A review is made of the current management strategies of abscesses in basal ganglia and thalamus, based on a review of the literature and three of our own cases. Clinical picture, aetiology, diagnostic, surgical treatment and outcome are discussed. Stereotactic abscess puncture in combination with temporary drainage and rinsing of the abscess cavity in combination with systemic medication of antibiotics has become the management of choice with satisfactory results.

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) tuberculosis (TB) is an infrequent clinical entity, especially in developed countries. The symptoms are usually non-specific, and therefore it may mimic a variety of degenerative and non-degenerative diseases, hampering the diagnosis. An interesting case of SIJ infection with psoas abscess in a 77-year-old male is presented in the current article.

Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), are increasingly common and present significant healthcare challenges. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), chromatin fibers expulsed by neutrophil granulocytes, can promote immunotherapy resistance via an impairment of CD8 T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Here, to identify a potential therapeutic target, we investigate the expulsion of NETs and their relation to CD8 T cell infiltration in NMSC.
