Background: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), a DSM-5-introduced eating disorder, is increasingly prevalent and challenging to treat, primarily affecting children and adolescents, with limited adult case reports. This rarity in adults leads to misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis, and treatment experiences are scarce.
Case Presentation: This report details an adult ARFID case, where the patient's fear of food intake followed gastric damage from corn ingestion, resulting in a restrictive diet of rice porridge due to gastric pain.

Vascular anomalies arise during embryologic development due to errors in vasculogenesis. They are associated with sporadic or inherited mutations in receptors, growth factors or enzymes within various vasculogenic pathways such as mTOR, VEGF, and PI3K. Vascular anomalies have the capability to cause significant symptoms and disability, especially when located in the distal extremities.

Hypophosphatemia following iron infusion is thought to be a relatively rare complication of intravenous iron infusion, though research is beginning to demonstrate that it occurs more often than previously assumed. Still, healthcare professionals are often unaware of this potential complication. This, coupled with the medical bias women can receive in health settings-plus the over-representation of women receiving intravenous iron-means that symptoms of hypophosphatemia may be misinterpreted or worse, misdiagnosed.
