Intussusception due to lymphoma

Journal of Pediatric Surgery
S H EinR M Filler

Abstract

Over 1,200 infants and children with an intussusception were treated at our hospital over the last 40 years and from this group, only 11 were found to have a lymphoma as a leading point for the intussusception. This number represents 17% of the 65 pathologic lesions that have caused an intussusception. Three children were under 41/2 years of age. All the children except two were chronically ill with pain for at least 1 week and usually for several months; weight loss and an abdominal mass in many instances provided the suspicion of a possible malignancy. When barium studies were done, there was almost always an ileocolic intussusception present with some obstruction. Reduction of the intussusception was accomplished with hydrostatic barium enema in 10 of the 11 patients; the one reduction, however, had a residual filling defect. Surgery confirmed the above findings and a resection of the leading point lymphoma was carried out in all of the children. In spite of all forms of treatment, death followed in all but three, usually within several months. One of these three survivors was treated with radiotherapy and steroids (after surgical excision) and is alive after 30 years; the second was also given chemotherapy and is alive and ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
