Extramedullary Hematopoiesis Presented as Cytopenia and Massive Paraspinal Masses Leading to Cord Compression in a Patient with Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin
BACKGROUND: Extramedullary hematopoeisis (EMH) can occur in various physiological and pathologic states. The spleen is the most common site of EMH.
CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case with hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin with extramedullary hematopoiesis presented as cord compression and cytopenia secondary to multi-paraspinal masses.
CONCLUSION: Treatment can be a challenge. Relapse is a possibility
Down-Regulation of Fructose-1, 6-Bisphosphatase-1 (FBP1) in High Grade Urothelial Carcinoma (UC); as a New Diagnostic Marker to Differentiate Nested Variants of Urothelial Carcinoma from Benign Entities
Gastrointestinal Tuberculosis Presenting as Malnutrition and Distal Colonic Bowel Obstruction
Gastrointestinal (GI) tuberculosis (TB) is rare and can occur in the context of active pulmonary disease or as a primary infection with no pulmonary symptoms.

Although the ileocecal region is the most commonly affected site, tuberculous enteritis can involve any aspect of the GI tract. To demonstrate the importance of maintaining a high clinical suspicion for the disease, we present a case of GI TB presenting as severe malnutrition and segmental colitis of the left colon
