A 90-year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension, chronic kidney disease stage II, and hyperlipidemia presented with complaints of intermittent hematuria. He had no prior history of hematuria or mucosal bleeds and denied having any trauma. His activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) was found to be mildly prolonged at 48.4 seconds and his factor VIII level was found to be very low at less than 3%.
A 33-year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension, migraine, depression, and alcohol abuse presented with complaints of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. He was found to have an elevated lipase and ethanol level. CT scan of the abdomen was done which showed peripancreatic fat stranding around the pancreatic head consistent with mild acute uncomplicated pancreatitis. CT scan of the abdomen also revealed multiple clustered nodes in the central mesentery with fatty haziness and ground-glass appearance of the mesenteric fat, representing mesenteric panniculitis.
