Common skin warts frequently appear on the fingers of children, a patient population in whom finger-sucking is a prevalent habit. Despite overlap between these two pediatric conditions, there are no well-reported specific precautions against the use of topical blistering wart treatments, such as trichloroacetic acid and cantharidin, in finger-sucking children with warts. We report the case of oral ulcers in a pediatric patient secondary to thumb-sucking after receiving treatment for multiple finger warts with combination cryotherapy, trichloroacetic acid, and cantharidin.

Lip ulcers associated with endotracheal tube fixation are a known complication in adults, but their prevalence in neonates and preterm infants remains unclear. We report a case of a right oral commissure ulcer that developed during endotracheal tube fixation at the right oral commissure and left lateral decubitus positioning in an extremely preterm infant with unilateral pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE). A male infant was born at 24 weeks and four days of gestation, weighing 696 gm.

Background: Leptomeningeal metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma (LM-GC) is a rare and severe complication with a poor prognosis, its prognosis is significantly poorer than liver, lung, and peritoneal metastases. Studies on LM-GC have been limited to clinical case reports. Despite advances in systemic therapies, there is a lack of standardized treatment protocols for LM-GC due to its rarity and the challenges it presents.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self-limiting, and ultimately benign condition characterised by localised lymphadenopathy. The association of KFD with aseptic meningitis is even more uncommon. We report a case of KFD accompanied by aseptic meningitis in a 31-year-old male who initially presented with lethargy, night sweats, axillary lymphadenopathy, and oral ulcers.
