Diffuse giant cell tumours of the tendon sheaths are described in the literature as locally aggressive soft-tissue tumours. We report the case of a 56-year-old male with a history of multiple surgical procedures for a giant cell tumour of the fibular tendon sheath at the right ankle. The multiple recurrences prompted monitoring by positron-emission tomography, which showed lung tumours. Biopsies confirmed that the tumours were metastases from the giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath. In patients with recurrent and/or diffuse giant cell tumour, positron-emission tomography is an effective monitoring tool.

This review will describe various disease processes resulting in pulmonary vasculitis. The clinical and imaging findings in these diseases often overlap with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage secondary to pulmonary capillaritis, a common manifestation in many of these diseases. A multidisciplinary approach is important for the correct diagnosis of these diseases, and this review will highlight the important imaging findings that radiologists need to be aware of to aid in this diagnostic process.

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are versatile cell models in biomedical and environmental research. Of the various GUV production methods, hydrogel-assisted GUV production is most easily implemented in a typical biological laboratory. To date, agarose, polyvinyl alcohol, cross-linked dextran-PEG, polyacrylamide, and starch hydrogels have been used to produce GUVs.

Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma (MCAH) is a rare benign cutaneous entity. It classically presents as slowly progressive erythematous to violaceous papules on the distal extremities of middle-aged or elderly women. The entity may clinically resemble granuloma annulare, lichen planus, and several cutaneous vascular proliferations.
