The advent of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy has rapidly changed the landscape of the management of cancers. However, its use has also been associated with the rise of immunotherapy-related adverse effects (irAEs). There has been an emergence in recent years of sclerosing cholangitis as a mimic of the classical aut...

We present the genetic profile of kidney giant leiomyosarcoma characterized by sequencing of 409 cancer related genes and chromosomal microarray analysis. Renal leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behavior and poor survival prognosis. Most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutation...

Introduction: Morel-Lavallée lesions (MLLs) are a post-traumatic degloving injury which the superficial fascia and skin are separated from the deep fascia through shearing forces. This process leads to the development of a potential space in which blood products and necrotic material can collect, potentially resulting ...

Essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (WM) are two distinct disorders. Studies have reported several cases of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) with concomitant plasma cell dyscrasia. However, there were no reported cases of ET with concomitant WM to date. Here, we present a 55-year-old C...

Dihydropyrimidinase (DHP) is the second enzyme in the catabolic pathway of uracil, thymine, and chemotherapeutic fluoropyrimidine agents such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Thus, DHP deficiency might be associated with 5-FU toxicity during fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy. We performed genetic analyses of the family of a patie...

Objective: The ubiquitin-proteasome system pathway has been recognised as a crucial cellular mechanism for the proper function of photoreceptor cells. In particular, ubiquitin ligases (E3s) recognise and ubiquitinate specific proteins for degradation. The KLHL7 protein (a BTB-Kelch protein) has been found to play an im...
