Osseous metaplasia of the endometrium is a rare condition involving the bone tissue in the endometrial cavity. Its presence along with haematometra is an infrequent condition and is not reported until now. We present a case of a woman in her mid-30s with primary infertility and secondary amenorrhoea. On evaluation, she was diagnosed with osseous metaplasia, intrauterine synechiae and haematometra. Hysteroscopic removal of bone fragments was done along with synechiolysis which led to the return of menses.

Background: Subtle uterine lesions are abnormal intracavitary conditions that, while not causing significant anatomical changes, can adversely impact fertility. Identifying these "subtle" lesions is challenging due to arbitrary interpretation, varied management strategies, unclear clinical significance, and insufficient clinician training in recognizing them. Hysteroscopy offers direct visualization and the capacity to obtain targeted biopsies, making it an invaluable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of these often overlooked conditions.

- A chondroid syringoma is a rare, non-cancerous skin tumor that can have unique characteristics in its tissue makeup, sometimes causing confusion during diagnosis.
- This report details a case involving this tumor, with unusual bone formation, located on the right upper eyelid of a 60-year-old woman.
- The patient's tumor showed low levels of cell proliferation (Ki67 index) and after a 36-month follow-up, there was no sign of the tumor returning, highlighting the importance of recognizing this tumor's varied appearances to avoid misdiagnosis.

In recent decades, there has been an increase in the identification of thyroid nodules, both benign and malignant, due to the rise in imaging studies and complementary tests. Among thyroid gland tumors, papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) stands out as the most prevalent. Degenerative changes, mainly in the form of nodular goiter, have been recorded, occasionally including areas of calcification and, more rarely, ossification; although the latter seldom progresses to calcinosis.

-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare subtype of renal tumor that typically affects the pediatric age group. Previous exposure to chemotherapy agents increases the possibility of having this subtype. Morphologically, it displays a broad spectrum of growth patterns, but it can be distinguished by the presence of melanin pigment or psammoma bodies.
