We describe the case of a 3-week-old boy showing telangiectasias on the abdominal skin since 2 weeks. His medical (family) history and an abdominal echo showed no abnormalities. The diagnosis Transient Abdominal Telangiectasia of the Newborn was made.

This case report discusses the case of a 74-year-old man who was diagnosed with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). The patient initially presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and was later diagnosed with cholangitis. Subsequently, heart failure was identified due to hepatic arteriovenous malformations.

Purpose: Cancer predisposition syndromes are genetic disorders that significantly raise the risk of developing malignancies. Although the malignant manifestations of cancer predisposition syndromes are well-studied, recognizing their non-malignant features is crucial for early diagnosis, especially in children and adolescents.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the PubMed database, focusing on non-malignant manifestations of cancer predisposition syndromes in children and adolescents.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by abnormal blood vessel formation, leading to recurrent epistaxis, cutaneous and mucosal telangiectases, and visceral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Hepatic involvement may result in complications such as high-output heart failure, portal hypertension, and biliary ischemia. We report an uncommon case of ischemic cholecystitis in a patient with HHT.

Background: Radiation-induced intestinal injury (RIII) interrupts the scheduled processes of abdominal and pelvic radiotherapy (RT) and compromises the quality of life of cancer survivors. However, the specific regulators and mechanisms underlying the effects of RIII remain unknown. The biological effects of RT are caused primarily by DNA damage, and ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is a core protein of the DNA damage response (DDR).

Article Synopsis
- Wilson's disease (WD) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, leading to harmful copper accumulation in various organs and potentially causing organ failure.
- A case study of a 15-year-old boy highlights how undiagnosed and untreated WD resulted in severe liver damage and various complications, ultimately leading to his death.
- Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of WD and revealed that he had a homozygous H1069Q mutation, supporting the clinical findings from his autopsy.
