Introduction: Osteochondroma (OC) is a common benign bone tumor that usually arises from the metaphyseal region of long bones. Rarely, it can present in atypical locations such as the wrist and posing diagnostic challenges.
Case Report: We present a 42-year-old female with an incidental finding of OC on the volar aspect of the right wrist. The patient was referred for a musculoskeletal assessment due to a painful swelling, which was slowly increasing in size over 2 years, following mild trauma. With a suspicion of ganglion, investigations including X-ray and ultrasound led to surgical excision and histological examination, which confirmed a diagnosis of a benign OC.
Conclusion: The case emphasizes the importance of considering OC in the differential diagnosis of wrist swellings and highlights the effectiveness of surgical intervention in resolving symptoms.

Prion disease is an uncommon entity characterized by exceptionally rapid neurodegenerative deterioration. There are three categories of prion disease: (1) sporadic: sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), sporadic fatal insomnia, and protease-sensitive prionopathy; (2) genetic: genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, familial fatal insomnia, and Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome; and (3) acquired: Kuru, iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Although it is an incurable disease, a specific pathophysiological mechanism exists involving neuronal loss, glial cell proliferation, absence of inflammatory response, development of vacuoles leading to a spongiform appearance, and the presence of prions.

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast, also known as colloid carcinoma, is an uncommon type of differentiated adenocarcinoma, representing only 2% of all invasive breast carcinomas. It usually occurs in women ≥ 60 years of age. Mucinous carcinoma is characterized by clusters of epithelial tumour cells suspended in pools of extracellular mucin and is further divided in 2 subgroups, pure and mixed.

Uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) pose therapeutic challenge due to limited response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). This study presents preclinical evidence and mechanistic insights into the combination of lazertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI; and amivantamab, an EGFR-MET bispecific antibody, for treating NSCLC with uncommon EGFR mutations. The lazertinib-amivantamab combination demonstrates significant antitumor activity in patient-derived models with uncommon EGFR mutations either before treatment or after progressing on EGFR-TKIs.

Fabry disease (FD) is a systemic disease in which globotriaosylceramide and other naturally occurring glycosphingolipid accumulate in various tissues throughout the body due to mutation of α-galactosidase A (GLA). These induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from a 10-year-old male patient's urine carrying the GLA c.1080_1082del Fabry disease mutation.

Background: Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis endemic and limited to Latin America. Brazil is responsible for more than 80% of diagnosed cases in the world. Since PCM is not a notifiable disease, there are still no accurate data on its incidence in Brazil.
