Renal failure as first manifestation of familial sarcoidosis.
only a small group of patients willing to consent to two prolonged right heart catheterisation procedures 6 months apart. Nevertheless, this group was relatively homogeneous, with NYHA class III disease and high P̄pa at presentation. Our results cannot be generalised, however, to other related PAH disease states, such as congenital heart disease or chronic pulmonary thromboembolism. Thirdly, our...
متن کاملDyspnea as the First Manifestation of Silent Renal Cell Carcinoma
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for only 3% of adult malignancies, and the lung is the most common site of metastasis of this tumor, which may be accompanied by pleural metastasis. However, solitary pleural involvement is very rare and its presentation with dyspnea as the first manifestation of RCC is extremely rare.We describe a 39-year-old male with episodes of dyspnea dating back 6...
متن کاملPneumothorax as a first manifestation of sarcoidosis.
Pneumothorax is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis, occurring usually late in the course of the disease. We report five cases of pneumothorax as a presenting manifestation of sarcoidosis. In two patients, thoracotomy showed extensive pleural infiltration by noncaseating granulomas. High-resolution CT scans showed cavitated subpleural nodules and subpleural bullae in one case. These findings su...
متن کاملHeart failure as the first manifestation of renal cell carcinoma
We report the rare case of a patient with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who initially presented to the hospital with symptoms of cardiac failure. Preoperative cardiac studies did not reveal any underlying ischemia. After resection of a large 14-cm left renal tumor, cardiac function was noted to improve dramatically. We discuss this case of concomitant RCC and nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
متن کاملAcute renal failure as the first extrapulmonary presentation of sarcoidosis.
To the Editor We read with interest the article by Samuraki et al in a recent issue of the Journal (1). Their interesting case report showed diagnostic problems in a patient with no typical sarcoidosis symptom presentation. We agree that in similar situations organ biopsy should be considered as an effective diagnostic tool when sarcoidosis is suspected. We report a patient with an extrapulmona...
