A 67-year-old male who underwent right radical nephrectomy 15 years prior to current diagnosis for pT2bN0M0 ccRCC presented with an isolated purulent ulcer on left foot. Data was collected from records, radiological scans and histological reviews. The non-healing ulcer did not respond to antibiotic therapy and surgical debridement. Biopsy and histology confirmed a ccRCC metastasis. Late cutaneous ulcer is an aggressive and rare presentation of ccRCC metastasis. Awareness of a non-healing skin ulcer on a background history of ccRCC is important in order to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

Introduction: Fabry disease (FD) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder that is associated with pain and progressive damage to the renal, cardiac, and cerebrovascular systems. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is one of the treatment options for FD and the most recently approved ERT agent, pegunigalsidase alfa, has shown clinical efficacy in three phase 3 clinical trials of adults with FD: BALANCE, BRIDGE, and BRIGHT. Recent published guidelines support the mapping of health utility state data to the EuroQol-5 Dimension-3 Level (EQ-5D-3L) index to align with the preferred methodology used by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Purpose Of Review: Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare and heterogeneous form of inflammatory heart disease that can present with a wide range of severity. Current literature is limited to case reports or small case series that outline the evaluation process, disease course, and the nonstandardized treatments trialed.

Neurological features such as cerebral ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, epilepsy, and intellectual disability are frequent manifestations of PS. To date, six genes have been reported to cause PS, and nearly 100 families have been identified worldwide with this syndrome.
