Khalil Komlakh, Alireza Manafi-Rasi, Ahmadreza Mirbolook, Mojtaba Baroutkoub, Sohrab Salimi, MirBahador Athari Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:113 (26 December 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_311_21
Guillain-Barré syndrome is an autoimmune disorder presented by ascending paralysis and areflexia. The condition has been reported after many infections, but Guillain-Barré syndrome after spine surgery is rare. We, herein, present a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome after multiple spine surgeries for degenerative lumbar scoliosis. A 60-year-old woman with degenerative scoliosis underwent surgery for the third time and developed Guillain-Barré syndrome 3 weeks after the final operation. The patient received intravenous immune globulin therapy and needed mechanical ventilation and intensive care. She was discharged in good condition after 5 weeks.

Mohammad Mahdi Sarzaeem, Amin Norouz Beigi, Reza Tavakoli Darestani, Farzad Amuzadeh Omrani, Mojtaba Baroutkoub, Alireza Manafi Rasi Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:111 (26 December 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_302_21
In this article, a 75-year-old patient with pain in left knee and restricted range of motion following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is presented. Serological evaluation and aspiration of knee joint suggested a fungal prosthetic joint infection. After the diagnosis was confirmed, treatment started with antifungal drugs, removing prosthesis, exhaustive debridement, and revision of TKA after efficient antifungal treatment. At one-year follow-up, she has a painless motion range of 10 to 90 degrees, and there was no recurrence of infection observed.

Fatemeh Azarkish, Saeedeh Rigiyousefabadi, Roksana Janghorban, Mohammadmehran Aminifard, Shirin Bozorgzadeh, Mahya Zahirnia, Mansooreh Sadat Golmohammadi, Elahe Mirtalaie, Arezoo Pirak, Zahra Atarodi Kashani Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:105 (28 November 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_142_21
The aim of this study was to report a case of the treatment of hydatidiform mole in Coronavirus pandemic in Iranshahr. A 17-year-old primiparous woman with gestational age of 14 weeks presented with unilateral leg swelling and sudden abdominal distension beginning in the night before referring to the health center. In the abdominal examination of the patient by a healthcare provider, the baby's heartbeat was not heard and a mismatch was observed between gestational age and fundal height, which corresponded to approximately 24 weeks of gestation. She was conscious and pale with hematuria and uterine contractions. After inserting two IV lines, the patient immediately underwent monitoring and was visited by a gynecologist. Complete molar pregnancy was diagnosed with an enlarged heterogeneous uterus 180 cm × 90 cm in size and containing 170 mm × 80 mm cysts. The treatment began with vancomycin AMP, hydrocortisone AMP, oseltamivir CAP 75 mg, kaletra CAP 200 mg, and meropenem AMP.

Case Report: Primary esophageal small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma in a child: A case report with review on demography, presentation, treatment, and survival |
|
Azar Naimi, Maryam Riahinezhad Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:95 (31 October 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_123_21
Primary gastrointestinal small cell carcinoma is reported 0.1%–1.0% of malignant gastrointestinal tumors and predominantly in the esophagus. All reported cases are in the adult population. We present a 9-year-old boy with small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the esophagus with mediastinal lymph node involvement, whose chief complaint was progressive dysphagia. He survived for 22 months with chemoradiation but did not have resectional surgery. Although small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the esophagus is extremely rare in children, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any undifferentiated tumor of the esophagus in any age.

Ahmadreza Afshar, Mohammad Javad Shariyate, Ali Tabrizi Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:93 (31 October 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_124_21
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of multiple carpal bones is a very rare condition. This case report presents a patient with concomitant AVN of the lunate and proximal pole of the scaphoid that had led to severe joint space narrowing and degenerative arthritis in the radiocarpal and distal radioulnar joints (DRUJs). She was known to have thalassemia minor hemoglobinopathy. Wrist arthrodesis and distal ulna hemiresection-interposition arthroplasty (Bowers technique) for a DRUJ were offered and performed. The patient was satisfied with the clinical outcomes.

Case Report: Colocolic intussusception because of lipoma in a 44-year-old adult |
|
Reza Eshraghi Samani, Negin Salemi, Alireza Firouzfar Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:83 (27 October 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_32_21
Lipoma is an uncommon mesenchymal tumor of the colon. They are typically symptom free, the large lipomas within the colon are rare, and can cause obstruction, bleeding, or intussusception. Intussusception is comparatively common in pediatrics and in adults, it could be a rare entity. Pathologic lesions are usually found with a major percentage of malignancy. This is a retrospective evaluation of an adult with an intestinal intussusception who underwent oncosurgical treatment. He was diagnosed with surgically proven intussusception. Using ultrasound and colonoscopy as diagnostic studies, colocolic intussusception was discovered. The patient underwent oncosurgical exploration. Intestinal resection with abrupt anastomosis was the procedure of choice for the patient. The etiology was benign lipoma. Adult intussusception should be evaluated in any patient with subacute abdominal discomfort with bearing in mind the high rate of malignancy and a lower rate of benign tumors. intestinal resection without reducing is highly recommended for colonic intussusceptions.

Case Report: Remission of prurigo pigmentosa after breaking ketogenic diet and resuming regular diet |
|
Maryam Daneshpazhooh, Zahra Nikyar, Kambiz Kamyab Hesari, Ehsan Rostami, Shirin Taraz Jamshidi, Fatemeh Mohaghegh Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:70 (30 August 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_138_21 Prurigo pigmentosa (PP) is a rare skin disorder presenting as erythematous urticarial papules on the chest and leaving reticulated pigmentation. Although the etiology of PP is unknown, conditions associated with ketosis such as diabetes mellitus, ketogenic diet (KD), and anorexia nervosa are implicated. Herein, we report a 21-year-old woman who developed PP after adhering to a KD and responded to resuming a regular diet.

Case Report: Masson's tumor of the distal phalanx may present like a felon, report of a rare case |
|
Alireza Manafi Rasi, Shahram Sayyadi, Ali Pourmojarab, Mohamadsadegh Rezayian, Hassan Barati, Reza Tavakoli Darestani Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:32 (29 April 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_170_21
Also known as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia, Masson's tumor is a relatively rare soft-tissue vascular tumor that usually arises in the hand. Felon is an abscess formation in the distal phalanx that usually occurs following a penetrating microtrauma. We present a 30-year-old patient who was referred to our clinic with a palpable mass in the distal phalanx of the index finger after a needle stick injury. At first, the lesion was treated as a felon but finally and after treatment failure, a complete reevaluation revealed the lesion to be a Masson's tumor of the distal phalanx.

Case Report: Spontaneous regression of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in a patient with ataxia–telangiectasia |
|
Roya Sherkat, Noushin Afshar Moghaddam, Nahid Reisi, Marzieh Rezaei Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:31 (29 April 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_169_21
Ataxia–telangiectasia (AT) is a type of primary immunodeficiency characterized by an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance and usually presents with progressive cerebellar ataxia in early life. This complex disease is associated with humoral and cellular immune dysfunction and other features including characteristic oculocutaneous telangiectasia and increased predisposition to cancers, particularly lymphoma and leukemia. An 11-year-old Iranian girl presented with primary immunodeficiency and was diagnosed as having AT according to her clinical manifestations and molecular findings. She had a history of two types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and showed spontaneous regression of her diffuse large B-cell lymphoma without any specific treatment. Gene mutations and dysfunction in patients with AT result in different manifestations including abnormal development of the thymus, immunodeficiency, increased susceptibility to malignancies, and increased radiosensitivity. No standard treatment is available for these patients. The use of immunotherapeutic strategies in patients with primary immune deficiency disease-associated tumors is potentially important.

Case Report: Inflammatory breast cancer in a 53-year-old man |
|
Hassan Moayeri, Payman Rezagholi Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:9 (31 January 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_117_21
Diagnosing breast cancer (BC) in early stages increases the chances of treating this cancer in men. However, because BC is very rare in men, especially inflammatory BC (IBC), it is unlikely that screening men for BC by mammography or other tests would yield promising outcomes. The aim of this study was to report IBC in a 53-year-old man. The case was a 53-year-old man with a history of mass in the left breast and trauma to the same side as well as swelling and severe redness of the breast skin. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and relative responded to medical treatment. He then underwent modified mastectomy surgery and initial chest wall repair followed by radiotherapy. IBC in men is challenging due to its rarity, unknown biological behaviors, and difficulty in early diagnosis. This tumor is usually detected in advanced stages in the elderly and has a poor prognosis.

Case Report: Parsonage-Turner syndrome following COVID-19 infection: A rare and unique case |
|
Behnaz Ansari, Alireza Eishi Oskouei, Firouzeh Moeinzadeh Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:7 (31 January 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_167_21
Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is a rare syndrome of unknown etiology; however, it is believed that an abnormality of immune response after a previous infection may be the cause of the disease. We report neuralgic amyotrophy in a patient with a history of kidney transplantation with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. This literature is reviewed regarding clinical presentation, etiology, treatment, and prognosis of PTS after COVID-19 infection. We should consider PTS as another complication of COVID-19 infection.

Case Report: Schwannoma of the rectosigmoid colon |
|
Maral Mokhtari, Pooya Iranpour, Ardalan Golbahar Haghighi, Leila Ghahramani Adv Biomed Res 2022, 11:5 (31 January 2022) DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_91_21
Schwannoma is a rare tumor in the colon which originates from the peripheral nerve plexus. Most of the cases have been asymptomatic but occasionally present as an obstructive mass. Abdominal investigations are effective in some cases, but usually, they are not informative. A significant number of cases have been detected after their operation by histopathology examination. Immune and histochemical staining shows the spindle cells that have been positive for S-100 and vimentin, but negative for CD34 and smooth muscle actin. If the diagnosis of Schowannoma is confirmed preoperatively, segmental resection is recommended. In this case report, we presented a 58-year-old woman with pelvic mass and normal colonoscopy that mimic extramural large uterine myoma with extraluminal pressure effect on the rectosigmoid.
