Purpose: Orbital haemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare tumor with great histological variability and unpredictable clinical and biological behavior. The precise cell type origin is uncertain.
Method: A case report is provided.
Results: A 24-year-old male patient visited an ophthalmologist because of proptosis, strabismus, and movement limitation of the right eye one year ago. These symptoms worsened rapidly. Histopathology, MRI methods and microscopy coil were applied to study the features of HPC. The tumor was removed and the histological examination revealed that it was a primary HPC of the orbit.
Conclusion: MRI determined the size, location, circumscription, morphological detail, growth pattern, and relationship between masses and surrounding tissues. The genesis location of this HPC was rare, and its internal morphological characters were different from cases reported in the literature. The new type of microscope showed more details of tumor MR image characters objectively.

In recent years, infection has emerged as a main concern in the field of children's public health. This bacterium, known to be a pollutant, can be found in various settings such as hospital wards, equipment, breast milk, nutrient solution, and so on. With its high pathogenicity and toxicity, infection can lead to severe and life-threatening symptoms, particularly in premature infants.

Tailgut cyst is an exceedingly rare congenital anomaly originating from embryonic remnants of the tailgut. Owing to its asymptomatic nature in the early stages, it is prone to clinical misdiagnosis. We present a case of a 55-year-old female with initial symptoms manifesting as sacrococcygeal pain.

Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is exceptionally rare. We present a case of a 41-year-old asymptomatic patient with a large abdominal cystic mass detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, initially suspected to be pseudomyxoma peritonei. Laparoscopic exploration revealed a 30 x 30 cm multilocular cystic tumour originating from the retroperitoneum.

Background: Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is a commonly used antibiotic for the treatment of several infections, such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and in certain cases, septic arthritis. Rhabdomyolysis (RM) is very rare and less than 20 cases have been reported, so far, in the literature, in particular in immunocompromised patients. Here, we report a case of TMP-SMX-induced RM in an immunocompetent patient, adding to the limited data on this association.
