Abstract

We describe a case of a 31-year-old man with a history of ocular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who presented with a large 12-cm non-resolving traumatic skin lesion on his back. Biopsy showed fungal elements, and on fungal culture, Rhizopus arrhizus (formerly R. oryzae) was isolated. Cutaneous mucormycosis is an important diagnostic consideration for a non-resolving skin lesion in an immunocompromised host. Early tissue sampling is key, and diagnostic certainty is particularly important because first line therapy, liposomal amphotericin B, has significant systemic toxicities, notable renal toxicity, and is therefore challenging to continue empirically. Surgical debridement is an integral part of therapy, highlighting the need for early multidisciplinary care in patients with cutaneous mucormycosis.

Abstract

We present the case of a 53-year-old man with a twenty-five pack year smoking history and a six month history of gross hematuria, who presented with a pT3a, N0, M0, muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). He declined neoadjuvant chemotherapy but did receive post-cystectomy adjuvant chemotherapy. Six months post adjuvant chemotherapy he presented with abdominal pain and a large bowel obstruction, and was found to have an isolated rectal recurrence of MIBC. This case illustrates two important issues. The first being that patients with a smoking history and symptoms of hematuria need to be carefully evaluated to rule out urothelial cancer. And second, for patients with muscle invasive disease, local pelvic recurrence is common and close surveillance for recurrence needs to be implemented.
