Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCT) are a rare group of generally non-malignant tumors that involves the synovium and tendon sheath. A young female patient presented to the outpatient department with a complaint of unilateral knee swelling and pain. She was evaluated as such and based on a provisional diagnosis of benign synovial proliferation, she was treated with an arthroscopic resection. We discuss our case and discuss the possible medical therapies to prevent recurrence.

Alopecia universalis (AU) is a severe form of alopecia areata characterized by the complete loss of scalp and body hair. While Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors like baricitinib have shown promise in promoting hair regrowth in severe cases of AU, unexpected side effects, such as hair depigmentation, have not been widely reported. We present the case of a young male with AU who experienced progressive and extensive whitening of his scalp and body hair following treatment with baricitinib.
