The median survival of patients with truncus arteriosus is five weeks of age with rare cases reaching adulthood. The longest reported survivor with balanced ventricles, as the index case has, is 38 years of age. The index case is a 46-year old male with Type 3 truncus arteriosus. His case has never been documented in the English Literature as far as the author is aware.

INTRODUCTION

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a highly malignant non-Hodgkin’s T-cell lymphoma (NHL), and it accounts for 2–8 per cent of all lymphomas (1). Here, we report a case of secondary pancreatic anaplastic large cell lymphoma which presented as acute pancreatitis. After an extensive review of the published literature on PubMed, there was only one case of secondary T-cell pancreatic lymphoma that presented as acute pancreatitis. Our case appears to be the second one.

ABSTRACT

Thymoma is the most common neoplasm of the anterior mediastinum but thymoma with Sjögren syndrome (SS) is rare. Sjögren syndrome is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disorder. It is characterized by lymphocyte-mediated destruction of exocrine glands, which leads to absent glandular secretion. Here, we present the case of a 63-year-old man with thymoma and concurrent myasthenia gravis and SS, who achieved remission after thymectomy.
