Case report and literature review about năm 2024

Primary angiosarcoma arising from the meninges is a rare form of malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumor. This study aimed to report the case of a 30-year-old female who presented with a 1-week history of worsening headache and numbness of the left limb. Neuroimaging revealed a broad based extra-axial mass occupying the right fronto-parietal area. The lesion showed a hypointense mixed intensity signal on T1 weighted image (WI) with flow voids, irregular necrotic areas, and peripheral enhancement on contrast, but a hyperintense mixed intensity signal on T2WI. Various histological patterns including sheets, small nests, cords, and sinus-like and primitive vessel-like structures were observed. Diffuse hemorrhage, necrosis, and cerebral parenchymal infiltration were also found in the tumor comprising spindle-shaped and epithelioid cells with marked atypia, abundant cytoplasm, and much of mitosis occurring. Tumor cells were positive for CD31, CD34, factor VIII (FVIII), FLI-1, CD117, ERG, and nestin. Furthermore, the MIB-1 labeling index was 10%. The patient underwent a total tumor resection with aggressive radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but had a tumor recurrence 5 months later. Compared with the previous one, the recurrent tumor from a second operation displayed almost the same morphological appearance and immune phenotype, with the MIB-1 labeling index rising up to 90%. Seven cases of meningeal angiosarcoma have been reported in the literature. A multidisciplinary treatment, such as a total tumor resection with radiotherapy or chemotherapy, is needed for primary angiosarcoma. The prognosis of patients with meningeal angiosarcoma remains poor considering the malignant nature of the tumor. It should be evaluated by more reported cases.

Case reports are usually considered as invaluable source of evidence in the field of medicine. These evidences can be used as fundamental source of information in further research on causes, diagnosis, effective treatment methods, and their outcomes of various diseases. Case Reports and Literature Review is an international open access platform which considers publishing any original case report that enhances the knowledge in all areas of clinical and medical specialities after a robust peer review process.

The main focus of Case Reports and Literature Review journal is to provide a unique platform for all the clinical, medical and nurse researchers to publish their valuable reports on various findings such as

• Unusual presentations of common diseases as well as clinical spectrum of rare diseases
• New variations or associations in disease processes, diagnosis and management of new and emerging diseases
• Side effects or adverse interactions where medications are involved
• An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms
• An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient
• Unique therapeutic approaches
• Findings that pour limelight on pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect etc.

This journal delivers exceptional findings in the form of case reports, clinical images, procedural video reports from every clinical discipline including medicine, nursing, dentistry, and veterinary sciences.

Your submission must be evaluated by the program director for clarity, focus, and appropriateness. In addition, the program director must review and approve the paper or case study. The resident must submit the paper via the AOAO Case Log System.

Literature Review Format

RESIDENT MUST BE THE FIRST AUTHOR

A literature review can be just a simple summary of sources, but it usually has an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a reshuffling, of the information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the field, including major debates. Depending on the situation, the literature review may evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant conclusion. A literature review may also use meta-analysis (examination of data from a number of independent studies of the same subject, in order to determine overall trends).

1. Abstract – Summary include key words and definitions. 2. Introduction – State research subject. Prepare the reader for what is to come in the body of the paper. 3. Review of literature – Systematic reporting of literature with particular emphasis on new data, new interpretation, or new use of old material contained in the search. 4. Discussion – Critical comments, interpretive statements or the taking of a new perspective based on the review. The discussion should include charts, tables, illustrations or case histories that clarify the subject being presented. 5. Conclusion – What should the reader learn as a result of the literature review that was reported? What is the outcome? What can the reader deduct from information presented? 6. References – See below for Basic Rules

Case Report Format

RESIDENT MUST BE THE FIRST AUTHOR

The format of a patient case report encompasses the following five sections: an abstract, an introduction and objective that contain a literature review, a description of the case report, a discussion that includes a detailed explanation of the literature review, a summary of the case, and a conclusion.

1. Abstract – A concise review indicating the nature of the report and what is the key feature or features to be learned from the body of the report. Key words must be included and separately identified immediately below the abstract. 2. Introduction and Objectives – This section should provide the subject, purpose, and merit of the case report. It must explain why the case report is novel or merits review, and it should include a comprehensive literature review that corroborates the author’s claim. 3. Case Report – This section should be relatively short and it should stress the key or pertinent pieces of information and/or data that apply to the reason why the study was undertaken. The areas to be covered, if applicable, include:

• Brief history • Chief clinical findings • Past history • Family history • Laboratory results • X-https://aoao.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Morrison-Photo-200px.jpg results • Consultations • Therapy utilized • Outcome • Autopsy or special report

4. Discussion – Discuss how, based on the literature review, the case is unique or interesting and warrants consideration by the reader. Clearly delineate how the experience of others should be altered by the information provided from the case. Indicate where there is a difference from the experience of other authors who have been cited in the literature review. 5. Summary – A short and succinct review of what was learned and what is expected for others to learn from the experience of reading the paper. 6. Conclusion – What was learned from the research? What is it that the resident wants the reader to walk away with after reading the article? 7. References – See below for Basic Rules

Scientific Paper

RESIDENT MUST BE THE FIRST AUTHOR

A well-written scientific paper explains the scientist’s motivation for doing an experiment, the experiment design and execution, and the meaning of the results. Scientific papers are written in a style that is exceedingly clear and concise. Their purpose is to inform an audience of other scientists about an important issue and to document the particular approach they use to investigate that issue. The scientific paper must meet all requirements for a scientific paper using the IMRAD format: (Introduction, Methods, Results, Abstract and, Discussion)

What is case report and review of literature?

The case report is a research design where an unexpected or novel occurrence is described in a detailed report of findings, clinical course, and prognosis of an individual patient, which might be, but not mandatory, accompanied by a review of the literature of other reported cases.

What is the literature review of a case study?

Your literature review should include a description of any works that support using the case to investigate the research problem and the underlying research questions. Identify new ways to interpret prior research using the case study.

How do you write a case report review?

Case reports should encompass the following five sections: an abstract, an introduction with a literature review, a description of the case report, a discussion that includes a detailed explanation of the literature review, and a brief summary of the case and a conclusion.

What is the difference between a case report and a research article?

An original research article is a primary scientific publication that reports on new research findings. It typically includes an abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references. A case report is a detailed description of a unique clinical or research case, often presenting novel or rare findings.
