Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare tumor that occurs among young women and typically presents as bilateral multiple nodules. In the present report, we describe an uncommon case of PEH presented as a single cavitary nodule in a 33-yr-old asymptomatic man. This is the first case of PEH presented as a single cavitary nodule in the English literature. Three years of the foll...

The humoral defect may be severe enough to cause an absence in B cells, with a consequent recurrence of sinopulmonary disease, chronic non-infectious diarrhea and opportunistic infections.

Prostatic diseases commonly warrant surgical intervention. Early castration may prevent the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, and cavitary lesions (prostatic abscesses or cysts). In intact dogs that present with these disorders, castration should always be part of the specific surgical treatment because it enhances treatment success and may prevent recurrence. The curren...

MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM complex (MAC) consists of nontuberculous mycobacteria that cause disease in immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. The organisms are ubiquitous in the environment, and acquisition occurs through ingestion or inhalation of aerosols from soil, water, or biofilms. Disease may manifest as disseminated infection, soft tissue infection, chronic pneumonia, or hypersensitivity...
