Background; Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Acid-Fast Bacilli/AFB) that still be a world burden. Extra Pulmonary TB occurred when there were infection and development of Mycobacterium tuberculosis outside lungs, which about 10% cases was Milliary TB. There will be reported case with Lung TB New Case coexistence with Multiple Extra Pulmonary TB. Case; A female, 39 y.o., came to the Soetomo General Teaching Hospital with chief complaint body weakness since 12 months ago following with cough, decrease of appetite, decrease of body weight, low grade fever, and night sweating. The cough was on and off, not productive, and didn`t improve with usual therapy. Her other complaint were painless mass at the left supraclavicular area, swollen and pain at the right knee, and pain at the backbones. Patient had subsequently given Anti Tuberculosis Drugs (ATD) with Streptomycin injection based on clinical judgement. Discussion;  In several cases, Primary Focus as the result of AFB infection in the lung can spread to the other organs. The diagnosis had been made from comprehensive summary of clinical aspects, radiology data, laboratory data, and Histopathology data. Consideration of ATD choice based on grouping of TB diseases (Pulmonary/Extra Pulmonary), severity level of Extra Pulmonary TB and clinical judgement Conclusion; Had reported female patient diagnosed with Lung TB New Case, Osteomyelitis TB, Spondilitis TB, and Lymphadenitis TB. Based on therapeutic evaluation there was improvement condition of the patient after administration of ATD and injection of Streptomycin.

Introduction. Castleman’s disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder. CD is divided into two clinical subtypes: the most common unicentric and the less usual multicentric subtype. The majority of unicentric CD affects the mediastinum, while neck, abdomen, and axilla are less common locations.Case Presentation. Herein, we describe a rare case of unicentric CD in the right axilla in a 36-year-old white male with a medical history of hepatitis C virus infection admitted to our hospital due to palpation of a painless mass in the right axilla. Complete excision of the lesion was performed and, one year after the diagnosis, patient was free of the disease.Conclusions. Although infrequent, it is important to include CD in the differential diagnosis when evaluating axillary lymphadenopathy particularly in young patients with a low-grade inflammation process and chronic disease even in the absence of an abnormal blood picture or organomegaly.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) in extra-pulmonary organs, such as bone and joint TB, has an incidence rate of 19% of the cases and represents 11-15% of all extra-pulmonary TB. The predilection of bones and joints is the most common predilection with more than 10% of the cases. Gonitis TB is a monoarthritis, chronic progressive, and intermittent disease. Hematogenous spreads through synovial or subchondral or as a focus in the juxta-articular bone. The spread can also occur indirectly from osseous lesions of the epiphyseal bone in adults or metaphysis in children, which causes erosion in the joint space and becomes arthritis.Case: A 19-year-old female with a chief complaint of swelling in the right knee joint accompanied by pain and difficulty in the legs to move and straighten the body. Another complaint was cough with whitish sputum, fever and night sweating, decreased appetite, and loss of body weight. Radiological chest X-ray showed fibro-infiltrates in both hemithoraces and radiological of the right genu, impression like joint effusion and mass density opacity in the popliteal, and suspicious abscess in the soft tissue. GeneXpert MTB/RIF examination of genu tissue and sputum: medium  Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.Tb) was detected, rifampicin sensitive. Histopathology from the open biopsy showed the tissue consisted of epitheloid-shaped histiocyte cells forming granulomas. Ziehl Neelsen staining of the tissue obtained acid-fast bacillus (AFB).Conclussion: Gonitis TB is a hematogenous spread of M.Tb from infection with a deep primary focus on the joint that is chronic progressive and generally affects one joint. The management can be done by administering anti-tuberculosis and clinical monitoring.

Introduction A liposarcoma is a rare cancer of connective tissues that resemble fat cells under light microscopy. Case History A 73-year old female patient presented to our tertiary cancer centre with an eight-year history of a large, slow-growing painless mass in the right axilla. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a lipomatous, well-circumscribed mass of dimension 30 × 16 × 10cm extending towards the right clavicle and causing deformation to the right chest wall and right breast. Surgery revealed a large tumour that had stretched all three cords of the brachial plexus. Histopathology was consistent with a diagnosis of a low-grade liposarcoma. After a period of neuropraxia, the patient returned to normal activities 4 months after surgery. Conclusions Although extremely rare, low-grade liposarcomas of the brachial plexus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a slow-growing axillary mass. Referral to a tertiary sarcoma centre is essential for an appropriate diagnosis, adequate treatment, and long-term follow-up.

Chapter 89 reviews musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB), which is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Extrapulmonary TB is seen in 20% of all TB cases. Musculoskeletal TB accounts for 1-3% of tuberculous infections. The most common musculoskeletal presentation is TB spondylitis followed by TB infectious arthritis, osteomyelitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis, and Poncet disease. Hematogenous dissemination of the organism from a visceral primary focus (lungs, kidneys, lymph nodes) to the musculoskeletal system is the most common pathway, but lymphatic spread or direct inoculation can also occur. Clinical findings are variable. Generally patients have low-grade fevers, night sweets, weight loss, anorexia, and malaise. Although radiography should be the initial imaging modality in evaluation of disease, MRI is the best modality in evaluation of musculoskeletal TB.

Abstract Background/Aims  A 49-year-old female of Nepalese heritage was referred with right-sided headache, scalp tenderness, and a painful swelling overlying the right temple. She denied any visual or claudicant symptoms but felt systemically unwell with a fever. There were no symptoms suggestive of an inflammatory arthritis, underlying connective tissue disease or vasculitis. She was normally fit and well with no past medical history. She did not take any regular medications and denied using over the counter or illicit drugs or recent travel. On review she had a low grade fever. There was a large tender, erythematous swelling overlying the right temple. Bilaterally the temporal arteries were palpable and pulsatile. Peripheral pulses were normal with no bruits. There was no evidence of shingles (HSV) or local infection. Full systemic examination revealed no other abnormalities. Laboratory tests showed: PV 2.56, CRP 101, total white cell count 14.38 (eosinophils 0.4), albumin 33, Hb 115. Urine dip was normal. Renal function, liver function and immunoglobulins were normal. ANCA was negative. Hypoechogenicity surrounding the right frontal branch of the right temporal artery was seen on ultrasound. There were no discrete masses suggestive of cysts, abscess or tumours. Temporal artery biopsy confirmed the presence of vasculitis; histology demonstrated transmural lymphohistiocytic inflammation, disruption of the elastic lamina and intimal proliferation. Prednisolone was started at 40mg daily. Four weeks after initially presenting she was asymptomatic and her inflammatory markers had normalised. Methods  The case is discussed below. Results  Temporal arteritis, or GCA, is primarily a disease of older adults; with age 50 often used as an inclusion criteria, and is more common in Caucasian populations. Limited reports exist of GCA in younger cohorts, but these are rare. An important differential in younger patients, such as ours, is juvenile temporal arteritis. This rare localised vasculitis affects almost exclusively the temporal artery. It is typically a disease of young males, who present with non-tender temporal swelling. Systemic symptoms are unusual and inflammatory markers are normal. Clinical or laboratory evidence of organ involvement, peripheral eosinophilia or fibrinoid necrosis on histology should prompt consideration of an AAV or PAN. Incidence of GCA increases in correlation with Northern latitude, with highest rates reported in Scandinavian and North American populations. GCA is rare in Asian populations. Higher diagnostic rates in countries where physicians have increased awareness of GCA proposed as an explanation for this difference; however differences in incidence are still observed between Asian and Caucasian populations presenting to the same healthcare providers. Conclusion  GCA is an uncommon diagnosis in younger and non-Caucasian patients. Thorough investigation through ultrasound and biopsy helped increase our diagnostic confidence in this unusual case. Rheumatologists must be alert to atypical presentations in order to deliver prompt and potentially sight-saving treatment. Disclosure  J. Ellis: None. K. Austin: None. S. Emerson: None.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Ectopic breast tissue (EBT) is a well-documented anomaly of the breast and commonly presents along the embryonic milk line extending between the axilla and groin. Reported incidence of accessory breast is 0.4–6% in females. Pathologies developing in an EBT are reported as a rare entity in the literature. Carcinoma is reported as the common pathology followed by inflammation and fibroadenoma Methods We present a case of 43-year- old female who presented with a painless mass in her right groin for the past year which gradually increased in size. CT abdomen pelvis with contrast showed a 2.2 x 3.0 x 4.4 cm superficial soft tissue mass in the right groin which was suspected to be a lymph node. Further investigation and histopathological report of biopsy showed ectopic breast tissue with admixed chronic inflammation and reactive changes.However, excision of the mass three months later showed showed proloferation of both glandular and stromal elements. Results The tissue from the biopsy was positive for GATA 3, mammoglobin, GCDFP and CD 10 and the histological features on excision was confirmatory of fibroadenoma. Conclusion In conclusion, when tumors or nodules are found along the mammary line, the presence of breast tissue should be considered during the investigation. It is clinically wise to evaluate and screen carefully cases of supernumerary breast for any pathology and for any associated urogenital anomalies such as supernumerary kidneys, polycystic kidneys and renal cell adenocaricnoma. In our case, patient had no associated urogenital anomalies and she is on follow up.

Objective: Takayasu arteritis is a rare granulomatous chronic vasculitis that affects the aorta and its main branches. Neurologic manifestations can accompany the disease; however, there is no study on neuroimaging in children with Takayasu arteritis. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in pediatric Takayasu arteritis patients. Materials and Methods: Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were obtained retrospectively. Results: The study included 15 pediatric Takayasu arteritis patients. All patients presented with constitutional symptoms. Additionally, 6 patients suffered from headache, 2 had syncope, 1 had loss of consciousness, and 1 had convulsion. All patients underwent cranial and diffusion MRI a median 12 months after diagnosis. Cranial MRI findings were normal in 12 patients, whereas 3 patients had abnormal findings, as follows: stenosis in the M1 and M2 segments of the left middle cerebral artery (n = 1); diffuse thinning of the right internal carotid, middle cerebral, and right vertebral and basilar artery (n = 1); as a sequela, areas of focal gliosis in both the lateral ventricular and posterior periventricular regions (n = 1). Among these 3 patients, 1 had no neurologic complaints. Conclusion: Abnormal MRI findings can be observed in pediatric Takayasu arteritis patients, even those that are asymptomatic; therefore, clinicians should carefully evaluate neurologic involvement in all pediatric Takayasu arteritis patients.
