Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is an extremely rare and serious bleeding disorder caused by autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). Approximately, 10% of patients with AHA have an underlying malignancy. We report on a 46-year-old man with AHA and advanced oral cancer who presented with massive bleeding after surgery. Preoperative blood coagulation tests showed no abnormalities. He underwent radical tumor resection followed by reconstruction using a free rectus abdominal musculocutaneous...

Abstract Background Both inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are characterized by dysregulated immune responses. Though previous studies have demonstrated the coexistence of IBD and CRS, investigations of their association using large sets of epidemiologic data are lacking. Methods We examined IBD and the subsequent risk of CRS in a nationwide setting. For January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2010, we identified in the National Health Insurance Dataset of Taiwan...

Abstract Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a rare skin disease usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. EBS is resulting from mutations in keratin 5 (KRT5) and keratin 14 (KRT14) genes encoding the keratins 5 and 14 proteins expressed in the keratinocytes of the basal layer of the epidermis. To date, seven pathogenic mutations have been reported to be responsible for EBS in the Canadian population from the province of Quebec: p.Pro25Leu, p.Leu150Pro, p.Met327Thr, and p.Arg559X in...

Abstract Deep fungal infections rarely involve the oral cavity and most commonly affect immunocompromised patients. Oral deep fungal infections typically manifest as chronic mucosal ulcerations or granular soft tissue overgrowths. Since these lesions are non-specific and can mimic malignancy, it is crucial to obtain a thorough clinical history and an adequate biopsy to render the appropriate diagnosis. We report four new cases of deep fungal infections, diagnosed as histoplasmosis,...

Abstract Primary thyroid lymphoma is a rare malignancy, accounting for 1–2% of extra-nodal lymphomas and 1–5% of thyroid malignancies. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of primary thyroid lymphoma. It usually presents with a rapidly enlarging neck mass with cervical lymphadenopathy. Though rare, early diagnosis of this condition is important because its management is quite different from the treatment of other thyroid neoplasms. It is usually treated by chemotherapy...
