AI Article Synopsis
- Penile sclerosing granuloma is a reaction to foreign substances injected for genital enhancement, often resulting in patients denying such procedures.
- A case study of a 62-year-old man revealed a growth diagnosed as sclerosing lipogranuloma after dermoscopic examination and biopsy, highlighting his admission to self-injecting motor oil.
- This study provides the first detailed dermoscopic description of sclerosing granuloma, possibly enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and introduces a unique dermoscopic rainbow pattern linked to 'dichroism' in granulomatous conditions.
Article Abstract
Penile sclerosing granuloma is a foreign body reaction to the injection of material, usually for genital augmentation purposes. Patients commonly deny having had or performed these procedures on themselves, and diagnosis can be challenging. We describe the case of a 62-year-old man with a 10-year history of a growth on the penile shaft. Dermoscopic examination showed an orange background with shiny white structures, suggesting a granulomatous pathology. Guided biopsies confirmed a sclerosing lipogranuloma. The patient admitted to having self-injected motor oil. For the first time, we report the dermoscopic description of sclerosing granuloma, which will improve clinical diagnostic precision and guide biopsies. We also contribute the first description of a dermoscopic rainbow pattern in a granulomatous disorder; this could be due to a physical phenomenon called 'dichroism'.

Article Synopsis
- Management of relapsing pericarditis can be challenging, especially when patients do not respond to typical medical treatments, making surgical options like pericardiectomy a potential solution.
- The case involves a 41-year-old woman who experienced persistent acute pericarditis after talc pleurodesis for recurrent pneumothorax and did not benefit from several medications, ultimately requiring surgery.
- Following an anterior pericardiectomy, where foreign body granulomas were found, the patient recovered without pain, indicating that surgical intervention can be effective for this condition, although talc-induced pericarditis is not commonly documented in medical literature.
Article Synopsis
- Sclerosing oleogranuloma of the penis is a rare, benign condition resulting from the injection of foreign substances for penile augmentation, leading to painful lesions and quality of life issues in affected males.
- Diagnosis involves patient history, physical examination, and histological analysis, while treatment typically requires surgical excision followed by reconstruction.
- A clinical case detailing the one-stage Sapozhkov-Reich procedure was performed on a 21-year-old man to address a giant oleogranuloma with multiple lesions and ulceration.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are closely associated disease entities that, when present in combination, create a phenotypically different summative disease referred to as PSC-IBD. The hallmark of Crohn's disease is persistent inflammation that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal system, from the mouth to the anus, although the terminal ileum and proximal colon are most frequently affected. Crohn's disease can sporadically impact the duodenum and stomach.

Article Synopsis
- - This study focused on analyzing 12 cases of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive inflammatory follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (EBV + IFDCS) to understand its clinical and pathological features, which are not fully described.
- - Patients ranged in age from 21 to 84 years, with a predominance of females, and all were alive at the last follow-up despite some experiencing recurrence or metastasis; various subtypes were identified within the cases.
- - The study revealed significant differences in marker expressions between EBV + IFDCS and traditional follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS), along with unique genetic mutations and variations that were observed, contributing to a better understanding of this rare condition
