BACKGROUND
Lung cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies, with high mortality rates. It can metastasize in almost all organs, but more often invades hilar nodes, liver, adrenal glands, bones and brain. There are various data on the incidence of lung cancer metastases in the skin. In 1-12% of
One hundred seventy-six patients with breast prosthetic implants were evaluated. All women were symptomatic and were referred by either attorneys (152) or physicians (24) for rheumatic evaluation. The women ranged in age from 24 to 72 with a mean of 45 years. Indications for surgery were cosmetic
Dermatomyositis is an uncommon inflammatory disease marked by muscle and joint weakness with skin rash.

We successfully treated a 33-year-old woman with etoposide who developed systemic sclerosis (SSc)-associated refractory hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS). She had been diagnosed as SSc because she had had Raynaud's phenomenon, proximal scleroderma, telangiectasia, microstomia, thickening and shortening
In the past 10 years we have examined 20 children with inflammatory liver disease associated with high serum titers of anti-liver-kidney microsome antibody (anti-LKM). The first hepatic symptoms were progressive fatigue and jaundice, the fortuitous finding of hepatomegaly or splenomegaly with raised

OBJECTIVE
We report the first known case of fulminant hepatitis due to hairy cell infiltration.
METHODS
A 43-year-old woman with hairy cell leukemia returned 1 year after diagnosis with spider angiomata of the face and neck, palmar erythema, and diffuse telangiectasias. The liver span was normal.
OBJECTIVE
The angiogenesis inhibitor dalantercept (formerly ACE-041) is a soluble form of activin receptor-like kinase-1 (ALK1) that prevents activation of endogenous ALK1 by bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP9) and BMP10 and exhibits antitumor activity in preclinical models. This first-in-human
A 69-year-old woman who had a history of chronic hepatitis C, autoimmune hemolytic anemia and myelodysplastic syndrome was treated with sorafenib at a daily dose of 400 mg for HCC with multiple lung metastases. Nonetheless, elevated serum tumor markers further increased (alpha fetoprotein from
