Heck's disease is a familial benign lesion affecting the oral mucosa and skin caused by Human papilloma viruses 13 and 32. This condition is quite rare in the Indian subcontinent and till date less than 10 case reports have been published. Females are predominantly affected. It is important for an oral physician to be aware and possess sufcient knowledge about these lesions as these lesions are highly contagious. Further, the presence of these lesions may indicate an underlying immunodecient state of the patient. This paper reports an unusual case of Heck's disease in a 30 year old Indian male.

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.

Galactocele are the most common benign lesion in lactating breast, whereas crystallizing galactocele are the rare variant. Axillary crystallizing galactocele are extremely rare to see , most commonly occur due to wrong breastfeeding technique. FNAC smear shows variety of crystals along with cysteine like crystals in a background of granular amorphous material or lipid micelles.

Gorham's disease is a rare disorder involving the proliferation of endothelial channels resulting in resorption and disappearance of bone. An unusual case of polyostotic Gorham's disease affecting the scapula, humerus, radius, and ulna in a 39-year-old woman is described. The patient had extensive disease spreading across both the glenohumeral and humeroulnar joints. This is the first report of Gorham's disease spreading across multiple joints in the upper extremity.

Rare Case Report

Heart failure may present with diverse manifestation. It is far most common cause of bilateral transudative pleural effusion. In very unusual case, it may present with only massive transudative pleural effusion without cardiomegaly and other features of heart failure such as leg odema, tender hepatomegaly or congested liver. We presented a case that present with massive transudative pleural effusion with mediastinal lymphadenopathy evidenced by CT scan of chest and treated successfully with diuretics.
