We present a patient with multiple leiomyomas confined to the left cheek, giving rise to an unusual clinical presentation of this condition. The lesions were cosmetically disfiguring and, because of their exposed location, were particularly painful in the winter months. The treatment of this condition is discussed.

Uterine Smooth Muscle Tumor of Undetermined Malignant Potential (STUMP): A Diagnostic Challenge.
Cureus
November 2024
Medical Oncology, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Smooth muscle tumors of the uterus vary from benign leiomyomas to malignant leiomyosarcomas, with STUMP representing a challenging gray area of tumors with uncertain malignant potential.
- A case study is presented of a 52-year-old woman with severe menorrhagia, diagnosed with STUMP after a hysteroscopy and biopsy, which raised concerns about the possibility of leiomyosarcoma.
- The patient underwent a radical hysterectomy, where the final diagnosis remained STUMP, and has since been on regular follow-up without any recurrence, highlighting the rarity of STUMP presenting as a uterine polyp.
Rapid identification of primary atopic disorders (PAD) by a clinical landmark-guided, upfront use of genomic sequencing.
Allergol Select
October 2024
Center for Child and Adolescent Health, Helios Hospital Krefeld, Academic Hospital of RWTH Aachen, Krefeld.
Article Synopsis
- Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
- Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
- Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.
Article Synopsis
- A 32-year-old man suffered from painful swellings and skin plaques for 11 years, with no family history of similar issues.
- Histopathological examination confirmed he had cutaneous leiomyoma (CL), a rare skin tumor that resembles plexiform neurofibroma.
- The diagnosis highlighted the importance of thorough screening for complications like renal cancer, especially in areas with limited medical resources.

Introduction And Importance: A cervical stump fibroid is a rare type of leiomyoma (fibroid) that occurs in the remaining cervical tissue following a subtotal hysterectomy. In this procedure the uterus is removed but the cervix is left intact. Cervical stump fibroids are quite rare, with studies indicating that they occur in less than 1 % of women who have undergone subtotal hysterectomy.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a bleeding from the uterine corpus that is abnormal in regularity, volume, frequency or duration. It encompasses heavy menstrual bleeding, irregular menstrual bleeding and intermenstrual bleeding, which are common symptoms among women of reproductive age, impacting their overall well-being. Menstruation involves interactions between endometrial epithelial and stromal cells, immune cell influx, and changes in endometrial vasculature.
