Cardiac Mass and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy as Aggressive Presentation of Primary Cardiac Lymphoma: A Case Report

Journal of Cancer Therapy (2012)

Mehandi Haran Evbu Enakpene Ankur Lodha

Primary cardiac lymphoma is very rare. This disease occurs mainly in immunocompromised patients and rarely in the immunocompetent. With the advent of echocardiogram, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, more cases are being diagnosed ante-mortem although the prognosis still remains poor. These cardiac tumors provide unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We present an interesting case of primary cardiac lymphoma diagnosed antemortem in an 81 year old immunocompetent female presenting as a large mass in the right atrium, right ventricle and encasing the right coronary artery; and asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy, a variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Patient responded very well to chemotherapy with subsequent regression of the cardiac mass and ventricular hypertrophy.

Mycobacterium africanum Presenting as a Brain Mass

Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice (2008)

Nitin Bhanot Olga Badem Liby Mathew Mehandi Haran

A 27-year-old woman, who had emigrated from Sierra Leone 5 years prior, presented with worsening headaches of 3-month duration. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a lobulated mass lesion with central necrosis in the right parietal and occipital lobes. Biopsy was performed, and histopathology revealed multiple granulomas. Although acid-fast stain of the tissue was negative, gene probe showed Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, and culture revealed Mycobacterium africanum. This species is rare in the United States, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of M. africanum causing a brain mass.

Is it recurrent cryptococcal meningitis or immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome?

International Journal of STD & AIDS (2009)

Ankur Lodha Mehandi Haran

We report a case of a 45-year-old patient with a history of cryptococcal meningitis who was started on antiretroviral therapy. The patient presented four months later with complaints of fever and memory loss. Lumbar puncture revealed positive cryptococcal antigen and therefore the patient was treated for recurrent cryptococcal meningitis. Unfortunately, the patient did not improve even after two weeks. The diagnosis of immune reconstitution was made at this time and steroids were started. The patient showed remarkable improvement.
