Background: Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (PCAS) is a suppurative process that involves the scalp, eventually resulting in extensive scarring and irreversible alopecia. This condition often presents in males of African American origin. Objective: This article describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an Aboriginal Canadian male suffering from PCAS. A literature review on the etiology, pathology, differential diagnosis, and management is also discussed. Conclusion: Careful analysis of the pathology and clinical presentation can aid in the timely diagnosis and management of this challenging condition. The clinician dealing with patients suffering from PCAS has several treatment options available to help successfully manage patients with straightforward or recalcitrant disease.

We report a case of hepatic adenoma progression to carcinoma in the setting of hepatoportal sclerosis in an HIV+ patient and provide a review of the scarce literature regarding hepatoportal sclerosis in HIV patients. We describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and management. This is the first case report in the literature of progression of hepatic adenoma to carcinoma in hepatoportal sclerosis in an HIV patient. This case also highlights the broad differential diagnosis that should always be included in the study of any liver disease in this patient population, including the performance of invasive and aggressive tests to arrive at the final diagnosis.

Unusual Case Report

Solitary periungual angiofibromas can often be challenging in the diagnosis and treatment of such common lesions. Because of the various histologic presentations of fibrous skin tumor, a complete differential diagnosis would include hemangioma, seborrheic keratosis, fibroma, and digital fibrokeratoma. Treatment by total sharp excision can often be accomplished, depending on the morphological appearance of the lesion. An incisional biopsy of a more expansile lesion may be warranted.

Uncommon Case

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is a common finding in premenopausal women and commonly affects the gastrointestinal tract, especially the rectosigmoid tract. Small bowel involvement is rare and usually asymptomatic making diagnosis difficult. Here we report an uncommon case of exophytic ileal endometriosis surgically treated. Detailed pre-operative counselling on the risk of ileal surgery should always be considered in all cases with endometriosis requiring surgery. We also present a review of the literature regarding the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this challenging condition.

Hashimoto Encephalopathy

Hashimoto encephalopathy is a rarely diagnosed autoimmune neurological disorder, associated with the presence of antithyroid antibodies. The variability of clinical presentation, rarity of the disease, and absence of specific diagnostic markers make timely diagnosis very complicated. This article describes a clinical case of a female patient with Hashimoto encephalopathy and discusses diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment approaches. We emphasize the importance of establishing a timely diagnosis, considering high efficacy of targeted treatment.

Caucasian Male

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, a rare condition of unknown etiology, was first described by Kitamura et al. from Japan in 1960. It is characterized by a triad consisting of well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian male, who had asymptomatic symmetrical facial lesions since the age of 42. His family history was unremarkable. Published erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli cases of the last 10 years are summarized in this report to demonstrate the variability and differences in the clinical presentation of this uncommon diagnosis.
