Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the presence of contracture and joint pain, hyperpigmented plaques and nodules and gingival hypertrophy. These findings are the result of the accumulation of a hyaline amorphous material similar to collagen type VI in different tissues. This syndrome includes systemic hyalinosis and juvenile hyaline fibromatosis, two entities that for years were considered separately. However, it has been documented that the cause of both entities is located in the same gene and the clinical features and age of presentation are overlapped. In this study two cases of sisters from a same colombian family affected by the disease are presented.

Desmoid tumours, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, are rare tumours derived from mesenchymal stem cells, accounting for only 0.03 % of all tumours. While 85-90 % of cases are sporadic, desmoid tumours can occasionally be associated with Gardner syndrome (or Familial Adenomatous Polyposis), which is linked to variants in the tumour suppressor gene, APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene on chromosome 5.

Article Synopsis
- - Amelogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder that affects the enamel of teeth, which can lead to problems in both baby and adult teeth, sometimes linked with other health issues.
- - A rare condition called enamel renal syndrome occurs when amelogenesis imperfecta is found alongside kidney stones, which complicates diagnosis due to unclear criteria.
- - The case of a 12-year-old boy with tooth discoloration and kidney stones highlights the importance of thorough medical evaluations to avoid serious complications from these conditions.
Background: Desmoid tumors can cause morbidity due to local invasion, potentially being fatal when fast growth compromises vital structures. In this context, a timely treatment response is required. This study aims to compare the activity of sorafenib and anthracycline-containing regimens during the first year of treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency can lead to diseases like constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome and Lynch syndrome (LS), both linked to various tumors, including brain cancers, mainly affecting adults but with some pediatric cases.
- A study from hospitals in Hong Kong identified five patients with MMR gene mutations, revealing that four had CMMRD syndrome with various brain tumors and one had LS associated with a medulloblastoma at age 10.
- The study noted that all CMMRD patients had café-au-lait macules (CALMs) since birth, and highlighted the challenges in diagnosing CMMRD due to similarities with other syndromes, emphasizing the need for better clinical differentiation of CALM-related genetic
