Severe hypophosphataemia following denosumab administration successfully managed using a calcimimetic agent.

Denosumab, an anti-RANKL antibody, induces bone metabolism to a low-turnover bone status by arresting osteoclast activity. Frequent adverse events include infusion reactions, fever and hypocalcaemia but not hypophosphataemia. We report a case of severe hypophosphataemia associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism following denosumab administration in a young boy with recurrent osteosarcoma who was successfully treated with evocalcet.

Challenges in the management of Turner syndrome with Y chromosome material: a case report of prophylactic gonadectomy revealing dysgerminoma.

Turner syndrome (TS) patients with Y chromosome material face an increased risk of gonadal germ cell tumors (GCTs). This case report discusses the challenges in decision-making regarding prophylactic gonadectomy, considering the risk of malignancy and the desire to preserve fertility. We report a case of a 12-year-old female with mosaic TS and Y chromosome material who initially presented with short stature and obesity.

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Ameliorated Asymptomatic Granulomatous and Lymphocytic Interstitial Lung Disease in a Patient With XIAP Deficiency.

X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) deficiency is an inborn error of immunity (IEI). Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is currently the only curative therapy available for XIAP deficiency. Granulomatous and lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) is a common immune-related lung complication of IEIs.

Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis syndrome due to lysinuric protein intolerance: a patient with a novel compound heterozygous pathogenic variant in SLC7A7.

Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) (MIM#222700) is a rare autosomal recessive defect in bibasic amino acid transport caused by pathogenic variants in solute carrier family 7 member 7 gene ( SLC7A7). The symptoms begin after weaning from breast milk and include refusal of feeding, vomiting, and consequent failure to thrive. Some metabolic disorders, including LPI, are complicated by hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH); however, the frequency of HLH caused by inborn errors of metabolism is very rare in the HLH cohort.

Refractory Extracutaneous Juvenile Xanthogranuloma With Multiple Intracranial Nodular Lesions Successfully Treated With 2-Chlorodeoxyadenosine.

Juvenile xanthogranulomatosis (JXG) is a rare histiocytic disease that is usually limited to the skin, but some JXG cases involve other organs. JXG involving the central nervous system (CNS) is rare and its treatment is inadequate. The optimum treatment for refractory JXG involving the CNS remains unknown.

Prospective Study of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation with Post-Transplantation Cyclophosphamide and Antithymocyte Globulin from HLA-Mismatched Related Donors for Nonmalignant Diseases.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is performed as a curative treatment for children with nonmalignant diseases, such as bone marrow failure syndromes and primary immunodeficiencies. Because graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) is a major factor affecting survival probability and quality of life after HSCT, the availability of HLA-matched donors restricts the application of HSCT. Recently, HSCT with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has emerged as a potent method to prevent GVHD after HSCT from HLA-haploidentical donors, and some studies have suggested the safety of PTCy-HSCT for nonmalignant diseases.
