There was no recurrence after 6 months follow-up. Postcricoid neurofibroma is an extremely rare hypopharynx tumor that can be diagnostically challenging. D-Lin-MC3-DMA concentration To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported of solitary neurofibroma originating from the postcricoid region of the hypopharynx and was surgically removed with transoral surgery through supporting laryngoscope.

As a hematopoietic carcinogen, benzene induces human leukemia through its active metabolites such as benzoquinone, which may cause oxidative damage to cancer-related nuclear genes by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mitochondrion is the main regulatory organelle of ROS, genetic abnormality of mitochondrion can impede its regulation of ROS, leading to more severe oxidative damage. Mutations have been related to certain types of cancer in several mitochondrial genes, but they have never been completely analyzed genome-wide in leukemia. The patient was a 52-year-old female who had chronic exposure to benzene for several years. Her symptoms mainly included recurrent dizziness, fatigue, and they had lasted for nearly 8 years and exacerbated in recent weeks before diagnosis. Samples of peripheral blood were taken from the patient using evacuated tubes with EDTA anticoagulant on the second day of her hospitalization. At the same time blood routine and BCR/ABL genes of leukemic phenotype were tested. Pme were identified and considered to be potentially pathogenic in the female patient with benzene-induced leukemia. The mutation rate of platelet mitochondrial genome in the benzene-induced leukemia patient is relatively high, and the complete genome analysis is helpful to fully comprehend the disease characteristics. A total of 98 mutations were found, and 25 mutations were frame shift. The ND6 gene mutation rate was the highest among all mutation points. Frame shifts were identified in benzene-induced leukemia for the first time. Many mutations in the platelet mitochondrial genome were identified and considered to be potentially pathogenic in the female patient with benzene-induced leukemia. The mutation rate of platelet mitochondrial genome in the benzene-induced leukemia patient is relatively high, and the complete genome analysis is helpful to fully comprehend the disease characteristics. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and its association with clinical variables in a cohort of hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients receiving low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) at prophylactic dosage.In this retrospective observational study we included COVID-19 patients receiving prophylactic LMWH from admission but still referred for lower-limbs venous Doppler ultrasound (LL-US) and computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for clinical PTE suspicion. A dedicated radiologist reviewed CTPA images to assess PTE presence/extension.From March 1 to April 30, 2020, 45 patients were included (34 men, median age 67 years, interquartile range [IQR] 60-76). Twenty-seven (60%) had PTE signs at CTPA, 17/27 (63%) with bilateral involvement, none with main branch PTE. In 33/45 patients (73%) patients LL-US was performed before CTPA, with 3 patients having superficial vein thrombosis (9%, none with CTPA-confirmed PTE) and 1 patient having deep vein thromtein (9.60 mg/dL, IQR 6.75-10.65), C-reactive protein being the only laboratory parameter significantly differing between patients with and without PTE (P = .002)High PTE incidence (60%) in COVID-19 hospitalized patients under prophylactic LMWH co
