Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) of the peritoneum is a rare form of epithelial mesothelioma. It usually shows an indolent course and no standard treatment is available. Only a few cases of WDPM in the pleural cavity have been reported. We report on a 56-year-old post-menopausal woman who presented with ascites and right pleural effusion. Laparotomy followed by biopsy established the presence of WDPM in the peritoneum and pleural cavity. The patient was successfully treated with local and systemic administration of carboplatin.

Abstract Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by pain, inflamed nodules, abscess, sinus tract, and fistula. HS is more common in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) and Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) compared to the normal population. Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV) mutations are thought to be responsible for the relationship between these three diseases. Case reports of secukinumab treatment in HS have been reported. In this article, a case of successful treatment of HS with secukinumab in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and FMF is presented.
