Lymphoma of the maxillary sinus in a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1.

A 27-year-old woman with a history of intravenous drug abuse presented with a stage IE, diffuse, large cell lymphoma of the right maxillary sinus. A test for antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus was positive. The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy and local maxillary sinus irradiation which resulted in complete regression of the disease. Therapy was complicated by mucositis, neutropenia, and opportunistic infections. This is the first case report to discuss the presentation and treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related lymphoma of the maxillary sinus.

Pretreatment hemoglobin, platelet count, and prognosis in endometrial carcinoma.

We analyzed whether a low pretreatment hemoglobin level is a prognostic factor in endometrial cancer and whether it is associated with thrombocytosis. Two hundred and twelve patients with endometrial cancer treated with surgery were reviewed. Data were analyzed with Pearson's chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test in contingency tables, the Mann-Whitney U-test, the Student's t-test, and Kaplan-Meier estimates. Multivariate analysis was performed with the log-rank test and the Cox proportional hazard model. Thirty-nine patients (18%) had a pretreatment hemoglobin value of < 12.0 g/dL. These 39 patients had significantly higher rates of nonendometrioid histology, high-grade tumors, myometrial invasion of > 50%, adnexal involvement, lymph-vascular space involvement, and advanced FIGO stage than patients with hemoglobin > or = 12.0 g/dL. The rate of thrombocytosis was significantly higher in patients with a low hemoglobin level (36% vs. 8%, P < 0.01). The overall 5-year survival rate of patients with low pretreatment hemoglobin was 59% compared with 89% for those with hemoglobin > or = 12 g/dL (P < 0.01). In the multivariate analysis age, thrombocytosis, nonendometrioid histology, high-grade histology, and advanced FIGO stage were significantly associated with a poor prognosis whereas adnexal involvement, lymph-vascular space involvement, low hemoglobin and myometrial invasion were not. These data indicate that low pretreatment hemoglobin is a prognostic factor in patients with endometrial cancer and that it is associated with thrombocytosis. Low hemoglobin was strongly associated with other unfavorable prognostic factors so that it was significant in the univariate but not the multivariate analysis.

CT myelography of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma.

A case of so-called spontaneous epidural hematoma is presented. A new constellation of myelographic and CT myelographic signs are described that may assist in localizing a mass within the spinal epidural space.
