Background: Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare benign proliferative disorder of the synovium. It rarely occurs in adolescents, particularly in immature patients with bilateral manifestation.

Case Presentation: We present a case of atypical and bilateral PVNS of wrist in a 14-year-old boy. Initially, the patient presented with left wrist pain and swelling without the history of trauma. Physical examination revealed an obvious lesion in the dorsal part of left wrist. Radiographs, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple abnormal signal shadows and arthroedema in the left wrist. Arthroscopy operation was performed, and histologic examination suggested the diagnosis of PVNS. Only 10 months later, the patient presented with the similar symptoms and signs in the right wrist. But MIR and histologic examination were atypical. In this article, we also review and summarize 26 studies on 30 adolescent patients with PVNS.

Conclusions: This study provides an example of atypical and bilateral PVNS in adolescents.

Keratoconus is a bilateral eye anomaly in which the cornea develops gradually, becoming steeper and thinner, causing irregular astigmatism and myopia. This unique case report highlights an atypical retinoscopic reflex that can be observed in the initial stages of keratoconus. While the reflex deviates subtly from the normal form, exhibiting a slightly distorted, irregular, and non-scissoring pattern, it differs significantly from the well-documented "scissor reflex," which is characteristic of moderate to advanced stages.

Background: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is characterized by aberrant calcification of elastic tissues throughout the body causing varying degrees of skin, cardiac, and ocular disease. Although PXE is classically regarded as an autosomal recessive disease, recent reports have demonstrated a haploinsufficiency phenotype, in which carriers of monoallelic ATP-binding cassette transporter () gene mutations demonstrate mild manifestations of PXE. In this case report, we describe a patient with a monoallelic mutation and atypical angioid streaks.

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic illness. Blood testing for tissue transglutaminase antibodies is the initial screening test for the diagnosis of CD, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and duodenal/jejunal biopsy are used to confirm CD. Intussusception (IS) is the process in which a proximal segment of the bowel invaginates through the lumen of a distal segment.
