Acute interstitial pneumonia (hamman-rich syndrome) - a life threatening respiratory disease

Acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) is an idiopathic lung disease characterized by rapidly progressive dyspnoea, respiratory failure developing over days to weeks in patients without pre-existing lung disease. AIP show a very poor prognosis, with high mortality and remains unfamiliar to physicians. In this report, we present a case of a mid-age male with AIP who, was treated with intensive medical facilities, still showed a rapid progressive clinical deterioration, and eventually died of respiratory failure.

A Rare Case of Triple Malignancy: Non Hodgkin Lymphoma, Carcinoma of Breast and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Tongue in a Single Patient

We are reporting a case of having triple malignancy including Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), Carcinoma breast, Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue. Triple malignancy is a very rare occurrence. Cancer patient are at increased risk of developing a subsequent primary tumour. Prevalence of multiple primary malignancies is slowly increasing due to prolonged survival of cancer patients with advances in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. The reasons may be environmental modifications, genetic predisposition or therapy-induced. People who have had non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) can get any type of second cancer, but they have an increased risk of certain cancers, including carcinoma lung, skin, tongue, bladder, colon, kidney etc. Radiation therapy to the chest increases the risk of breast cancer.
