1/258. Bilateral renal masses after local bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy for postcystectomy ureteral cancer.

    bacillus Calmette-Guerin was administered through the ileal conduit of a 63-year-old man with upper tract recurrence of transitional cell carcinoma. Subsequent computed tomography showed bilateral renal masses, which were granulomatous at pathologic examination. The bacilli likely reached the kidneys via proven ileoureteral reflux. patients with reflux may benefit from antituberculous prophylaxis.

2/258. Solitary sarcoid granuloma of the cerebellopontine angle: a case report.

    BACKGROUND: sarcoidosis involves the nervous system about 5% of the time and usually manifests as a granulomatous inflammation of the basal meninges and hypothalamus. Cases which are strictly isolated to the central nervous system occur infrequently; rarely, they may present as an intracranial mass. methods: We present the case of a solitary sarcoid granuloma at the cerebellopontine angle in a 42-year-old female who presented with headache, facial numbness, and hearing loss. RESULTS: A suboccipital craniectomy was performed and the lesion was noted to be grossly adherent to the lower cranial nerves and skull base. The lesion was misdiagnosed as a meningioma with preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative histology, and perhaps additional morbidity resulted. CONCLUSION: We present this case in order to demonstrate the importance of differentiating these dural-based lesions and propose that cases of neurosarcoidosis presenting as a solitary granuloma be treated with surgical debulking and immunosuppression.

3/258. Superficial and deep granulomatous lesions caused by trichophyton violaceum.

    A patient with cutaneous and reticulo-endothelial lesions, lymphadenopathy and osteitis caused by trichophyton violaceum is presented. Two types of skin lesions were found: 1. Erythematous, scaly plaques on the arms, chest and abdomen; 2. areas of diffuse infiltration, granulomatous ulceration, fistulation and destruction of the sternal bone. Long-term treatment with penicillin, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and griseofulvin, gave temporary improvement.

4/258. Double cancers of the lung and esophagus associated with a sarcoid-like reaction in their regional lymph nodes: report of a case.

    A case of double cancers of the lung and esophagus associated with a sarcoid-like reaction in their regional lymph nodes is reported. A 73-year-old man with hemosputum was found to have a mass in his right lower lung field on a chest X-ray. Based on a diagnosis of lung cancer, a right middle and lower lobectomy with a dissection of the lymph nodes was performed. Microscopically, a well developed granulomatous reaction was seen in the dissected mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. Three years after the pulmonary resection, he was admitted to our hospital because of dysphagia. A diagnosis of lower esophageal cancer was made. A lower esophagectomy with a total gastrectomy was performed. A sarcoid-like reaction comprising epithelioid cells and giant cells was seen in the regional lymph nodes. No clinical findings indicative of systemic sarcoidosis were observed. This rare condition may therefore help to improve our overall understanding of the relationship between malignant neoplasms and sarcoid-like reactions in the regional lymph nodes.

5/258. Pulmonary small cell carcinoma associated with sarcoid reactions: report of a case.

    A 45-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for investigation of a nodular shadow in segment 5 of the right lung on a chest computed tomogram. A right middle lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection was performed under a diagnosis of lung cancer, and histologic examination confirmed small cell carcinoma. There were sarcoid reactions in the resected lymph nodes and the lung parenchyma, but no signs of systemic sarcoidosis were evident. Sarcoid reactions are rarely observed in the regional lymph nodes draining malignant tumors. Moreover, while they are most common in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, they extremely rare in small cell carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is only the third report of this unusual entity in the English and Japanese literature.

6/258. cat-scratch disease simulating a malignant process of the chest wall.

    cat-scratch disease is a well-known cause of regional adenopathy in immunocompetent children. Rarely, patients may present with symptoms simulating a neoplastic disease. The case of a 12-year-old boy with fever, swelling of the chest wall and hepatosplenic nodules is reported. Histological analysis of biopsy specimen obtained from the chest wall lesion and the liver revealed granulomatous reaction without malignant cells. Serological investigations were positive for bartonella species. The symptoms and the lesions disappeared after oral antibiotic therapy (ciprofloxacin) was started. The patient remained symptom-free 12 months later. CONCLUSION: The present case emphasizes the wide spectrum of clinical manifestations associated with cat-scratch disease which should be investigated as differential diagnosis of manifestations suggesting a neoplastic disease in children.

7/258. mycobacterium marinum infection from a tropical fish tank. Treatment with trimethoprim and sulphamethoxazole.

    A paronychial granuloma on the left thumb, in a man who kept tanks of tropical fish, was followed by cutaneous nodules on the left upper limb and tender lymph nodes in the left axilla. mycobacterium marinum was isolated from the lesion on the thumb and also from the tank water. Subsidence of the lesions followed administration of trimethoprim and sulphamethoxazole.

8/258. Dermatophytic granuloma caused by microsporum canis in a heart-lung recipient.

    We present a case of dermatophytic granuloma caused by microsporum canis in a heart-lung recipient. This 66-year-old man was seen for erythematous pustules and papules on the forearm. The diagnosis was suspected after histological examination showing an inflammatory infiltrate in the upper dermis with giant cells containing intracytoplasmic fungal elements. Cultures of the skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis identifying M. canis. Our case emphasizes the possibility of deep dermatophytic infections in immunocompromised patients. There are only 4 additional reports of M. canis infection responsible for invasion of the dermis in such patients. The follicle involvement probably explains these dermal lesions due to the progression of the dermatophyte from the hair follicle to the dermis. In our observation topical antifungal therapy alone was unsuccessful and fluconazole seems to be the treatment of choice for these M. canis invasive dermal cutaneous infections.

9/258. Xanthogranulomatous oophoritis--a case report.

    This is a case of a 25 year old unmarried women who presented with intermittent fever and lower abdominal pain. laparotomy revealed a large cystic left sided tuboovarian mass adherent to surrounding structures and containing foul smelling fluid. microscopy showed extensive replacement of the ovary by a chronic inflammatory exudate composed predominantly of foamy macrophages.

10/258. Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with plaques.

    We report on the clinical and histopathologic findings of four patients who had asymptomatic, erythematous to violaceous plaques symmetrically distributed on the upper aspect of the thighs, lateral chest, and in two cases also on the abdomen and flexor surface of the elbows. All of the patients were women; two of them had arthritis, which in one case was associated with an autoimmune disorder, and another had autoimmune thyroiditis. Histopathologically, all cases showed similar changes consisting of an interstitial granulomatous dermatitis involving mostly the lower reticular dermis. histiocytes were the predominant cellular component, arranged interstitially and in small palisades around foci of degenerated collagen bundles in concert with large numbers of neutrophils and eosinophils. Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis can present different clinical expressions, including linear cords, papules, and, as in our cases, plaques. This peculiar histopathologic pattern falls into the spectrum of cutaneous extravascular necrotizing granuloma, a condition that is often associated with systemic autoimmune disease.
