Article Abstract

Triploidy occurs in about 1 to 3% of clinically recognizable pregnancies and is typically associated with growth restriction, craniofacial dysmorphisms and congenital anomalies. We report the case of a female fetus with prenatal diagnosis of complete triploidy, polysplenia, bilateral cleft-palate, horseshoe-kidneys and bilateral club-feet. Whereas bilateral cleft-palate, horseshoe-kidneys and bilateral club feet are known to be part of the triploidy-associated malformation spectrum, polysplenia, which usually occurs as part of the heterotaxia spectrum, has never been associated with triploidy. An amplification of the triploidy phenotype or a "double trouble".

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive breast cancer type, accounting for 5-7% of breast cancer-related deaths, and its bilateral involvement is exceedingly uncommon. We report a case of metachronous bilateral IBC in a 50-year-old premenopausal woman with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, offering novel insight into the diagnostic, therapeutic, and molecular challenges of this condition. The patient initially presented with acute right breast erythema, skin thickening, and , followed by contralateral breast involvement with similar symptoms.

Influenza infection is known to induce significant immunosuppression, particularly in vulnerable populations, but its impact can be exacerbated by underlying immunodeficiencies. This case report describes the rapid deterioration of a previously healthy 30-year-old male who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and septic shock due to methicillin-resistant pneumonia and bacteremia following Influenza A infection. The patient had a history of frequent plasma donations, leading to a significant reduction of immunoglobulins contributing to an increased susceptibility to bacterial coinfection.
