Skin involvement in multiple myeloma (MM) has been described, but is uncommon.1-4 It usually presents in the form of plasmacytoma or nodular skin lesions that involve a well-demarcated area of the skin. We describe a case of unusual cutaneous involvement in a patient with relapsed MM after nonmyeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) that presented as a diffuse erythematous ...

Helicobacter pylori (HP) associated gastritis and peptic ulcer have been initially reported in adult patients. Recently, this association has also been demonstrated in children. We investigated 18 children (8-14 years old) with recurrent abdominal pain. In 7 patients gastroduodenoscopy revealed gastritis and HP was identified. Giemsa stain was more sensitive than urease testing in identifying t...

Intracochlear schwannoma is a rare, treatable, cause of unilateral hearing loss. Due to the small size, position, and variable clinical and imaging features, diagnosis presents a significant challenge and is often delayed. We present a case of a patient with an intracochlear schwannoma presenting as a diffuse enhancement of the cochlea, mimicking an infectious or inflammatory process. The absen...

In 2013, the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society introduced Kyoto classification of gastritis, which is useful to predict Helicobacter pylori infection based exclusively on endoscopic findings. Based gastric mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, hypertrophic folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness may be associated with cancer H. infection, are common findings in Koreans. Atrophy metap...
