AbstractA single coronary artery is an exceedingly rare anomaly. Hereby, we present an unusual case of a young patient with an acute coronary syndrome who was found to have a single coronary artery originating from a single ostium in the right sinus of Valsalva with dual left anterior descending (LAD) arteries arising from the right coronary artery with two different anatomical courses, and additionally one of those LADs running a malignant intra-arterial course.

Abstract Allergic reactions related to drug use is a common entity presenting often from minor urticaria to life-threatening anaphylactoid reactions. A common but easily overlooked diagnosis, Kounis syndrome, is an established hypersensitivity coronary disorder induced by drugs, foods, environmental factors, and coronary stents that can present in the same way as non-allergy-induced acute coronary syndrome. Here within, we present a unique case of dual presentation of Kounis syndrome and prolonged QTc in a young patient after a single dose of Domperidone and Lansoprazole.

Systemic to pulmonary fistulas are an unusual entity, even more so in association with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. We herein report a case of a 33-year-old woman that presented with an incidental lung lesion on a chest radiograph with an associated high-frequency continuous murmur over the lesion. The diagnosis of primary pulmonary Hodgkin’s lymphoma, nodular sclerosis type, was obtained by a CT transthoracic biopsy. We achieved an excellent response after polychemotherapy with near-complete disappearance of the mass and a residual faint systolic murmur over the lesion.

Management of trapped lung with an underlying lung lesion and hydropneumothorax remains controversial. Furthermore, Aspergillus empyema and aspergilloma are rare pathologies for which uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) surgical management remains controversial. We present a young patient referred to our service after recent hospitalization for pneumonia. The patient was found to have a chronic effusion with a right lower lobe cystic parenchymal lesion and was taken to the operating room. The patient underwent right uniportal VATS surgery with evacuation of empyema, total pulmonary decortication, and right lower lobectomy. His postoperative course was unremarkable, and he was discharged home. Postoperative workup demonstrated lymphocyte variant hypereosinophilia. He continues to follow with thoracic surgery at the time of this report and remains asymptomatic. We conclude that uniportal VATS is a most minimally invasive, safe, and efficient approach for management of complex intrathoracic pathology including total pulmonary decortication and lobectomy.

<p class="abstract">When a young patient comes to our OPD with chronic heel pain, our first differential diagnosis is never a tumour. We always consider a possibility of calcaneal epiphysitis, or apophysitis. Glomus tumour itself is rare and that involving the bones is rarer. We are presenting here a case of an 11 year ­old girl with complaints of chronic pain in left heel. Plain radiograph revealed a lesion in her left calcaneum. CT scan was suggestive of hyper dense lesion in left calcaneum and possibilities of chondroma or osteoid osteoma were kept. The lesion was excised and microscopy revealed a glomus tumour comprising round to oval cells arranged around blood vessels. Aim of our study is to report such an unusual case of glomus tumour of bone in young patient without recurrence after resection.</p>
