While gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) often arise within the GI tract, it is well known that GISTs may also rarely emanate outside of the digestive system. Prior case reports have documented various primary sites in non-GI organs [extra-intestinal GIST (EGIST)], yet only one report has described a localized GIST of renal origin. Here, we describe a patient who presented with bilateral renal masses who was found to have a large unresectable renal GIST tumor treated with imatinib. We discuss treatment experience and response with systemic therapy and describe molecular data to contextualize this ultra-rare presentation within the landscape of EGIST tumors.

Anagen Effluvium in a Child Misusing Methotrexate: A Case Report With Dermoscopic Findings.
Pediatr Dermatol
March 2025
Department of Dermatology, Ankara Etlik City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Anagen effluvium is a rare adverse effect of methotrexate therapy, generally associated with high-dose regimens. We report a 12-year-old girl who developed abrupt hair loss 1 week after inadvertently taking methotrexate 15 mg daily for five consecutive days (total 75 mg), without other signs of systemic toxicity. Trichoscopic examination and trichogram findings confirmed methotrexate-induced anagen effluvium, and spontaneous hair regrowth occurred after 2 months.

This case report explored the experiences surrounding a specific, unique individual student with blindness or visual impairment (BVI) within the context of an entry-level physical therapist program. The purpose was not merely to describe 1 student's journey but to capture the complex dynamics and shifts in perceptions of students, faculty, staff, and clinicians.

Palliat Support Care

Departments of Psycho-oncology, Saitama Medical University International Medical Center, Saitama, Japan.
Objectives: Naldemedine is a peripherally acting μ-opioid receptor antagonist used to treat opioid-induced constipation. As this drug does not cross the blood-brain barrier, it is believed that patients without brain metastases do not experience opioid withdrawal symptoms.
Methods: Here, we experienced a case in which a cancer patient without brain metastasis presented with anxiety and restlessness that was severe enough to interfere with daily life.

High pressure injection injuries to upper extremities are largely rare occurrences. The direct and indirect effects of the injected substance can cause debilitating consequences for those affected and can lead to digit amputation. This case series includes three patients with high pressure injection injuries admitted to a single tertiary centre over one year.

Urology Department, Mercy University Hospital, Grenville Place, Cork City T12 WE28, Ireland.
Retrocaval ureter (RU) is a rare congenital malformation where the ureteric pathway is altered, passing posteriorly around the inferior vena cava (IVC). Occasionally, this leads to the IVC compressing the ureter, resulting in obstruction. In this report, we discuss a male who presented with severe right-sided flank pain and was otherwise well with no significant medical, urological, or birth history.
