Progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH) is a rare autosomal-dominant hereditary bone disorder caused by inactivating pathogenic variants in . POH is characterized by progressive cutaneous ossification and heterotopic ossification in skeletal muscles and subdermal connective tissues. Understanding of the natural history and phenotypic heterogeneity of the illness is incomplete. We report 2 affected male subjects with a milder than usual clinical course, highlight their clinical presentations and molecular correlates, and propose sodium F-fluorine positron emission tomography (PET) scanning as a sensitive technique for POH diagnosis and management.

Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETS) are common intracranial tumors, but extrasellar or ectopic PitNETS are very rare and supposed to originate from some pituitary remnants. They are mostly found in sphenoidal sinus. But particularly, ectopic clival PitNETS are highly aggressive and can cause bone invasion and can be misdiagnosed as other lesions of the skull base such as chordomas.

Three cases of benign ossifying proliferations of the ventral mandible were diagnosed in a 22-month-old female Malayan tapir (), a 12-year-old male Malayan tapir, and a 19-month-old male okapi () at the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance. The cases each presented with a firm, nonpainful mandibular swelling that would wax and wane in size and were minimally progressive radiographically. Positive reinforcement training, which included scratch down and station standing techniques, was used to obtain serial radiographs.

Background: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignancy that develops in the nasal cavity, with appendicular skeletal metastases being exceptionally uncommon. We report the case of a middle-aged male with ONB, presenting with an unusual biopsy-confirmed solitary metastasis to the left proximal femur.
Case Presentation: A 33-year-old male was previously diagnosed with olfactory neuroblastoma in the skull base after initial clinical presentation with progressive left-sided nasal obstruction for six months.
[18F]FDG- PET/CT in Diagnosis, Staging, and Management of Patients with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis.

Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a rare hematological disorder, presents significant diagnostic challenges due to its varied clinical manifestations. This study aims to analyse the use of F-18 fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) in diagnosis, staging, and management of LCH.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-nine patients with LCH were included, who underwent a total of ninety-three F-18 FDG PET/CT scans (including follow-up scans in 19 patients).

Introduction: Historically, surgical training has been primarily carried out in the operating theatre, using mentoring for the surgical resident to reach the appropriate skill level (3/5). Other surgical training methods also improve performance, but do not always lead to the highest level of expertise (5/5). Another training method, sometimes termed- deliberate practice, by setting objectives based on feedback, may be more effective.
