8. Cutaneous mucormycosis as result of insulin administration in an AML patient: Case report and review of the literature

Author

Delie, Anke, Vlummens, Philip, Creytens, David, and Steel, Eva

Abstract

We present a case of cutaneous mucormycosis in a patient with several important risk factors precipitating disease, namely underlying acute myeloid leukaemia and poorly controlled secondary diabetes. Inoculation was most likely caused by repeated minor trauma (insulin injection) at the site of infection. Treatment consisted of surgical debridement and liposomal Amphotericin B (LAmB) during 71 days. Posaconazole had already been initiated prior to infection as primary antifungal prophylaxis but was discontinued during follow-up as susceptibility testing later revealed resistance to posaconazole. Additional treatment with caspofungin and G-CSF was associated because of poor initial result to treatment. Caspofungin was later continued as monotherapy when LAmB had to be interrupted because of renal toxicity. Treatment was completed after closure of the surgical site. The patient was successfully treated and remains infection free for one year after initial diagnosis.

12. Aggressive extensive cardiac mass in an HIV-1-infected patient: should we go for comfort therapy?

Author

Vervloet, Delphine MTF, De Pauw, Michel, Demulier, Laurent, Vercammen, Jan, Terryn, Wim, Steel, Eva, and Vandekerckhove, Linos

Abstract

Cardiac masses are rare, the differential diagnosis includes infections with vegetations or abscesses, neoplasms, thrombi, and structural abnormalities. A pathology specimen is essential in therapeutic strategy planning for a cardiac mass, also if the primary imaging findings look dramatic at the start. Even in an inoperable setting, a life-saving therapy might be available. We report a case of a 49-year-old man, known with HIV-1, who was several times admitted with pericarditis. Now he was hospitalized with progressive lower limb edema, atrial fibrillation and detection of a giant cardiac mass in left and right atrium with infiltration of surrounding tissues. Given the extent and invasiveness of the mass, he was inoperable. Biopsy specimen was obtained and staging was performed by PET-CT scan. The diagnosis of stage IV Burkitt lymphoma with predominant extranodal cardiac involvement was withheld wherefore promptly aggressive therapy was started according to the GMALL B-NHL86 protocol. The therapy was downgraded to R-CHOP due to tolerance problems. He achieved a complete remission and during follow-up no relapse was detected.
