Q:-What is a xaxim?
*Case Study*
A 2-year-old boy fell from a backyard gym set. His shoulder and upper arm became very swollen shortly after the fall. The boy’s mother took him to the emergency department a few hours after th incident because he was complaining of pain. On physical examination, the physician noted that large hematoma had formed in the upper part of the boy’s right arm. There was no history of surgery (he had not been circumcised), injury, or illness.
The boy was receiving no medication. Emergency department treatment consisted of aspirating the hematoma Subsequent to this treatment, the boy began to bleed extensively. He was admitted to the hospital. The following laboratory tests were ordered: a hemoglobin and hematocrit, platelet count, and bleeding time. Because the bleeding continued, a type and crossmatch for two units of fresh blood were ordered on a standby basis. Additional information from the mother revealed that the boy’s cousin had “bleeding problem.”

For the last three months he has been feeling weaker and more fatigued than usual; his weight dropped from 170 to 155 pounds. Xin’s blood was drawn and testing was conducted. His hematocrit was 45% and white-blood cell count was 2,500 white-blood cells/mm3, with the differential showing neutrophils 65%, lymphocytes 25%, monocytes 10%. A biopsy was taken of one of the discolored lesions and grown in cell culture. After three days of growth the cells were confirmed as coming from malignant cancerous tissue. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the area around the skin lesions on Xin’s inner thigh revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a sign of potential metastasis.
