Introduction And Importance: Bone hydatidosis is a rare parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus, with a frequency of 1-2 %, it has a high morbidity and mortality rate due to its long clinical latency and lack of symptomatic specificity. This often leads to delayed diagnosis and discovery, usually at the stage of complications.

Case Presentation: We present a case of sacral hydatidosis in a 71-year-old patient with no prior medical history.

Tibial exostosis, also known as osteochondroma, is a common benign bone tumor found predominantly in adolescents and young adults. Vascular complications associated with this tumor, such as arterial occlusion and pseudoaneurysm formation, are rare but can lead to significant morbidity if not promptly diagnosed and managed. We present a case of a 25-year-old patient who presented with thrombosis of the left popliteal vein and a painless swelling in the popliteal fossa.

Giant cell tumors of the synovial tendon sheaths (GCTSTS) are a localized form of hemopigmented villonodular synovitis. They mainly affect the hands. This study aims to analyse the epidemiology, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of GCTSTS, to assess the results of surgical treatment and to identify risk factors for recurrences.
