Malakoplakia of the Kidney Extending to the Descending Colon in a Patient with Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency: A Case Report: Soo Jin Jung, Hee Cheol Kang, Jun Jeong Choi; Korean J Fam Med 2011;32(6):367-372. Published online September 28, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4082/kjfm.2011.32.6.367

Abstract

Malakoplakia is an uncommon but distinctive type of chronic granulomatous inflammation that occurs most commonly in the genitourinary tract, especially the urinary bladder. Most patients have associated conditions characterized by some degree of immunosuppression, as seen in solid-organ transplants, autoimmune diseases requiring steroid use, chemotherapy, chronic systemic diseases, alcohol abuse and poorly controlled diabetes. We report an unusual case of the renal malakoplakia that involved the perirenal space, extending to the descending colon in a 65-year-old Korean woman with secondary adrenal insufficiency and diabetes mellitus.

A Case Report of Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Negative Churg-Strauss Syndrome.: Seung Beom Lee, Hee Cheol Kang, Jun Jeong Choi; Korean J Fam Med 2010;31(4):308-313. Published online April 20, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4082/kjfm.2010.31.4.308

Abstract
PDF

Churg-Strauss syndrome is a rare primary vasculitis called allergic granulomatosis angiitis. There is a substantial overlap of symptoms or signs between different vasculitides, so that a diagnosis of any vasculitis can be determined by a combination of clinical symptoms and laboratory tests. We report a case of a 54-year-old woman who had bronchial asthma, eosinophilia, peripheral polyneuropathy, pulmonary infiltrate, maxillary sinusitis, and extravascular eosinophilic infiltration on skin biopsy. So she was diagnosed as having Churg-Strauss syndrome, but she was antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies-negative on immunologic study. She had fever and showed cardiac involvement that was presented as cardiomegaly and pulmonary edema at chest radiography and left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiography. After steroid therapy, general condition and skin manifestation were rapidly improved.

A Case Report of Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura.: Won Yong Kim, Seung Beom Lee, Jun Jeong Choi, Hee Cheol Kang; Korean J Fam Med 2010;31(1):51-55. Published online January 20, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4082/kjfm.2010.31.1.51

Abstract
PDF

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis) is a rare disease characterized by lymphadenitis with fever. It is self-limited within one to four months, and is generally diagnosed by an excisional biopsy of the affected lymph node. Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease has a wide variety of nonspecifi c symptoms and it is sometimes misdiagnosed as malignant lymphoma, lymph node tuberculosis, or systemic lupus erythematosus. Because clinical course and treatment of this disease differ from those of others, Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease must be included in differential diagnosis of enlarged lymph node. In this report, we discribed a case of 24-year-old male patient who visited the clinic complaining of fever, petechiae, and enlarged lymph node. He was diagnosed as Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease and immune thrombocytopenic purpura.
