INTRODUCTION New-onset headaches in the elderly are usually secondary and rarely primary. We present the case of an elderly man with recent-onset headache due to uremic hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of its kind in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 70-year-old Indian man with chronic kidney disease whose...

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) is a rare genetic syndrome with variable expressivity and autosomal dominant inheritance. The major features of GGS include numerous basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), keratocysts of the jaw, palmar/plantar pits and calcification of the falx cerebri. Authors report the case of a 51-year-old male with a 19-year history of GGS and multiple BCCs of the head and neck. He pres...

BACKGROUND Pineal tumors are very uncommon intracranial lesions, and endodermal cysts in this location are extremely rare. CASE DESCRIPTION A 49-year-old right-handed female presented with 3 weeks history of progressive dizziness and imbalance. Imaging studies showed 1.8 cm × 1.7 cm × 1.8 cm pineal lesion with small enhancing mural component displacing ventrally the quadrigeminal plate and na...

Hypertrophic pachymeningitis is an uncommon disorder that causes a localized or diffuse thickening of the dura mater. Recently, the possibility that IgG4-related sclerosing disease may underlie some cases of intracranial hypertrophic pachymeningitis has been suggested. We herein report the tenth case of IgG4-related intracranial hypertrophic pachymeningitis and review the previous literature. A...

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) consists of ectodermal and mesodermal abnormalities. In this case report we will investigate lower extremity lesions of GGS. A 52-year-old man with GGS underwent skull and lower extremity computer tomography. Radiographic findings included cervical spondylosis, transparent areas with slurred margins, and cerebral falx calcification. Tibial and fibular specific cortic...

Primary central nervous system marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBCL) is very rare, with only a few reported cases worldwide. It has an indolent disease course with high cure potential. We experienced a rare case of dural MZBCL of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) in a 69-year-old man who presented with headache. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of brain showed a 1.9×3.6-cm-sized extra-a...

ACTA DERMATOVENEROLOGICA CROATICA The Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma (BCC), has a variable prevalence, estimated from 1/57,000 to 1:256,000 inhabitants (1). It is a rare autosomal dominant disorder due to a genetic mutation in the PTCH tumor suppressor gene localized to 9q22.3 chromosome (2). In order to make a diagnosis of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, some diagnosti...

A 12-year-old spayed female Labrador retriever was presented with forebrain signs. Brain MRI revealed a huge cystic lesion with the thickened falx in the frontal region. The brain parenchyma surrounding the lesion showed significant signs of a mass effect and also increased intracranial pressure. However, the dog suddenly became lucid after about two weeks, and an MRI scan one month after the i...

Patient 1 is a 34-year-old man who was referred to us for multiple basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in 2013. He was diagnosed with medullablastoma at age 3 and had his first BCC at age 12 which was surgically excised. Clinicopathological correlation supported Gorlin-Goltz syndrome as a diagnosis, but no further follow up was given. He is under dental follow up since the age of 20 for multiple odontog...
