Abstract

Background: Thymoma is a rare neoplasm. This incident is comparable to 390 new cases reported per year. Genetic factors are believed to be one of the factors of B3 thymoma and thymus carcinoma. Multimodality of thymoma therapy (surgery, radiation and chemotherapy) gives better results.Case Report: Mr A, 29 years old, with initial diagnosis of stage IV thymoma (according to Masaoka) with SVKS then undergo debulking, followed by chemotherapy with a regimen of Cisplatin + Vincristin, Cyclophospamid, Doxorubicin, Prednison every 21 days as much as 6 times. Subjective responses indicated by reduced complaints of chest pain and loss of swelling of the right arm. Semisubjective response indicated by increase of body weight. Objective response is progressive, so can be continued with second line chemotherapy or radiotherapy.Conclusion: The prognosis of patient with well differentiated thymic carcinoma stadium iv (thymoma b3) complicated with vena cava superior syndrome was poor because of the objective response of the chemotherapy was progressive, and the relapse case was higher.

Abstract

Background: Malignant mixed germ cell tumors account for 13-25% of all non seminoma germ cell tumors, almost all cases were found in males (85%), increased in the third decade, and had an average survival rate of 40-45%. With modern management the average 5-year survival rate can be over 80%.Case Report: We reported a case report in Saiful Anwar Malang Hospital, Indonesia, a young man, 26 years old with an malignant epithelial tumor derived from mediastinal or lung. The CT scan of the chest showed an lobulated solid mass of iso-hipodens on the anterior superior mediastinum, mass encompassing the aortic arch, left pulmonalis artery, subclavian artery. The result from transthoracic FNAB with USG guidance showed an malignant epithelial tumor derived from mediastinal or lung, impression of an adeno squamous carcinoma. The AFP, LDH, and NSE serum level was elevated. Patient underwent a surgical sternotomy and tumor debulking. The biopsy showed an malignant mixed germ cell tumor (yolksac and embrional carcinoma). These were confirming the diagnosis of malignant mixed germ cell mediastinal tumor (yolksac and embrinonal carcinoma). Patient received a combination bleomycin, etoposid, cisplatin 3 series chemoteraphy  and evaluated.Conclusion: Some procedures like biopsy, tumor marker, could differentiate the subtype of mediastinal germ cell tumor. The multimodality treatment by combining surgical therapy (surgical sternotomy and tumor debulking) with chemotherapy could increase the survival rate of patients.

Abstract

Pneumonia is the ninth most common disease in dr. Soedarsono Pasuruan Region General Hospital. The resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae to third-generation Cephalosporins and Streptococcus pneumonia to Penicillin were the topics discussed on World Health Organization’s (WHO) global report for antimicrobial resistance. This study purpose is to analyze the microbial pattern and antimicrobial resistance of bacterial pneumonia from sputum culture. This is a descriptive retrospective study with a total of 59 requests for sputum culture which included a clinical diagnosis of pneumonia. There are 37 male (63%) and 22 female (37%) with the most age group was adult (18-59 years) 39 people (66%) included in this study. Gram-negative bacteria are more common as the cause of pneumonia than gram-positive. Gram-negative bacteria that caused pneumonia in this study are Klebsiella pneumoniae (25.4%), Acinetobacter baumannii (15.3%), dan Enterobacter cloacae complex (15.3%). Gram-positive are Staphylococcus haemolyticus (11.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (8.5%), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (8.5%). The most antimicrobial resistance in gram-negative bacteria is Ampicillin (94.3%) and gram-positive bacteria are Benzylpenicillin (94.1%). The number resistance of Penicillin in gram-negative and gram-positive was high; therefore empirical therapy for pneumonia still uses broad-spectrum antimicrobial like beta-lactam.

Abstract

Background: Mediastinal germ cell tumors are uncommon, representing less than 1% of all malignancies. They mostly occur in young men after puberty and have a poor prognosis with over all long term survival rate 42%. Case Report: We reported a case report in Saiful Anwar Malang Hospital, Indonesia, a young man, 26 years old with an anterior mediastinum tumor and VCSS The CT scan of the chest showed an anterosuperior mediastinal mass which compress the superior vena cava. The result from transthoracic FNAB with USG guidance showed an extragonadal germ cell tumor which resemble an Embryonal Carcinoma from mediastinum. The AFP serum level was elevated. Patient underwent a radiotherapy and a surgical debulking. The biopsy showed an Endodermal Sinus Tumor (Yolk Sac). Immunohistochemical stain for cytokeratin was positive in the tumor cells while stain for CD30 was negative. These were confirming the diagnosis of primary mediastinal yolk sac tumor. Patient received a combination chemotherapy for a total 6 cycles.Conclusion: Some procedures like biopsy, tumor marker, immunohistochemical stain, could differentiate the subtype of mediastinal germ cell tumor. The multimodality treatment by combining chemotherapy with surgical therapy or radiotherapy could increase the survival outcome of patients.
