Endometriosis is a chronic hormone-dependent progressive disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrioid tissue. Most often, endometriosis affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the abdominal cavity, but endometrioid foci are also found in the intestines, heart, lungs, skin and other atypical localizations. This article presents a clinical case of retrocervical endometriosis diagnosed based on the results of pathological and histological examination. It is important to note the complexity of the differential diagnosis of this form of endometriosis due to secondary changes in the area of the colon and the absence of characteristic clinical manifestations.

Devergie disease, or pityriasis rubra pilaris, is a poorly studied and rare disease, which prevalence is estimated at about 1 in 400 thousand. The article provides relevant data on the classification of Devergie disease, features of the course and clinical manifestations of each of the 6 types of the disease, as well as the ap-proximate occurrence of these types. Erythroderma can occur in Devergie disease, but data on the incidence of this manifestation vary significantly. The article presents a clinical case of type 1 Devergie disease. This case is of particular interest, since the disease began not according to the classical scheme, i.e., with appearance of an erythematous spot, but with extensive areas of erythroderma. This case is intended to draw attention to the fact that dermatological diseases do not always develop in a typical way, and the correct diagnosis often requires a histological examination. Key words: pityriasis rubra pilaris, Devergie disease, erythroderma, clinical case. For citation: Plieva K.T., Denisova E.V., Bobrov M.A. et al. Rare dermatological diseases: Devergie disease.

Amyloidosis combines diseases that are characterized by extracellular deposition of a specific insoluble fibrillar amyloid protein. The prevalence of amyloidosis is an average of 10 cases per 100 thousand people. The clinic of the disease is polymorphic and depends on the organ with amyloid deposition. The article discusses the clinical case of systemic amyloidosis with damage to the stomach, liver and other organs. The differential diagnosis was carried out with tuberculosis, cancer, cirrhosis. The final diagnosis was made by histological examination of biopsy samples of the liver and stomach. Difficulties in diagnosing primary amyloidosis are due to the attrition and non‑specificity of the clinical picture of the disease. Amyloidosis is diagnosed based on organ biopsy data.

Background: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare hereditary skin disease. It is subdivided into EB simplex (EBS), junctional EB (JEB), dystrophic EB (DEB) and Kindler syndrome. JEB is diagnosed in 2 per 1,000,000 of the population. There are few descriptions of clinical JEB cases in the literature. Clinical diagnosis of JEB and its subtypes is a challenge, especially in the early age. The paper presents 2 clinical cases of JEB in patients of the West Slavonic origin. Clinical case No. 1 was a girl of Ukrainian ethnicity, with confirmed definitive diagnosis of severe generalized JEB. Molecular genetic tests identified mutations of the LAMA3 gene that had not been described previously. The patient died at the age of 24 months from acute respiratory failure. When the patient was alive, her EB type and subtype was not possible to identify, because she had a combination of clinical manifestations typical for various JEB subtypes. Despite such symptoms as hoarse voice, stenoses, granulation tissue of typical location, laryngeal granulations, the girl was steadily gaining weight, with some periods of relative stabilization of the skin disease; she also had longer life longevity than was common for patients with severe generalized JEB. All this made a precise diagnosis difficult. Clinical case No. 2: an ethnic Russian boy with non-classified JEB. Molecular genetic testing helped to identify a homozygote mutation in the LAMA3 gene that had not been previously described; reliable determination of the subtype was not possible. The patient had mixed clinical manifestation similar both to generalized severe JEB and to laryngo-onycho-cutaneous (LOC) syndrome. During his lifetime, the patient was clinically diagnosed with Hallopeau acrodermatitis and LOC syndrome. The differential diagnostic problems were associated with the presence of signs not typical for each of the subtypes. Significant life longevity of the proband is not characteristic for severe generalized JEB (at the time of the publication the patient is 13 years old), whereas for LOC syndrome the absence of eye involvement is not typical, as well as severe laryngeal involvement at adolescence.Conclusion: Detailed descriptions of phenotype of JEB subtypes including rare and minimal clinical signs can be useful to study the clinical manifestations and natural course of the disease, including its differential diagnosis.

Клинические проявления микроскопического полиангиита многообразны, что затрудняет своевременную диагностику и соответственно адекватное лечение. Цель: привлечь внимание терапевтов, пульмонологов, нефрологов к своевременному выявлению легочно-почечного синдрома и установлению его нозологической основы, в частности микроскопического полиангиита на примере клинического случая. Материалы и методы: проведены обследование пациента с микроскопическим полиангиитом и дифференциальная диагностика в рамках легочно-почечного синдрома. Результаты: на основании анамнеза заболевания, результатов клинического и дополнительных методов исследования пациента, установлен диагноз микроскопического полиангиита. Выводы: для ранней диагностики микроскопического полиангиита необходима настороженность при возникновении легочно-почечного синдрома в виде сочетания гломерулонефрита и геморрагического альвеолита на фоне сосудистой пурпуры. Clinical manifestations of microscopic polyangiitis are diverse, which complicates timely diagnosis and, accordingly, adequate treatment. Goal: to draw the attention of therapists, pulmonologists, nephrologists to the timely detection of pulmonary-renal syndrome and the establishment of its nosological basis, in particular microscopic polyangiitis by the example of a clinical case. Materials and methods: an examination of a patient with microscopic polyangiitis and differential diagnosis within the framework of pulmonary-renal syndrome were carried out. Results: based on the anamnesis of the disease, the results of clinical and additional research methods of the patient, the diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis was established. Conclusions: for early diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis, alertness is necessary in the event of pulmonary-renal syndrome in the form of a combination of glomerulonephritis and hemorrhagic alveolitis against the background of vascular purpura.

Pulmonary emphysema belongs to the group of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and inpediatric pulmonology is one of the complex diagnoses that require a careful differential diagnosis. Thearticle describes the possible causes of the formation and clinical manifestations of pulmonaryemphysema in children. We present a clinical case of bullous emphysema in a teenager. This case showsthat a detailed examination using such a modern diagnostic method as high-resolution computedtomography played a crucial role in establishing the patient's correct diagnosis. However, establishing thenature of this pathological process in the child was very difficult. Perhaps an earlier diagnosis couldprevent severe irreversible changes in a teenager's lungs would avoid developing the diffusebronchopulmonary process.

Introduction. Stomach perforations caused by ingested foreign bodies are extremely rare injuries in adults, accounting for less than 1% of all gastrointestinal perforations. The clinical picture is diverse and often presents a diagnostic problem. There are few publications reporting such cases in literature.Materials and methods. Using the example of a clinical case, this paper describes the clinical picture, diagnostic role of X-ray instruments and surgical tactics of diagnosing and treating a stomach perforation concealed by a foreign object, which occurred one week prior to admission. The patient V., 52 yo, was admitted to hospital on an emergency basis in the condition of moderate severity, complaining of abdominal pain for two days. The onset of the disease had no apparent reason. Similar pains had bothered the patient a week earlier the incident but were relieved without treatment.Results and discussion. On the basis of clinical and laboratory-instrumental data, acute pancreatitis was pre-diagnosed. Conservative drug therapy with positive dynamics was started. Two days later, computed tomography of the abdominal organs with intravenous bolus contrast was performed. According to the CT data, a foreign body in the abdominal cavity was identified, which rested on the liver at the level of the gallbladder, perforating the wall of the pyloric department of the stomach. Localized inflammatory effusion in the abdominal fat was observed. The patient was operated and discharged in satisfactory condition.Conclusion. Stomach perforations caused by small-sized foreign bodies are characterized by non-specific clinical manifestations. The use of radiation diagnostic methods facilitates the timely diagnosis and therapy choice in patients with stomach perforations caused by small-sized foreign bodies.

Extrapyramidal disorders are common adverse events in antipsychotic therapy. However, their diagnosis is difficult due to broad differential diagnosis, and often their specific clinical variant is not recognized, and timely intervention is not performed, which leads to severe patient suffering. This affects the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia and leads to their refusal to receive therapy, which aggravates the course of the disease. The article presents a clinical case of a 33-year-old patient at a psychiatric hospital with schizophrenia combined with such rare severe extrapyramidal disorders as antipsychotic-induced tardive dyskinesia and tardive dystonia.The diagnosis was carried out in accordance with the criteria of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10). The intensity of clinical manifestations was assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), and the Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS). Compliance was assessed using the Method for Measuring Medication Adherence in Psychiatry. Detailed differential diagnosis of tardive dyskinesia and tardive dystonia with akathisia and Huntington’s disease was presented. Substantiated treatment strategy and positive clinical dynamics with increased compliance were described.
