Methotrexate-induced nodulosis, also known as methotrexate-induced accelerated nodulosis (MIAN), is a rare side effect of methotrexate therapy. Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used to treat various autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. In this case series, we present patients with MIAN, discussing their clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies.

Systematically generating differential diagnoses facilitates a clinician's history, physical exam, and clinical evaluation. is an acronym for pathophysiologies to consider in a differential diagnosis: immune reactions and dysregulation, metabolic, psychiatric, allergic, structural, social, infectious, vascular, endocrine/exocrine, degenerative, iatrogenic, congenital, traumatic, autoimmune, toxic, idiopathic, neoplastic, and genetic. We suggest that this mnemonic includes several improvements on previous pathophysiology-based acronyms and have informally validated this new mnemonic with two lists of common diseases.

Biological sex is closely associated with the properties and extent of the immune response, with males and females showing different susceptibilities to diseases and variations in immunity. Androgens, predominantly in males, generally suppress immune responses, while estrogens, more abundant in females, tend to enhance immunity. It is also established that sex hormones at least partially explain sex biases in different diseases, particularly autoimmune diseases in females.

Background: Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare auto-inflammatory disease that mainly affects children, and manifests with single or multiple painful bone lesions. Due to the lack of specific laboratory markers, CNO diagnosis is a matter of exclusion from different conditions, first and foremost bacterial osteomyelitis and malignancies. Whole Body Magnetic Resonance (WBMR) and bone biopsy are the gold standard for the diagnosis.
