Nodular syphilis with a granulomatous inflammatory histopathologic pattern is an uncommon cutaneous presentation of secondary syphilis which could pose a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and pathologists alike. A 33-year-old male diagnosed with HIV presented with a 5-week history of asymptomatic generalized erythematous papules and nodules with overlying scales, with involvement of the palms and soles. Histopathologic examination of a nodule from the forearm revealed non-caseating granulomas in a background of a mixed cell inflammatory infiltrate composed of lymphocytes, epithelioid and foamy histiocytes, plasma cells, neutrophils, and multinucleated giant cells.

Syngamosis is a disease caused by the strongylid nematode which infects the respiratory tract of various bird species around the world. The parasite appears to be harmful for a wide variety of avian orders, occasionally leading to a fatal outcome, particularly in young birds. The aim of this study was to examine the parasitic fauna in deceased or euthanized, free-ranging white storks nesting at the Zoo Basel in 2019 and 2020; and to assess the extent to which these parasites contributed to the wild birds' death.

Background: Tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis syndrome is a rare disease affecting mainly children and young women. Tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis is a diagnosis of exclusion, requiring a high degree of clinical suspicion. Studies report recent infections or certain drugs as precipitating factors of a lymphocytic oculorenal immune response.

We report necropsy findings in a captive 60-year-old female greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) that died suddenly following rupture of a pulmonary artery aneurysm. Histologically, there was focally extensive, intramural granulomatous inflammation with intralesional fungal hyphae, and adjacent severe mixed-cell inflammation and acute haemorrhage at the rupture site. Aspergillus fumigatus was identified as the aetiological agent following DNA PCR amplification and sequencing from paraffin-embedded pulmonary artery tissue sections.

Purpose: To describe an unusual case of panuveitis in coexisting choroidal melanoma and phacoanaphylaxis.
Methods: Clinical records of the patient with intraocular melanoma and pathologic findings of the affected eye were reviewed. Composition of inflammatory infiltrates involving the tumor and lens was evaluated immunohistochemically.
