Unusual Relapse of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma at Site of Lumbar Puncture by Zartaj Ahmed, Ramesh K. Ramanathan, Sunil Ram, James Newell, Maqbool Halepota

“…We report a 63-year-old male patient, who responded well to treatment for PCNSL but relapsed two and half years later with a lumbosacral nodule at the site of a previous lumbar puncture due to microscopic tumor seeding. Clinicians treating patients with PCNSL must remain alert to the possibility of extracranial solitary relapse even after the resolution of initial disease because prompt treatment can result in a good outcome.…”

Featherwing Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera: Ptiliidae) by Henry S. Dybas

“…The common name is derived from the distinctive structure of the wings which are believed to function primarily for passive flotation, as in the ciliate seeds of dandelions. These wings are normally folded out of sight under the wing covers or elytra, which in some genera are shortened and truncate. …”
