Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital diverticulum. Mostly it is asymptomatic. In children the commonest complication is lower GI bleeding. High index of suspicion is required for its diagnosis. Technetium-99m pertechnetate scan is useful to detect ectopic gastric mucosa. Surgical treatment of symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum is diverticulectomy or ileal resection.
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) constitute a group of hematologic clonal diseases that affect one or more myeloid lineages with abnormal proliferation. It is rare disease entity and incidence is about 1.15 to 4.99/100 000 person-years among hematological neoplasms for all subtypes of MPNs combined. Patients who present with hepatosplenomegaly, hyperleukocytosis with monocytosis should have routine tests along with bone marrow morphology possibly biopsy, quantiferon TB Gold in tube test, Dengue fever IgM, IgG, NS-1 antigen, cytogenetics t(9;22), BCR cABL fusion gene, JAK-2 V617F, MPL mutations, CALR gene test done along with karyotyping and flowcytometry to evaluate and establish diagnosis towards management.
Myeloid Sarcoma (MS) is a tumour mass of myeloblasts or immature myeloid cells in an extra-medullary site. Isolated MS is a red disease found only seen in case reports. Here, we present the case of a 25years old man with bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy who was diagnosed as MS on the basis of lymph node biopsy and immunohistochemistry. There is no definite consensus on management of MS and needs prospective trials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
