<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (KFSD) is a rare, X-linked, hereditary disorder of keratinization, characterized by skin involvement and progressive scarring alopecia of scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The diagnosis is helped by the particular clinical features, but pathology is mandatory. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> We described a case of a female patient referred to the outpatient’s hair consultation of our department, in which we performed trichoscopy as a very useful tool for the diagnosis, followed by pathology that confirmed KFSD. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> In our article, we underlined the importance of trichoscopy for the diagnosis of this hair disease, with also a review of the literature on diagnosis and treatment.

AbstractObjetivesIn this case report, the role of the laboratory in the diagnosis process of the patient was treated with methotrexate (Mtx) who was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy by endometrial biopsy as a result of the exclusion of the possibility of phantom HCG following the patient with βHCG values was discussed.Case presentationOur 25-year-old female patient admitted to our hospital obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic with irregular menstruation was evaluated with a pre-diagnosis of pregnancy. The hCG level was examined and ultrasonographically evaluated by the clinician. In the initial evaluation of the 25-year-old patient, the HCG concentration of 47 mIU/mL was determined.ConclusionLaboratory specialists should be aware of potential problems in hCG measurement. Clinicians and laboratory specialists should always be on consultation to solve clinical problems.

Mycobacteria, which are known as rapidly growing bacteria, are pathogens that are responsible for cutaneous or subcutaneous infections that especially occur after injection, trauma, or surgery. In this report, we describe a species of Mycobacterium abscessus that was isolated from a breast abscess in a patient who was previously diagnosed with granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM). This current case is the first ever presented case of GLM associated with M. abscessus documented in South China. The case presentation highlights the role of M. abscessus in GLM. The association of M. abscessus and GLM is discussed and a summary of breast infection due to Mycobacteria is given.

Abstract Background Granulomatous capillary haemangioma refers to a benign vascular tumour that commonly affects the skin, with occasional involvement of the mucosa. Reports of conjunctival granulomatous capillary haemangioma in children are uncommon. In this article, we present a case of granulomatous capillary haemangioma and a brief review of the relevant literature. Case presentation An 11-year-old girl presented with a conjunctival mass. An excision of the entire lesion was performed. Histopathology showed a granulomatous capillary haemangioma. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of granulomatous capillary haemangioma lack specificity; pathological characteristics and immunohistochemistry are the main basis for diagnosis. We retrospectively analysed the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with conjunctival granulomatous capillary haemangioma to deepen the understanding and facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Abstract Background: Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is a non-neoplastic lesion involving multiple quadrants of the jaw. Case presentation: Patients are usually asymptomatic, and the diagnosis mainly depends on radiographic and clinical examinations. Here, we describe a 50-year-old female patient with clinical manifestations of bone defect, no pain or swelling, combined with imaging indicators of secondary infection. However, there are no accepted treatment guidelines for complex FCOD. Conclusions: Therefore, based on a review of the literature, this article describes treatment approaches for symptomatic patients and details the successful treatment of FCOD with superimposed fungal osteomyelitis.

State Of The Field

Ectopic spleen is a rare clinical malformation in which the spleen is relocated from its normal anatomical position to other parts of the abdomen. We report a rare case of abdominopelvic ectopic spleen caused by splenic ligament deficiency. A patient experienced intermittent pain in the left upper abdomen that was progressively aggravated. This was confirmed by comprehensive imaging examinations and postoperative pathology. We also performed a review of the literature on the current state of the field. Our data may help to improve the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic spleen.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Extraneural metastases of glioblastoma are very rare clinical entities, especially in pediatric patients. Because of their rarity, they can be confused with other pathological processes. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> We report a case of 16-year-old boy with extensive extraneural metastases of glioblastoma. Lung, liver, cervical lymph nodes, skin, and bone metastases were detected in the patient. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> We describe the presentation, evaluation, and diagnosis of this rare condition with regard to pertinent literature.
