Asbestos exposure was a health concern because of its use in certain sections of the WTC towers. Malignant mesothelioma, originating from the lining cells (mesothelium) of the peritoneal and pleural cavities, is one complication associated with asbestos exposure.Methods: The WTC Environmental Health Center (WTC EHC) is a treatment and surveillance program for community members (Survivors) exposed to WTC dust and fumes.Results: In this report, we describe four cases of mesothelioma in the WTC EHC as of July 1st, 2023. Two of our patients have been diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma and two patients have been diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma.Conclusion: Given the known delay in the development of mesotheliomas after asbestos exposure, we provide information on these early mesothelioma cases to enhance the understanding of the adverse health effects of WTC exposures on the local community.","PeriodicalId":72213,"journal":{"name":"Annals of case reports","volume":"9 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11578103/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142683909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our purpose in sharing it resides as means to augment scientific data and possibly help manage similar situations. This case represents a patient with Borderline Personality Disorder, from an outpatient setting, who was hospitalized due to a mixed state suspicion. She then developed consciousness and behavior changes. Firstly, it resembled a delirium, although there was no obvious explanation for it and besides benzodiazepines in her system, all lab exams were clear. When her consciousness was recovered she was confronted with family information we gathered, and admitted self-injuring (excessive medication) as a means to pretend a stroke, as well forged cancer and chemotherapy symptoms (she cut off all her hair), in order to receive her children’s attention. She was later discharged and oriented to a mental rehabilitation institution. Factitious Disorder is an underdiagnosed and confounding condition and possibly correlated to Borderline Personality Disorder. Despite some literature demonstrating a comorbidity relation between Borderline Personality Disorder and Factitious Disorder, there is still controversy among authors, as well as sparse data. This patient showed a clear comorbidity between these two disorders, which corroborates their connection.","PeriodicalId":72213,"journal":{"name":"Annals of case reports","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140387735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
