Their typical clinical presentations and localizations do not generally pose any diagnostic or therapeutic problem. We report here an atypical fistulized presentation of an unusual iliac rheumatoid nodule in a 65-year-old female patient.

Introduction: Multifunctional pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been implicated in a variety of inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). TNF-α polymorphisms are mostly located in its promoter region and play a significant role in disease susceptibility and severity. We therefore sought to investigate TNFA -863C/A (rs1800630) polymorphism association with RA activity in our Pakistani study group.

Coronary artery fistula is an uncommon finding during angiographic exams. We report a case series of five patients with congenital coronary fistulas. The first patient was 56 years old and had a coronary fistula associated with a partial atrio ventricular defect, the second patient was 54 years old and had two fistulas originating from the right coronary artery with a severe atherosclerotic coronary disease, the third patient was 57 years old with a fistula originating from the circumflex artery associated with a rheumatic mitral stenosis, the fourth patient was 50 years old and had a fistulous communication between the right coronary artery and the right bronchial artery, and the last patient was 12 years old who had bilateral coronary fistulas draining into the right ventricle with an aneurismal dilatation of the coronary arteries.
