ABSTRACT The patella is an uncommon site for skeletal tuberculosis. Its incidence is limited to a few anecdotal case reports or series in the literature. The presence of this clinical entity in the pediatric age group is even rarer. A high index of suspicion and early clinicoradiological diagnosis are the mainstay of treatment coupled with compliant antitubercular treatment. The effective management also mitigates its spread to whole of the knee joint and subsequent arthrosis. A rare case of patella tuberculosis with effective management and good functional outcome in a 9-year-old male child is presented here with relevant details.

Background and objectives: Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) is a type of histiocytosis that usually appears in young adults or children as bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, but extranodal involvement in not uncommon. Although the pathogenesis is not entirely elucidated, recent studies showed a possible neoplastic process. Materials and methods: Our manuscript presents a rare case of Rosai–Dorfman disease of the breast, the management of this rare case, and a literature review. There are few cases reported of RDD of the breast (around 90 globally reported cases); the data is poor, and the management not yet standardized for these cases. The case reported here shows the importance of correct breast investigation, breast imaging, and ultrasound-guided biopsy that provided an accurate diagnosis and guided further management. Results: Although RDD of the breast was rarely presented as bilateral disease in other case reports, our case showed bilateral breast disease with the suspicion of breast cancer on imaging. Pathology and immunohistochemistry were of critical importance and showed a specific pattern for histiocytosis. A multidisciplinary approach was taken into consideration for these cases in order to establish the approach. Some patients underwent surgery, but watchful waiting and close follow-up were the preferred approach. Conclusions: RDD of the breast is a rare form of histiocytosis, with fewer than 100 globally published cases. Although the management of this disease is not established yet by guidelines, a follow-up approach should be enough for these patients, and surgery might be overtreatment. Mortality from RDD is very low due to comorbidities. A multidisciplinary team decision is important, and abstinence might significantly benefit these patients.

Comprehensive Literature Review

We present a rare case of gastrogastric intussusception due to gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and the largest comprehensive literature review of published case reports on gastrointestinal (GI) intussusception due to GIST in the past three decades. We found that the common presenting symptoms were features of gastrointestinal obstruction and melena. We highlight the diagnostic challenges faced in low-resource countries. Our findings emphasize the importance of early clinical diagnosis in low-resource settings in order to guide timely management. In addition, histological analysis of the tumor for macroscopic and microscopic characteristics including mitotic index and c-Kit/CD117 status should be obtained to guide adjuvant therapy with imatinib mesylate. Periodic follow-up to access tumor recurrence is fundamental and should be the standard of care.

Cervical Disc Replacement

AbstractWear-induced complications after cervical disc replacement (CDR) are rare. A literature review on this topic found only a few case reports. We present a case of late complications after implantation of two cervical disc replacements, which resulted in infectious/abrasion-induced mixed-type inflammation with extensive osteolysis. The diagnostic workup, surgical therapy and outcome are presented and discussed with a review of the recent literature.

Rationale: Linezolid (LNZ) induced Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions (CADRs) have rare atypical presentation. Till date, there are very few published case reports on LNZ induced CADRs among the multidrug-resistant patients suffering from Infective Endocarditis (MDR IE). Here, we present a rare case report of LNZ induced CARs in a MDR IE patient. Case report: A 24-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with chief complaints of fever (101°C) associated with rigors, chills, and shortness of breath (grade IV) for the past 4 days. She was diagnosed with MDR IE, having a prior history of rheumatic heart disease. She was prescribed LNZ 600mg IV BD for MDR IE, against Staphylococcus coagulase-negative. The patient experienced flares of cutaneous reactions with multiple hyper-pigmented maculopapular lesions all over the body after one week of LNZ therapy. Upon causality assessment, she was found to be suffering from LNZ induced CADRs. LNZ dose was tapered gradually and discontinued. The patient was prescribed corticosteroids along with other supportive care. Her reactions completely subsided and infection got controlled following 1 month of therapy. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should be vigilant for rare CADRs, while monitoring the patients on LNZ therapy especially in MDR patients as they are exposed to multiple drugs. Moreover, strengthened spontaneous reporting is required for better quantification.
