  • vogt koyanagi harada syndrome in a 4 year old child
    American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1995
    Co-Authors: Emmett T Cunningham, Robert Demetrius, Ilona J Frieden, Helen Emery, Alexander R Irvine, William V Good
    Abstract:

    Purpose We studied a case of severe bilateral Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome in a 4-year-old boy. Methods We evaluated the patient's clinical course. Results The patient had severe bilateral, nongranulomatous uveitis and mild uveitic glaucoma. Initial examination and laboratory evaluation failed to provide a diagnosis. The patient subsequently developed areas of vitiligo, alopecia, and Poliosis, suggesting the diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome. This diagnosis was confirmed by the eventual development of bilateral neurosensory retinal detachments. Vision was lost despite aggressive therapy with corticosteroids and chlorambucil. Conclusion Although uncommon, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada may affect young children, and may be severe.

  • Peliosis Hepatis Simulating Metastatic Liver Disease on FDG PET/CT.
    Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2018
    Co-Authors: Daniel Levin, Nir Hod, Reut Anconina, Dina Ezroh Kazap, Ruthy Shaco-levy, Sophie Lantsberg
    Abstract:

    A 20-year-old man with gastrointestinal symptoms and weight loss underwent FDG PET/CT, which revealed multiple hypermetabolic hepatic lesions concerning for metastatic liver disease. The outcome of liver biopsy was consistent with the diagnosis of peliosis hepatis which is a rare benign disease characterized by multiple blood-filled cystic spaces in the hepatic parenchyma. The findings of peliosis on FDG PET/CT are not well reported in the literature. These interesting images emphasize the importance of including peliosis hepatis in the differential diagnosis of multiple hypermetabolic hepatic lesions on FDG PET/CT, which could simulate malignancy.

  • peliosis hepatis shows isometabolism on 18 f fdg pet ct two case reports
    Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2014
    Co-Authors: Minjung Seo, Suk Hyun Lee, Sangwon Han, Changhwan Sung, Da Hye Son, Jong Jin Lee
    Abstract:

    Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare benign disease that is characterized by multiple blood-filled cystic spaces in the hepatic parenchyma. It is also characterized by a range of radiologic findings that might mimic various diseases, including metastatic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. The findings of PH on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) are not well reported. We here report two cases of biopsy-proven PH. Both patients had been treated for cancer (advanced gastric carcinoma and rectal adenocarcinoma), and follow-up CT of both cases revealed hepatic lesions with the possibility of metastasis. Examination of 18F-FDG PET/CT images suggested that the lesions were isometabolic, having metabolism similar to that of adjacent hepatic parenchyma. The outcomes of hepatic core-needle biopsies were consistent with peliosis hepatis.

  • atraumatic rupture of the spleen associated with hemophagocytic syndrome and isolated splenic peliosis case report
    Apmis, 2005
    Co-Authors: Yoram Etzion, Daniel Benharroch, Marcello Saidel, Klaris Riesenberg, Jacob Gilad, Francisc Schlaeffer
    Abstract:

    Atraumatic rupture of the spleen is an uncommon condition that may be associated with various etiologies. The hemophagocytic syndrome (HS) and isolated splenic peliosis are two rare conditions, each of which has previously been described in association with splenic rupture. We describe a unique case of atraumatic splenic rupture in which concurrent HS and splenic peliosis were diagnosed following splenectomy. Given that both these rare conditions have probably caused the splenic rupture, a possible association between these entities is discussed.
