Published: November 2021

A 4.5-year-old domestic longhaired cat with a history of psychogenic alopecia and self-trauma exhibited progressive, severe, and extensive nodular and draining lesions on the ventral abdomen. Euthanasia was elected. A diagnosis of the rare skin disease, staphylococcal granuloma, was subsequently made based upon postmortem and histopathology findings.

Aims: Hepatic inflammatory pseudotumours (IPTs) are nonneoplastic hepatic masses characterized by variably fibroblastic stroma and inflammatory infiltrate, hypothesized to arise as part of a response to infection or prior surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic features and outcomes of biopsy-proven hepatic IPT as well as other cases with IPT-like histologic features.

Methods And Results: A database search at our institution identified cases with a pathologic diagnosis of hepatic IPT (n = 80) between 2000 and 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
  • Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
  • Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.

Xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis of pubic bone mimicking neoplasm: a case report and literature review.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Chung-Ang University Hospital, Chung-Ang University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • - Xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis (XO) is a rare bone disease that appears as an osteolytic lesion, and it's crucial to distinguish it from other similar conditions like bone tumors.
  • - A 23-year-old woman presented with pelvic pain and febrile episodes, leading to the discovery of an osteolytic lesion in the pubic bone, which was later confirmed to be caused by an Aspergillus fungal infection after surgical removal.
  • - This case highlights the importance of considering fungal infections in XO cases and suggests that specific antifungal treatments should be included in the management plan, as XO can occur due to such infections despite being predominantly associated with bacteria.
