Erythema migrans necrolytica is a red, blistering rash that spreads over the skin. It particularly affects the skin around the mouth and distal extremities, but can also be found on the lower abdomen, buttocks, perineum and groin. It is strongly associated with glucagonoma, a glucagon-producing tumor of the pancreas, but is also seen in a number of other conditions, including liver disease and intestinal malabsorption such as celiac disease. We present a case of a patient with a history of poorly followed celiac disease presenting with a clinical picture of ENM. This rare case adds to our understanding of the clinical presentation of NME, as well as highlights the importance of acting in a timely manner to avoid the most redoubtful complications.

Background: Keratoderma is a group of conditions characterized by hyperkeratosis affecting the skin on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands bilaterally. The classification of keratodermas depends on whether it is inherited or acquired and on its clinical features, including diffuse or focal involvement of the skin and the morphology of lesions present. Case Report: We describe the rare case of a 54-year-old female who presented with a nearly 40-year history of punctate keratoderma on her right palm and sole. History taking revealed that her biologic son also has unilateral left-sided keratoderma. The clinical presentation of unilateral keratoderma has been reported only four times in the literature.

Allergic Mucin

Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) is a distinct clinical pathologic entity that has been recognized for over a decade. The hallmark of this process is eosinophilic allergic mucin with fungal hyphae on histopathology. We have identified a subset of patients who present with a clinical picture similar to that of AFS patients in which fungus could not be demonstrated pathologically or on culture. We present four cases of allergic mucin sinusitis without fungus. A comparison of the clinical presentation of this group of patients with those with AFS will be discussed. Both groups had nasal polyposis and a history of multiple sinonasal procedures. By contrast, the patients with allergic mucin sinusitis were older than the AFS group. All of the patients with allergic mucin sinusitis also had asthma. Treatment was the same for both groups of patients.

ABSTRACT Scrotal cystocele is a type of urinary bladder hernia, where the bladder herniates into the scrotum. They are not common and constitute to less than 4% of the hernias and bear a gender predilection toward males with history of lower urinary tract symptoms. Clinical presentation usually varies with some being asymptomatic while others present with intermittent scrotal swellings and voiding problems. We report the case of a 55-year-old asymptomatic individual who came with incidentally detected hydroureteronephrosis. Nonenhancing spiral computed tomography revealed large scrotal swelling with bilateral inguinal hernia. The bladder was seen herniating on the right while the colon was the content of the left.

Isolated polycystic liver disease is a rare disorder. Majority of the patients with isolated polycystic liver disease are asymptomatic with incidental detection of liver cysts on imaging studies done for other purposes. Minority of patients develop symptoms which are mostly secondary to enlarging cysts size and hepatomegaly. Rarely, these patients develop portal hypertension and can present with its clinical manifestations and consequences in the form acute variceal bleeding or recurrent ascites. We present a rare case of 67-year-old female patient with significant history of polycystic liver disease who presented to the hospital with recurrent hematemesis and melena. She underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy which showed multiple large esophageal varices requiring banding.

Diagnostic Pitfalls

We present a case of a 20-year-old male with a rare form of malignant lung cancer. The patient had a long history of respiratory symptoms that have been repeatedly treated as a pulmonary infection. Despite several hints of the ineffectiveness of the therapy, the diagnosis and definitive surgical treatment were made 4 months after the onset of symptoms. Our aim is to highlight the importance of an efficient diagnostic process within multidisciplinary discussion and to warn clinicians on potential pitfalls related to unusual clinical presentation.
