Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can present in a number of different ways, including as a primary cutaneous lesion or at various other extranodal sites. However, it is rare for a DLBCL to present as a clinically subcutaneous mass without visible skin changes or nodal involvement. A 36-year-old man presented with a 4×4×1 cm subcutaneous mass to his shoulder with normal overlying skin which had been enlarging over 6 months. Physical exam and imaging together made a strong case for sarcoma, and the patient underwent a radical resection. The final pathological diagnosis returned as a diffuse B-cell lymphoma (germinal centre type). The patient subsequently healed and tolerated chemotherapy well. DLBCL can masquerade as a soft tissue mass at initial presentation. If the diagnosis is not clear, a biopsy should be pursued.

Purpose: Intramuscular acton prolongatum is most often used as an alternative for intramuscular or intravenous tetracosactide for ACTH stimulation in some countries. Intramuscular administration of acton prolongatum is cumbersome whereas intended intramuscular acton prolongatum or tetracosactide may often turn subcutaneous. Hence, we compared the subcutaneous ACTH-stimulated steroid profiling with those of the intramuscular routes.

Hypertension is one of the most common comorbidities in cardiometabolic diseases, affecting nearly one third of adults. As a result, its pathophysiological mechanisms have been studied extensively and are focused around pressure natriuresis, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), the sympathetic nervous system, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction. Additionally, hypertension secondary to other underlying etiologies also exists.

Systemic inflammation and oxidative stress are fundamental contributors to the onset of conditions related to childhood obesity, such as cardiovascular (CV) diseases. We aimed to assess CV risk in childhood obesity by examining sex differences in adiposity indices, cardiometabolic profiles, inflammation, and oxidative stress biomarkers. We also aimed to assess the potential of the interferon-inducible T-cell alpha chemoattractant (I-TAC/CXCL11) as a novel biomarker.

Spiradenoma is a rare benign skin adnexal tumor with unknown incidence and prevalence, typically affecting young to middle-aged adults without a sexual predilection. A 59-year-old woman presented with a palpable lesion in the suprapubic region that had been there for 20 years and had become enlarged over the past 2 months. Physical examination revealed a firm, non-tender, subcutaneous mass, approximately 2 cm in size, in the right pubic region.

Adipose tissue (AT), is a major endocrine organ that plays a key role in health and disease. However, adipose dysfunctions, especially altered energy metabolism, have been under-investigated as white adipocytes have relatively low mitochondrial density. Nevertheless, recent studies suggest that mitochondria could play a major role in AT disorders and that AT mitochondrial activity could depend on adiposity level and location.
