A 47-year-old white male with a history of uveitis, hypercalcemia and nephrolithiasis presented with acute onset partial seizure. On exam he had decreased sensation to light touch on his left lower extremity. A Brain MRI revealed a right frontal mass, which was initially thought to be a metastatic lesion or a primary brain tumor. However, biopsy of the lesion revealed it to be a non-caseating granulomatous lesion consistent with neurosarcoidosis.

A novel variant in the ABCA1 gene for Tangier Disease with diffuse histiocytosis of bone marrow.

Tangier disease is an extremely rare autosomal recessive monogenic disorder caused by mutations in the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 gene (ABCA1). It is characterized by severe deficiency or absence of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA1), with highly variable clinical presentations depending on cholesterol accumulation in macrophages across different tissues. We report a case of a 47-year-old man with very low HDL-C and very high triglyceride levels, initially attributed to the patient's metabolic syndrome, alcohol abuse, and splenomegaly.

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is used for the management of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) not responsive to somatostatin analogs. In this case series, we report two patients with pancreatic vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-secreting NETs (VIPomas) not responsive to any other therapies who achieved symptomatic control and a significant decrease in serum VIP levels with PRRT during their hospital stay. Two patients with VIPomas were admitted to the hospital with multiple prior hospital admissions after going through multiple lines of therapy.

Purpose: To report a case of a diabetic patient undergoing rapid glycemic improvement characterized by the development and resolution of cotton wool spot (CWS), with detailed structural and vascular assessment using wide-field multimodal imaging, including wide-field color fundus photography and wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Observations: A 47-year-old man with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus developed CWS in his right eye 3 months after initiating insulin therapy, which coincided with a significant reduction in HbA1c levels. Wide-field color fundus photography and wide-field OCTA were performed before, during, and after CWS appeared.

Introduction: Progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus (PERM) is characterized by brainstem symptoms, muscle rigidity, and myoclonus. While autoantibodies to inhibitory neurons have been associated with the pathology, about 30% of cases are negative for autoantibodies. There are few reported cases of antibody-negative PERM and its clinical course and prognosis are unknown.

Lung cancer exhibits a diverse array of morphological manifestations and molecular changes, significantly influencing patient diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment strategies. We present the case of a 47-year-old man with a history of smoking, who presented to the emergency room with a 12-month history of haemoptysis. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a mass in the right upper lobe of the lung and bilateral lung nodules.
