We report a child with persistent fevers, arthritis, and parvoviral infection who subsequently developed unilateral orbital pseudotumor, lytic bone lesions, bilateral anterior uveitis, band keratopathy, and migratory polyarthritis. Our working diagnosis was systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, although pseudotumor of the orbit and lytic bone lesions are not found in this disease.

Purpose: This study investigates the capabilities of ultrasonography (US) in determing the stage of orbital inflammation in patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).
Material And Methods: The study included 24 patients (8 men and 16 women) with diffuse orbital tissue involvement in GPA. Group 1 (active stage) included nine patients, while group 2 (inactive stage) consisted of 18 patients.

Objectives: To evaluate the value of deep-learning-based intratumoral and peritumoral features for differentiating ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) and idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI).
Methods: Nighty-seven patients with histopathologically confirmed OAL (n = 43) and IOI (n = 54) were randomly divided into training (n = 79) and test (n = 18) groups. DL-based intratumoral and peritumoral features were extracted to characterize the differences in heterogeneity and tissue invasion between different lesions, respectively.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disease with many important manifestations in hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue. IgG4 is the least naturally abundant IgG subclass, and the hallmark feature of IgG4-RD is markedly increased IgG4-positive plasma cells (with an IgG4 to IgG ratio >40%) in affected tissue, along with elevated polyclonal serum IgG and IgG4 in most patients. Histological diagnosis is essential, and other key features include storiform fibrosis, lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, tissue eosinophilia, and obliterative phlebitis.

Article Synopsis
- - A 22-year-old male experienced progressive swelling and vision loss in his right eye over a month, but displayed no systemic symptoms that would indicate an infection or illness.
- - Imaging suggested benign conditions, but blood tests revealed hematological issues that led to a bone marrow biopsy, confirming acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a favorable genetic marker.
- - After starting chemotherapy, the patient showed significant improvement in his eye symptoms and vision, highlighting the need for awareness of potential blood cancers in young patients with unexplained eye issues.

Invasive aspergillosis is a rare but severe fungal infection primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals. The Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has introduced new complexities in managing aspergillosis due to the widespread use of corticosteroids for treating COVID-19-related respiratory distress, which can increase susceptibility to fungal infections. Here, we present a challenging case of progressive cerebral aspergillosis complicated by cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) in a 67-year-old male with a history of COVID-19.
