Sea-blue histiocytosis associated with hyperlipidaemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

A patient with sea-blue histiocytosis in spleen and bone marrow with an accompanying hyperlipidaemia is described. The hyperlipidaemia was due to an increase in "free" cholesterol, lecithin, and triglycerides. Despite these findings lecithin-cholesterol acyl transferase activity was normal. Although

Extremely High Ferritinemia Associated with Haemophagocytic Lympho Histiocytosis (HLH).

Only registered users can translate articles

Hyperferritinemia (>10,000 ng/ml) is an important hallmark used as an indicator of infection triggered macrophage activation syndrome leading to hemophagocytic lympho histiocytosis (HLH). Measurement of serum ferritin can be used in diagnosis as well as disease monitoring indicator and prognosis

Malignant histiocytosis. A clinical and morphological study of four cases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Four patients with malignant histiocytosis are described. Major clinical signs were fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. Laboratory studies showed leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, low leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) score, normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and elevated

A case of hematophagic histiocytosis associated with acute renal failure.

Only registered users can translate articles

The present report describes a rare case of hematophagic histiocytosis associated with acute renal failure. A 32-year-old woman was referred to us from a local hospital because of progressive deterioration of renal function, jaundice and a bleeding tendency. The physical findings at admission

[A case of a Korean adult affected by type B Niemann-Pick disease: secondary sea-blue histiocytosis and molecular characterization].

Only registered users can translate articles

Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme acid sphingomyelinase coded by SMPD1 gene. In contrast with type A NPD, a severe neurodegenerative disease of infancy, type B NPD patients have little or no neurodegeneration, and frequently survive

Splenomegaly with sea-blue histiocytosis, dyslipidemia, and nephropathy in a patient with lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency: a clinicopathologic correlation.

A 31-year-old man with no significant medical history presented with a 5-day history of progressive left upper quadrant abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed a tender guarded abdomen, no icterus, and bilateral corneal "arcus senilis"-like changes. Laboratory workup showed a mild normocytic,

Cholesterol ester storage disease in an adult presenting with sea-blue histiocytosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

An adult patient is described with hepatomegaly and sea-blue histiocytes in the bone marrow. A diagnosis of cholesterol ester storage disease was established following enzyme and lipid analyses on liver biopsy and cultured skin fibroblasts. Acid esterase activity was deficient (approx. 5% of

Metabolic effects of growth hormone replacement in two pediatric patients with growth without growth hormone.

Only registered users can translate articles

Growth without growth hormone (GH) has occasionally been described in patients who have had tumors removed in the hypothalamic-pituitary area. Most of these patients have metabolic abnormalities such as obesity, dyslipidemia and fatty liver. This report describes the metabolic beneficial effects of

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children: a nationwide survey in Japan.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is associated with hypercytokinemia in children. Although HLH can be also observed after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the incidence and clinical features of HLH after HSCT remain obscure. METHODS The clinical features of HLH

Only registered users can translate articles

Levels of total lipids, cholesterol and triglycerides were followed in 30 children with malignant hematological diseases, or solid tumors; in addition, chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL and HDL were separated by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel. Nine of the 13 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

Effects of miglyol 812 on rats after 4 weeks of gavage as compared with methylcellulose/tween 80.

Only registered users can translate articles

Miglyol 812 is a medium-chain triglyceride used in toxicology studies as an excipient to improve test compound solubility/absorption. As part of a larger toxicology study, 15 Wistar Han IGS rats/sex/group were dosed by oral gavage for 4 weeks with 10 mL kg(-1) day(-1) of 100% Miglyol 812 or 0.5%

Unusual normolipidemic cutaneous xanthomatosis: a comparison of two cases illustrating the differential diagnosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

A patient who developed diffuse normolipidemic plane xanthomas also presented with IgG lambda monoclonal gammopathy, hypernephroma, an unusual family cluster of leukemia (with two family members in two generations), and a unique, acquired C1-esterase inhibitor deficiency.

Eruptive xanthogranuloma in a healthy adult male.

Only registered users can translate articles

Xanthogranuloma is a benign, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis primarily diagnosed in infants and children, although a subset occurs in adults. Multifocal eruptive presentation of xanthogranuloma is very rare with only 4 previous cases reported in the literature to our knowledge. We describe a case

Familial splenomegaly: macrophage hypercatabolism of lipoproteins associated with apolipoprotein E mutation [apolipoprotein E (delta149 Leu)].

Only registered users can translate articles

Splenomegaly with sea-blue histiocytes is not associated with dyslipidemia, except in severe cases of hypertriglyceridemia, Tangier disease, or lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency. We describe two kindreds in which the sea-blue histiocyte syndrome was associated with an apoE variant in
