In rare cases, the tumors have spontaneously regressed.Individuals with IMT present with a wide range of symptoms (e.g. pain, swelling, a mass, organ dysfunction, etc.) depending on the tumor location(s). Up to 1/3 of these individuals have symptoms of systemic inflammation such as fever, chills, night sweats, and weight loss. Rare cases of IMT have developed in individuals with: a) organizing pneumonia; b) infection by Mycobacterium avium intracellulare or Corynebacterium equi (pneumonia-causing bacteria); Campylobacter jejuni (causes gastroenteritis); Lysinibacillus sphaericus (previously termed Bacillus sphaericus, a rare cause of lung infections and sepsis); Coxiella burneti (causes Q fever); Epstein–Barr virus (causes infectious mononucleosis and Epstein–Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative malignant diseases); and E. coli-related occlusive phlebitis of intrahepatic veins; or c) previous abdominal surgery; trauma; ventriculoperitoneal shunt in the brain; radiation therapy; and corticosteroid usage. The relationship (i.e. cause or merely association) of these disease relationships to IMT is unknown. Molecular abnormalities
The neoplastic cells in 50–60% of IMT and all cases of EIMS express an abnormal ALK protein made by a somatic recombination in the ALK gene. ALK, i.e. anaplastic lymphoma kinase (also termed protein kinase B), is produced by the ALK gene. In IMT, the ALK gene has merged with a gene located at another site on the same or different chromosome to form a chimeric gene consisting of a part of the new gene and a part of the ALK gene coding for ALKs activity. This chimeric gene overproduces a fusion protein with excessive ALK activity.
Adapalene/benzoyl peroxide, sold under the brand name Epiduo among others, is a fixed-dose combination medication for the treatment of severe acne vulgaris. It consists of a combination of adapalene and benzoyl peroxide in a topical gel formulation. Medical uses
Adapalene/benzoyl peroxide is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris. Side effects
Commonly reported side effects include the following:
Skin redness
Scaling
Dry skin
Contact dermatitis
Skin irritation
Stinging
Burning

Research
Meta-analysis of clinical trials has shown this combined therapy to be more effective than either of its ingredients by themselves.The use of adapalene/benzoyl peroxide in combination with oral antibiotics (lymecycline) has been studied; the combination was well tolerated and showed an improved success rate compared to those receiving only antibiotics (47.6% vs. 33.7%, P = 0.002).
