An unusual case of triple location (skull, patella and thigh) Cryptococcus neoformans is described. The peculiarity of the case is based on the probability of direct post-traumatic bone inoculation, subsequent seeding from skull to patella, thigh and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), patella involvement, lack of evidence of lung involvement and lack of predisposing underlying disease. The response to surgery and a combination of amphotericin B and 5-flucytosine administration was favorable without relapse at follow-up after 7-year discontinuation of therapy.

Article Synopsis
- Patellar fracture and dental anomaly syndrome (PADS) is a congenital bone disease in cats that leads to bone fractures and dental issues, primarily affecting the patella and teeth.
- The study involved 13 domestic shorthair cats with PADS, showing a high incidence of osteomyelitis, especially in the mandible, occurring within the first four years of life.
- Effective treatment for PADS in cats includes early surgical intervention for osteomyelitis and extraction of problematic teeth to improve clinical outcomes.

Sex prediction from bone measurements that display sexual dimorphism is one of the most important aspects of forensic anthropology. Some bones like the skull and pelvis display distinct morphological traits that are based on shape. These morphological traits which are sexually dimorphic across different population groups have been shown to provide an acceptably high degree of accuracy in the prediction of sex.

Giant cell tumor (GCT), also known as osteoclastoma, is a locally aggressive benign tumor arising in the epiphysis of bone. It accounts for 3%-8% of all bone tumors. About 75%-90% of GCTs occur in long tubular bones with more than 50% arising in the distal femur and proximal tibia.

Intraosseous hemangiomas are extremely rare and benign neoplasms of vascular origin, usually occurring in adults and involving skull bones, vertebra, ribs, sternum, long bones, patella and clavicle. Iliac or pelvic bone involvement is extremely rare. Hemangiomas of the marrow spaces are extremely uncommon.

Sex estimation is essential for forensic scientists to identify human skeletal remains. However, the most sexually dimorphic elements like pelvis or skull are not always assessable. Osteometric analyses have proven useful in sex estimation, but also to be population specific.
