Article Abstract
Phaeohyphomycotic cyst is a common subcutaneous form of phaeohyphomycosis in which patients can present with subcutaneous plaques, nodules, etc., It is an infrequent presentation and is most reported in immunocompromised individuals. Diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological and mycological demonstration of the organism. The treatment is by surgical excision with systemic antifungals. We report a rare case of asymptomatic Mycotic cyst in an immunocompetent individual.

Article Synopsis
- Mycotic aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are rare but pose significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment, especially in patients with a history of infections.
- A case study of a 74-year-old male with bladder cancer illustrates the complexity of diagnosing multifocal mycotic aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, which were initially mistaken for a Pancoast tumor.
- The case emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to consider mycotic aneurysms in patients with infection histories and the crucial role of Computed Tomography Angiography for early identification.

Bladder cancer significantly impacts global health, particularly non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), which is typically treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy. While there is evidence that BCG can effectively prevent tumor recurrence and progression, it can cause adverse effects, including disseminated infection, necessitating the exclusion of active tuberculosis and the assessment of immunosuppressive conditions before treatment. We present two cases of disseminated BCG infection.

Objective: Primary aorto-enteral fistula (PAEF) is a connection between the gastrointestinal tract and the aorta that occurs without previous aortic surgery. The aetiological factors include, but are not limited to, aneurysm, infection, and tumours. It is a life threatening condition if untreated and requires emergency vascular surgical repair.

is a genus of dematiaceous fungi that rarely causes human infections. We describe a case of subcutaneous infection in a 70-year-old diabetic man with lesions on the dorsum of the one foot. The agent was isolated, and for the final identification we performed matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and DNA sequencing.
