Some of these cases can be challenging to diagnose clinically as the patient symptomatology and progression can differ from the standard features of type 1 and 2 diabetes. Our case is an example of a patient whose type 1 diabetes presented atypically with characteristics often associated with type 2 diabetes. Patient presentations such as this are uncommon, with our patient having presented with the \"textbook\" characteristics of type 2 diabetes. When first diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2, the patient was 60 years old, had a BMI around 30 and experienced a gradual onset of symptoms over the course of several months. At the age of 64, the patient tested positive for GAD65 autoantibodies following a year of declining glycemic control and was re-evaluated and classified as a type 1 diabetes patient. Subsequent insulin injections resolved his diabetes-related complications which included polyuria, weakness and weight loss and improved his glycemic control. This case provides an example of an unusual clinical presentation of type 1 diabetes and serves to raise awareness for atypical presentations of diabetes to improve accurate classifications at earlier stages.","PeriodicalId":72274,"journal":{"name":"Archive of clinical cases","volume":"8 3","pages":"46-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/e4/0a/acc-08-03-46.PMC8717001.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39646278","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}

Immunotherapy has shown some positive results in vulvar carcinoma with PD-L1 positive, high TMB, high MSI or with MMR deficiency. An alternative for selected cases without therapeutic resources could be the HPV vaccine. We present the case of a 64-year-old woman diagnosed in 2014 with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma stage II for which she underwent radical vulvectomy with bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy followed by external radiotherapy. In 2019 she developed local recurrence associated with lung, pleural, lymph nodes and subcutaneous metastasis, treated with three lines of chemotherapy: paclitaxel/carboplatin followed by cisplatin/5-fluorouracil and carboplatin/gemcitabine. The patient's general health status altered progressively, and she died after the 4th cycle of carboplatin/gemcitabine.

Clinical symptoms are usually sudden and may vary depending on the level of the aortic occlusion. Associated morbidity and mortality remain substantial with high rates of limb loss, acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, and death. We report a case of a bedridden 91-year-old woman with history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, anemia and dementia, carried to the emergency department because of bilateral lower limb pallor. She had been at the same department the week before because of the same problems and high blood pressure (BP), but had been discharged after administration of hypotensive drugs and a short period of observation. No attention was paid to those perfusion alterations, or the global picture at all. The physical examination revealed cooling of the lower limbs and significant BP differential between upper and lower limbs (ankle-brachial index of 0.173), leading to the suspicion of bilateral acute limb ischemia. Abdominal, pelvic and lower limb CT was conducted, revealing calcification and important atheromatosis of the thoracic-abdominal aorta and a mural thrombus beginning above the origin of the celiac trunk, with complete occlusion below the origin of the renal arteries. After discussion with Vascular Surgery Department, given the advanced age, known co-morbidities and the timing of diagnosis, the patient was considered not eligible for revascularization surgery and comfort measures were honored. This case highlights the importance of stablishing a timely and correct diagnosis, even in the very elderly, emphasizing that they too benefit from secondary and tertiary prophylaxis, in order to prevent devastating outcomes as this.","PeriodicalId":72274,"journal":{"name":"Archive of clinical cases","volume":"8 3","pages":"42-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/b6/12/acc-08-03-42.PMC8717000.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39646277","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}

Six of these involved the correction of concave alar cartilages. The turnover technique alone or in combination with Batten grafts was performed.Results: Immediate and 3-months post-operative esthetic results using the turnover flap technique were satisfactory. Alar batten grafts were occasionally employed in order to maintain the newly positioned alar cartilages and avoid long-term contour depressions.Conclusion: The combination of these two techniques seems to be an interesting solution to maintain long-term esthetic results.","PeriodicalId":72274,"journal":{"name":"Archive of clinical cases","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/c4/86/acc-06-01-1.PMC8565695.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39605220","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}

The tumor develops from the ductal epithelium but the sequence of epithelial changes is often not identified due to the rapid tumoral growth and associated necrotic changes.

The particularity of our case consists in the identification of the columnar epithelium conversion, through high-grade PanIN, into UCOGC specific malignant features, in a large size tumor - aspect usually reported in small tumors.
