NAME: CAPTOR, Sollux AGE: Six (6) sweeps SEX: Male

[DIAGNOSIS] → Lymphocytic predominance Hodgkin's lymphoma A rare subtype, lymphocytic predominance Hodgkin's lymphoma shows many features which may cause diagnostic confusion with nodular lymphocyte predominant B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (B-NHL). [PROGNOSIS] → PROMISING With a very high survival rate (~90% or better), this form also has the most favorable prognosis.

NAME: EVANS, Soul Eater AGE: Sixteen (16) years SEX: Male

[DIAGNOSIS] → Lhermitte-Duclos disease Lhermitte-Duclos disease (dysplastic gangliocytoma, LDD) is a rare, slowly growing tumor of the cerebellum, characterized by diffuse hypertrophy of the stratum granulosum of the cerebellum. Main clinical signs are: Intracranial hypertension, headache, tremors, visual disturbances. [PROGNOSIS] → POOR Lhermitte-Duclos disease is a hamartoma that can cause symptoms and signs of mass effect in the posterior fossa and lead to hydrocephalus, brain herniation, and death, if not treated.

NAME: HARLEY, Jade AGE: Thirteen (13) years SEX: Female

[DIAGNOSIS] → Gardner syndrome (familial colorectal polyposis) Gardner syndrome is an autosomal dominant form of polyposis characterized by the presence of multiple polyps in the colon together with tumors outside the colon. It can be identified based on oral findings, including multiple impacted and supernumerary teeth. [PROGNOSIS] → UNKNOWN Unless surgical transection is performed, GI polyps may progress to malignancy in almost 100% of Gardner syndrome patients. People who have this condition need to have their colon surgically removed as soon as they are old enough to prevent cancer. This surgery is usually performed when the person is in the twenties.

NAME: HERMES AGE: Level ?? Humanoid SEX: Male

[DIAGNOSIS] → Superficial spreading melanoma Superficial spreading melanoma (also known as "Superficially spreading melanoma") (SSM) usually evolves from a precursor lesion, usually a dysplastic nevus (an atypical melanocytic nevus). The microscopic hallmarks are invasion of the upper epidermis in a pagetoid fashion; invasion of the dermis by atypical, pleomorphic melanocytes; and the pattern of rete ridges is often effaced. [PROGNOSIS] → POOR Treatment is by excisional biopsy, wide local excision and possibly sentinel node biopsy. Spread of disease to local lymph nodes or distant sites (typically brain, bone, skin and lung) marks a decidedly poor prognosis.

NAME: KITE AGE: Fourteen (14) years SEX: Male

[DIAGNOSIS] → Mucoepidermoid carcinoma Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common type of salivary gland malignancy in children. It presents as a painless, slow-growing mass that is firm or hard. Intraoral tumors are often bluish-red and fluctuant, and they may resemble mucoceles or vascular lesions. [PROGNOSIS] → UNKNOWN The appropriate management of mucoepidermoid carcinomas of the larynx is unsettled, but different treatment approaches are indicated for different tumor subsites and histologic grades.

NAME: MAKARA, Gamzee AGE: Six (6) sweeps SEX: Male

[DIAGNOSIS] → Ependymoma Ependymoma is a tumor that arises from the ependyma, a tissue of the central nervous system. Usually, in children the location is intracranial. Symptoms can include (but are not limited to): temporary inability to distinguish colors, uncontrollable twitching, seeing vertical or horizontal lines when in bright light, and temporary memory loss. [PROGNOSIS] → PROMISING About 85% of ependymomas are benign myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE). MPE is a localized and slowly growing, low-grade tumor. It may spread through the cerebrospinal fluid and usually require radiation therapy.

NAME: MERCER, Alex AGE: Twenty-nine (29) years SEX: Male

[DIAGNOSIS] → Nodular melanoma Nodular melanoma (NM) is the most aggressive form of melanoma. It grows in vertical direction from the outset and grows very fast (months). Nodular melanoma has no known precursor. It is a small black, or if amelanotic, pink nodule that simply enlarges. The lesions tend to bleed. [PROGNOSIS] → POOR Commonly, nodular melanoma is already invasive upon first diagnosis. Lesions deeper than 3mm have very poor prognosis. For this reason it is important that malignant melanomas are removed as early as possible.

NAME: SERKET, Vriska AGE: Six (6) sweeps SEX: Female

[DIAGNOSIS] → T-cell-prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) T-PLL is a mature T-cell leukemia with aggressive behavior and predilection for blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and skin involvement. Skin infiltrates are seen in 20% of patients. [PROGNOSIS] → POOR T-PLL is an aggressive disease, and patients are not expected to live normal lifespans. Median survival is low.

---

NAME: STRIDER, Dave AGE: Thirteen (13) years SEX: Male

[DIAGNOSIS] → Oligodendroglioma Oligodendrogliomas cannot currently be differentiated from other brain lesions solely by their clinical or radiographic appearance. As such, a brain biopsy is the only method of definitive diagnosis. Because of the indolent nature of these tumors, most neurooncologists will initially pursue a course of watchful waiting and treat patients symptomatically. [PROGNOSIS] → UNKNOWN Oligodendrogliomas are generally felt to be incurable using current treatments. However, compared to the more common astrocytomas, they are slowly growing with prolonged survival.

NAME: TSUNADE AGE: Twenty-five (25) years SEX: Female

[DIAGNOSIS] → Invasive ductal carcinoma Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is usually visualized as a mass with fine spikes radiating from the edges. The more different the cancer cells look compared to normal duct cells, the greater the risk of systemic spread. Treatment of IDC depends on the size of the mass. [PROGNOSIS] → UNKNOWN The prognosis of IDC depends, in part, on its histological subtype. Mucinous, papillary, cribriform, and tubular carcinomas have longer survival, and lower recurrence rates. Absence of cancer cells in the lymph nodes is a good indication that the cancer has not spread systemically.

NAME: WHISTLER, Wind AGE: Level ?? Hoofbeast SEX: Female

[DIAGNOSIS] → Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma is a neoplasm of the brain that occurs often in children and teenagers. Children affected by it can present a sudden onset of different symptoms that might include headache, or seizures. [PROGNOSIS] → POOR Morbidity is determined by type and evolution of the tumor: highgraded anaplastic tumors causing more fatalities. Greater degree of surgical removal appears to improve long-term survival.

NAME: ZAHHAK, Equius AGE: Six (6) sweeps SEX: FeMale

[DIAGNOSIS] → Pheochromocytoma A pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a neuroendocrine tumor of the medulla of the adrenal glands and secretes excessive amounts of catecholamines, usually adrenaline (epinephrine). The signs and symptoms of a pheochromocytoma are those of sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity, including hypertension (HTN) (high blood pressure), headache, and diaphoresis (excessive sweating). [PROGNOSIS] → POOR Surgical resection of the tumor is the treatment of first choice, either by open laparotomy or else laparoscopy. Given the complexity of perioperative management, and the potential for catastrophic intra and postoperative complications, such surgery should be performed only at centers experienced in the management of this disorder.
