In this case report, we discuss a peculiar case of ischemic priapism in a 36-year-old patient with asymptomatic COVID-19 and no other plausible causes of thrombophilia and/or alternative causes of priapism, as well as discussing possible explanations for such remarkable findings and comparing them to analogous cases recorded in literature. The patient was unsuccessfully treated via cavernous blood aspiration and required several shunting procedures, with no further recurrences and negative testing for pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, and other causes of thrombophilia.Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is a rare, extremely aggressive form of renal cancer. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibody, and anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) antibody were approved for use against metastatic renal cell carcinoma. We herein described two cases of metastatic renal collecting duct carcinoma treated with a combination immunotherapy consisting of nivolumab and ipilimumab. In the first case, which included a bone metastasis, the best response achieved was stable disease (SD) for one year. In the second case, which was accompanied by a lung metastasis, the best response achieved was a partial response. The outcome of these cases suggested that the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab is effective against renal collecting duct carcinoma.Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and remains a health problem, especially in developing countries. Abdominal location represents 5 to 10% of all locations. The clinical symptoms are not very specific, and the discovery of an abdominal mass in a context of deterioration of general state may wrongly lead to the diagnosis of a tumor. Radiological explorations remain sensitive in the detection of abdominal masses but they cannot prejudge their etiology. Surgical exploration is sometimes the only recourse either for diagnostic purposes or complications, and the diagnosis can only be confirmed by bacteriological and histological examinations of the surgical specimen. We report the case of abdominopelvic mass and lymph nodes revealing tuberculosis.Pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma (PACC) is an exceedingly rare tumor of low-grade malignancy. Diagnosis is often late, so the tumoral process may be huge at presentation. Surgical resection could be challenging, and the recurrence rate would be greater. We report, hereby, a case of proximal PACC with involvement of the carina in a young male adult, without respiratory distress. Surgical resection was performed through a left pneumonectomy followed by a complex trachea-bronchoplastic procedure. During the operative time, the assisted ventilatory mode was carefully chosen. No adjuvant treatment was needed. Our patient is still under clinicoradiological surveillance and remains disease-free.The diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) when presenting with atypical features such as stroke is very challenging. Only 0.17% of first-ever strokes are caused by GCA, a life-threatening condition when left untreated. Very few cases have been reported on giant cell arteritis leading to acute stroke due to vertebral artery dissection. We present a case of a 76-year-old female with no medical history who presented with sudden onset right visual loss and left hemiparesis. She had been initially treated for acute stroke and upon further workup was found to have left vertebral artery dissection. She had erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of 71 mm/h, and bilateral temporal artery biopsy was consistent with giant cell arteritis. Patient received high doses of methylprednisolone which resolved her hemiparesis, but her vision loss did not improve. Stroke in the presence of significant involvement of vertebral arteries should raise suspicion of GCA especially if classic symptoms preceded stroke event. High clinical suspicion is required to prevent delay in diagnosis and treatment.The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is usually less severe and less prevalent in the pediatric population. Children with preexisting conditions such as neuromuscular impairments and chronic lung disease are more susceptible to COVID-19 and may incur several complications with a poor outcome. We present a case report of a 3-year-old-female with generalized hypotonia and respiratory failure due to spinal muscular atrophy who tested positive for COVID-19 and developed multisystem inflammatory syndrome that was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and tocilizumab and subsequently died. The report highlights the importance of close surveillance, the use of protective measures during hospital visits, early testing, and diagnosis of COVID-19 in children with neurological disorders.A 4-month-old male infant diagnosed with Pentalogy of Cantrell presented to the cardiac catheterization laboratory with a large pericardial effusion. During an urgent pericardial drain placement, the patient, whose prior hemodynamics and clinical findings had suggested a noncritical cardiac lesion, had a profound desaturation, with echocardiography suggesting minimal or no flow across the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). The position of the drainage catheter on fluoroscopy and echocardiography suggested that the spell was being caused by obstruction of the main pulmonary artery (MPA) by the pericardial drain. After partially withdrawing the drain to reposition it, there was immediate resolution of the hypoxemia, and echocardiography once again showed adequate flow across the outflow tract.Retroperitoneal metastasis of seminoma often occurs in the higher stage through lymph nodes. Generally, seminoma expresses specific germ cell markers while being negative for carcinoma markers. We present a unique case of cytokeratin positive seminoma initially presented as retroperitoneal metastasis. The diagnosis was made based on the histological features and immunohistochemical stains. Testicular ultrasound confirmed the primary tumor in the patient's left testicle. Pathologists should always be aware of germ cell tumors when encountering a metastasis of an unknown primary.
Purely chondral injuries of the knee are relatively rare, and no consensus exists on the appropriate treatment in such cases. We describe two adolescent patients with chondral injury of the knee who were successfully treated by osteochondral peg fixation.
. In case 1, a 14-year-old boy presented with complaints of right knee pain after landing on his leg while playing basketball. Radiography and computerized tomography revealed no abnormalities. However, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a chondral defect in his lateral femoral condyle and a loose chondral fragment measuring 6.5 cm
. In case 2, a 12-year-old boy presented with complaints of left knee pain after a rotational injury while playing baseball. Similar to case 1, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a chondral defect in his lateral femoral condyle and a loose chondral fragment measuring 3.0 cm
.
. The two patients were treated by surgical fixation using osteochondral pegs, which were harvested from the femoral condyle. After a year, postoperative computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed union of the chondral fragment with the osteochondral pegs and surrounding tissue. In both cases, the Lysholm score was 100 points at the final follow-up more than 2 years after surgery.

The findings reported herein suggest that osteochondral peg fixation is a feasible treatment option for chondral injury of the knee, with satisfactory outcomes.

Synovial cysts usually present in the more mobile lumbar and cervical parts of the spine; however, they may also arise in the thoracic spine. We present a case of a 59-year-old male with a left upper thoracic synovial cyst at T2-3 causing disabling, progressive myelopathy, and an incomplete spinal cord injury syndrome with inability to ambulate. An urgent decompressive laminectomy with bilateral facetectomies, cyst excision, and posterior fusion was performed. Subsequently, the patient recovered full function. Synovial cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of progressive thoracic myelopathy. This is only the sixth reported case of a synovial cyst of this kind occurring between the levels of T1 and T7. Urgent surgical decompression is the recommended treatment.
To describe retinal findings in a patient with mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) that underwent an early treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).
. We describe a case of a 12-year-old female with a biochemical and genetic diagnosis of MPS I. She underwent HSCT and ERT on the first year of life. The visual acuity was 5/10 in both eyes and she had bilateral grade 2 corneal haze. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) revealed thickening of the external limiting membrane (ELM) at the fovea. In the parafoveal and perifoveal regions, SD-OCT displayed a loss of the interdigitation, ellipsoid, and myoid zones and of the ELM accompanied by progressive thinning of the outer nuclear layer. Fundus infrared imaging revealed a hyperreflective ring centred on the fovea and hyporeflective areas in temporal parafoveal regions in both eyes. see more
OCT imaging revealed two hyperreflective rings on the outer retinal level.

This patient developed macular changes with foveal deposition of hyperreflective material and parafoveal thinning, despite early systemic treatment. Systemic therapies can provide an increase in life expectancy and stabilize visual acuity and corneal clouding, although their effect on retinal degeneration is unknown.

Although he was asymptomatic, ocular examination revealed a relatively well-circumscribed whitish retinal lesion measuring 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 mm located along the inferotemporal vascular arcade in the right eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed a hyperreflective dome-shaped lesion occupying the inner retinal layers with few hyperreflective dots overlying the retina in the posterior vitreous consistent with tumor cells. Fluorescein angiography revealed early hyperfluorescence and late staining without leakage at the lesion site. A diagnosis of presumed retinal metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma was made. At 2 months follow-up after completion of chemotherapy, the retinal lesion was found to have regressed completely leaving minor irregularities in the inner retinal layers on OCT. To date, there have been only 41 cases of carcinoma metastasis to the retina reported in the literature including the current case.
