Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease complication in lymphoma patients treated with oxaliplatin-based regimen: A case series report.

AIM: SOS/VOD is a relevant clinical syndrome that usually appears early after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The purpose of this article was to report a case series of SOS/VOD in non-susceptible patients and draw physicians' attention to the plausible relationship between liver injury and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, preceding autologous transplantation. METHODS: In this study, we report a case series of SOS/VOD in 4 lymphoma patients following autologous transplantation. The data were collected between July 2013 and November 2015 by analyzing patient's characteristics and outcomes. RESULTS: We noticed 4 severe cases of SOS with unusual presentations in patients who did exhibit few classical risk factors. These patients received R-DHAO before transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: Physicians need to be aware that oxaliplatin-based regimen could contribute to SOS/VOD complications in hematological patients.

[Rhabdomyosarcoma of adult genital tract: A short review]. / Rhabdomyosarcomes d'origine gynécologique chez l'adulte : revue générale et principes de prise en charge.

Rhabdomyosarcoma, most common soft tissue tumor in children, represent 8% of solid tumors in children. Conversely, in adults, this histology is very rare and no consensual recommendation is supported. If gynecological localization is one of the most frequent in children, it is a minority in adults. The management of this type of tumor is based on treatment multimodality combining surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and brachytherapy. This pathological separate entity differs from other sarcomas by its greater sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The aim of this study is to conduct a general review of diagnostic and treatment of genital tract rhabdomyosarcoma in adults, and to report pathological characteristics of this type of tumor.
