We present a challenging case of a 45-year-old female diagnosed with an EWS of the sphenoidal and the right nasal fossa.

Head and neck involvement is relatively infrequent, with the masseter muscle being the most commonly affected site. We present a rare case of intramuscular hemangiomas arising from the semispinalis muscle.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares the effectiveness of highly conformal radiotherapy (HC-RT) and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-RT) in treating children with post-operative flank radiotherapy for renal tumors.
  • A total of 79 patients participated, with similar rates of locoregional failure (LRF) observed in both treatment groups, suggesting HC-RT does not increase LRF risk compared to 3D-RT.
  • HC-RT demonstrated better dose delivery and reduced acute gastrointestinal toxicity, making it a more effective option for minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding organs.

Drug-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis is an uncommon complication in patients on anti-tuberculosis therapy that can lead to permanent kidney damage. Rifampicin is the most offending drug. We report a case of a 41-years old man being treated for pulmonary tuberculosis and presenting with tubulointerstitial nephritis associated with rifampicin.
