The authors present an account on Sjögren's syndrome--clinical manifestations, diagnosis, pathogenetic aspects and treatment. The diagnosis was based on three findings: keratoconjunctivitis sicca, stomatodynia--xerostomia and other immunological, diseases. The authors used different immunological examinations, bioptic examination of the oral mucosa and parotid glands. As to gastroenterological examinations, the gastric secretion is examined according to Lambling's method, the gastroduodenum is subjected to radiographic examination, endoscopy is performed as well as a bioptic examination of the gastroduedenal mucosa.

Phakic corneal decompensation with cataract after bioptics: management challenges.
BMJ Case Rep

Ophthalmology, Dr RP Centre, AIIMS, New Delhi, India.
A woman in her early 50s presented with diminution of vision, photophobia, pain and watering in right eye for 8 months. She had previously undergone radial keratotomy (RK) in the right eye, followed by bilateral angle-supported phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation. On examination, 16 RK incisions were present in the right eye, with corneal decompensation, rigid angle-supported pIOL in situ, senile cataract and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of counting fingers.

Article Synopsis
- Glomus tumors (GTs) are mostly benign neoplasms found in the upper gastrointestinal tract, making malignant cases exceptionally rare, which complicates diagnosis due to similarities with other tumors.
- A 52-year-old male patient experienced fatigue and bleeding, leading to the discovery of a gastric GT after multiple examinations, with histopathology confirming it as a potentially malignant tumor.
- The case highlights the need for detailed histopathological and molecular analysis for correct diagnosis and stresses the importance of surgical intervention and long-term monitoring for recurrence and malignancy risks.
Malignant Esophageal Glomus Tumor With Fusion: An Additional Tumor Underscoring the Frequent Tendency of Esophageal Glomus Tumors for Aggressive Behavior.

Bioptical Laboratory Ltd, Pilsen, Czechia.
Malignant glomus tumors are rare tumors of pericytic origin with a propensity to develop in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Hereby we demonstrate a tumor of a 20-year-old man, who presented with dysphagia and an exophytic esophageal mass. Histologic examination of the resected mass revealed a multinodular tumor in the esophageal wall composed of epithelioid cells showing nesting and monomorphic atypia, staghorn vessels and scanty stroma.

Article Synopsis
- A 47-year-old man with a long history of ulcerative colitis experienced sudden acute epigastric pain, leading to a medical examination that revealed eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
- After initial treatment with steroids proved ineffective, the patient was given vedolizumab, which successfully alleviated his symptoms and showed significant improvement in both conditions during follow-up examinations.
- The study suggests that vedolizumab, known for treating ulcerative colitis, may also be a viable treatment option for eosinophilic gastroenteritis due to the shared mechanism of targeting eosinophils.

Article Synopsis
- Acral fibrochondromyxoid tumor (AFCMT) is a recently identified, likely benign tumor found in the hands and feet, characterized by distinct histological features and a specific genetic fusion (THBS1::ADGRF5).
- In a study of 37 cases, the tumors predominantly affected middle-aged individuals (median age 47) and displayed well-defined structures with vascularity and chondrocyte-like cells in a chondromyxoid environment.
- Immunohistochemical tests showed most tumors positive for CD34 and ERG but negative for S100 protein, indicating that AFCMT is a unique entity distinct from other similar tumors.
