Abstract
INTRODUCTION A 64-year-old woman, presented to the ophthalmology outpatient clinic with abrupt onset of pain, blurred vision and redness in her right eye. Her medical history is remarkable for multiple myeloma, with successful bone marrow transplantation and recurrent disease as secondary plasma cell leukemia, managed with a biologic agent. Examination revealed severe fibrinous anterior uveitis, accompanied by keratic precipitates, rubeosis iridis and raised intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and normal fundus. The patient was treated intensively with topical steroids, IOP lowering agents, systemic acyclovir and prednisone. Response was partial, with further development of posterior synechiae, iris bombe and 360o angle closure. An anterior segment ultrasound demonstrated severely thickened iris. The appearance of bilateral sub-conjunctival salmon patches in both eyes facilitated histopathologic diagnosis by extraocular tissue biopsy which revealed plasma cells infiltration, suggestive of plasmacytoma. Ruthenium plaque radiotherapy administered in a 40Gy dose was initiated in both eyes with a new cycle of systemic chemotherapy. Complete regression after treatment was achieved bilaterally. AIMS To report a case of bilateral ocular plasmacytoma presenting as an acute anterior uveitis. BACKGROUND Plasmacytoma, associated with multiple myeloma, is a solid tumor of the lymphoid system composed of monoclonal plasma cells. Ocular involvement is rare and direct infiltration of both eyes is even rarer. METHODS A case report. CONCLUSIONS Extramedullary plasmacytoma rarely involves ocular structures. In the setting of systemic malignancy, ocular involvement should be considered, especially when acute inflammation is recalcitrant to therapy.

Abstract
AML can be associated with autoimmune or inflammatory phenomena (AIP) occurring prior, concomitantly or after its diagnosis. Trisomy 8 is one of the most common cytogenetic abnormalities associated with AML. We describe three patients with AML, trisomy 8 and associated AIP and review the known literature on this association. All of our patients had major symptomatic relief when treated with leukemia-directed therapy and corticosteroids. AIP in AML may be an underdiagnosed phenomenon, particularly in patients with trisomy 8.

Abstract
The co-occurrence of thymoma and T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia is an extremely rare but previously reported association that poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We describe a 67-year-old patient with long-standing untreated B1 thymoma that presented with constitutional symptoms and a painless soft tissue mass on the right chest wall. Pathological analysis of the biopsy from the mass demonstrated T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. The patient went through a complicated course, was refractory to several lines of therapy, and eventually underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in complete remission from a matched related donor. The association between thymoma and malignant neoplasms has been described in the literature, most notably with colorectal adenocarcinoma and thyroid cancer. Thymoma-associated leukemia is, however, extremely unusual, with limited reports in the literature. Distinguishing between thymoma and leukemia can be challenging and often requires meticulous diagnostic efforts. For patients with a past history of thymoma, awareness of this particular association should be bared in mind to allow earlier diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare, malignant, and aggressive subtype of histiocytosis. We present an unusual case of aggressive HS presenting in the gastrointestinal tract and gallbladder that progressed after several lines of chemotherapy with a leukemic phase. We review the clinical, pathological, and molecular characteristics of HS in this case and review the literature on HS involving the digestive system as well as on overt leukemic phase of this disease. HS is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, and mortality is high. We discuss the therapeutic approach to patients with HS. We highlight the role of overexpression and somatic alterations in the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway in the pathogenesis of HS and discuss potential targeted approaches to treat these rare tumors.

Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare hyperinflammatory syndrome, which can manifest either secondary to a variety of underlying causes, or due to a primary genetic defect. Malignancy is the most common underlying disease in adults with HLH, with lymphomas being the most common malignancy. Lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS) typically follows a rapidly progressive clinical course and is associated with poor prognosis. We herein present four patients with HLH associated with aggressive lymphoma. At initial presentation, the underlying etiology of the HLH was unclear. Two patients were eventually diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma, while the other two had diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Two of the patients experienced rapid clinical deterioration, one at diagnosis and the other at relapse, and both died prior to diagnosis of lymphoma despite HLH-directed therapy. These cases highlight the need for intensive management in adults with HLH without a clear etiology, especially in cases when lymphoma-associated HLH is suspected. We describe the current pitfalls in diagnosis and treatment of LAHS and discuss possible ways to improve patient management.

Abstract
Spontaneous regression of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a rare event. We describe a 32-year-old woman with spontaneous regression of HL and review the literature. The patient presented with cervical lymphadenopathy and was diagnosed with stage IIA classical HL. The patient refused to receive any treatment for her disease. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography carried out 2 years later showed complete regression of the lymphadenopathy, without pathological uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose. At the last follow-up, 3.5 years after the initial presentation, the patient is with no evidence of disease. During workup for the HL, concomitant papillary thyroid carcinoma was diagnosed, for which the patient refused treatment as well. The thyroid malignancy has remained stable throughout the follow-up.

Abstract
Currently, there are only 2 case reports of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) associated with severe neutropenia. This is a case report of a woman with a past medical history of WM who presented with neutropenic fever. The patient's febrile neutropenia resolved after RCD chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2, dexamethasone 20 mg, and rituximab 375 mg/m2). Fourteen days after administration, the neutrophil level had started to rise and normalized after 6 days. To the best of our knowledge, this is the 3rd reported case of agranulocytosis due to WM.

Abstract
Vascular diseases such as diabetes and hypertension cause changes to the vasculature that can lead to vessel stiffening and the loss of vasoactivity. The microstructural bases of these changes are not presently fully understood. We present a new methodology for stain-free visualization, at a microscopic scale, of the morphology of the main passive components of the walls of unfixed resistance arteries and their response to changes in transmural pressure. Human resistance arteries were dissected from subcutaneous fat biopsies, mounted on a perfusion myograph, and imaged at varying transmural pressures using a multimodal nonlinear microscope. High-resolution three-dimensional images of elastic fibers, collagen, and cell nuclei were constructed. The honeycomb structure of the elastic fibers comprising the internal elastic layer became visible at a transmural pressure of 30 mmHg. The adventitia, comprising wavy collagen fibers punctuated by straight elastic fibers, thinned under pressure as the collagen network straightened and pulled taut. Quantitative measurements of fiber orientation were made as a function of pressure. A multilayer analytical model was used to calculate the stiffness and stress in each layer. The adventitia was calculated to be up to 10 times as stiff as the media and experienced up to 8 times the stress, depending on lumen diameter. This work reveals that pressure-induced reorganization of fibrous proteins gives rise to very high local strain fields and highlights the unique mechanical roles of both fibrous networks. It thereby provides a basis for understanding the micromechanical significance of structural changes that occur with age and disease.

Abstract
Smoking is an independent risk factor for the initiation, extent and severity of periodontal disease. This study examined the ability of the host immune system to discriminate commensal oral bacteria from pathogens at mucosal surfaces, i.e. oral cavity. Serum immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibody reactive with three pathogenic and five commensal oral bacteria in 301 current smokers (age range 21-66 years) were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Clinical features of periodontal health were used as measures of periodontitis. Antibody to the pathogens and salivary cotinine levels were related positively to disease severity; however, the antibody levels were best described by the clinical disease unrelated to the amount of smoking. The data showed a greater immune response to pathogens than commensals that was related specifically to disease extent, and most noted in black males. Significant correlations in individual patient responses to the pathogens and commensals were lost with an increasing extent of periodontitis and serum antibody to the pathogens. Antibody to Porphyromonas gingivalis was particularly distinct with respect to the discriminatory nature of the immune responses in recognizing the pathogens. Antibody responses to selected pathogenic and commensal oral microorganisms differed among racial groups and genders. The antibody response to the pathogens was related to disease severity. The level of antibody to the pathogens, and in particular P. gingivalis, was correlated with disease severity in black and male subsets of patients. The amount of smoking did not appear to impact directly serum antibody levels to these oral bacteria.
