked mutations in the MTM1 gene. Although heterozygous females are typically asymptomatic, affected cases have recently been reported. We herein report a case of XLMTM manifesting carrier of the pathogenic c.206dupG mutation in MTM1 with uncommon extramuscular symptoms. She developed gaze nystagmus and cognitive impairment in addition to muscle weakness. Electrophysiological studies and brain magnetic resonance imaging indicated the involvement of the ce...

Intern Med. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3412-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 51-year-old woman with fever was admitted to our hospital. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed thickened colonic walls. Colonoscopy revealed erosion in the ileum and colon. Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) was diagnosed due to a subsequent sore throat and skin rash. Following AOSD treatment, methylprednisolone pulse therapy, followed by prednisolone and cyclosporine, was initiated. Despite achieving a temporary improvement, relapse occurred with fever, abdominal pain, with worsening CT and endoscopic findings. The reappeara...

Blood Pressure Regulation and Hypertension in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Historical Perspective
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2960-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), an underlying disease of secondary hypertension, repeated episodes of asphyxia due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), followed by arousal, lead to various cardiovascular consequences. Using a canine model of OSAS, it was found that a single load of OSA caused an abrupt increase in blood pressure (BP) (Apnea Surge in seconds), while multiple OSA episodes occurring nightly for 1-3 months led to a sustained elevation of BP during both nighttime and daytime. Epidemiological studies on 24-hour...

Tumor Lysis Syndrome in a Patient with BRAF < sup > V600E < /sup > Mutated Colon Cancer Treated with Cetuximab and Encorafenib
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2925-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a fatal complication associated with chemotherapy. We herein report a case of TLS in a 73-year-old woman with metastatic BRAFV600E mutated colon cancer after she received combined treatment with cetuximab and encorafenib. The serum uric acid, urea nitrogen, and creatinine levels were elevated on day four of the first cycle. The fibrin degradation product (FDP) and D-dimer levels were also high. Diuresis and rasburicase were initiated for TLS, and the laboratory data all normalized on day 8. Thus, the ...
