RESUMO

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare immune-mediated neuropathy causing destruction of the peripheral nervous system, with molecular mimicry playing a major role in its pathophysiology. Despite its rarity, it is considered the most common cause of acute flaccid neuromuscular paralysis in the United States. Although diagnosing GBS depends on the clinical presentation of the patient, cerebrospinal fluid sampling, nerve conduction studies, electromyography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ganglioside antibody screening can be used to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other differentials. Here, we report a rare case of GBS as a postoperative complication after a successful gastrojejunostomy to excise an adenocarcinoma in the second part of the duodenum. Such a complication is rare and not fully understood yet.

RESUMO

Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is an uncommon histiocytic condition characterized by massive histopathological aggregation of CD1-a negative, CD68-positive, and S100-positive histiocytes. It was initially described by Destombes in 1965 under the term "adenitis with lipid excess." However, it is named after Rosai and Dorfman who reported further histopathological features of the disease in 1969. The diagnosis of this non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis can be challenging and requires high clinical suspicion. The diagnostic process usually involves imaging, tissue biopsies, and genetic testing as needed. In this case series, we are presenting three cases of rare disease. Case 2 had both nodal and extranodal forms, which makes this case rarer than cases 1 and 3, which present with extranodal lesions.
