A 55 years old woman, was hospitalized in November 2011 for a Stevens-Johnson syndrome with severe mucosal impairment appeared three weeks after taking allopurinol (Zyloric®) for an hyperuricemia associated with arthralgia. She was put under symptomatic treatment after discontinuation of the offending molecule with a good mucocutaneous improvement. After healing of lesions of the oral mucosa in...

A patient with rheumatoid arthritis developed portal hypertension and died from bleeding oesophageal varices. The liver was small and showed a nodular, non-cirrhotic pattern similar to that described by Blendis et al (1970 and 1974) in association with Felty's syndrome. This appears to be the first report of a patient with this liver lesion associated with rheumatoid arthritis in the absence of...

There is a large spectrum of tumors presenting as nodular lesions that may affect the subungual space. We report the case of a 62-year-old woman presenting with a rapidly growing nodular lesion under the nail of the first left toe. Non-invasive examinations using dermoscopy, ultrasonography and elastography were performed for the preoperative assessment of the lesion. The biopsy of the lesion r...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION When a pulmonary nodular lesion is detected by F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in a patient with post-surgical papillary thyroid carcinoma with undetectable serum-stimulated thyroglobulin levels and negative 131I whole body scan, diagnosis and management of the nodule may be confusing. CASE PRESENTATION We describe two post-s...

We report an isolated giant solid macronodular tuberculoma in an 8-year-old boy. A large-space-occupying lesion in the right lobe with nodular surface and hard consistency mimicked liver malignancy. This case is unusual as the ultrasonography, computed tomography scan, and aspiration cytology were all suggestive of a malignant tumor. Laparotomy confirmed a 15 x 10 cm nodular tumor present in th...

Sir, Nodular fasciitis is a benign lesion arising in the subcutaneous tissue, skeletal muscles and fascia (1, 2). It is important not to confuse the disease with true sarcoma or other malignant tumours. Intravascular fasciitis, which was originally described by Patchefsky & Enzinger (3), is an unusual variant of nodular fasciitis. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature (4–11). He...

lesion in the right shoulder that was detected by contrastenhanced computed tomography (CT) and F-fluoro-2deoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT (Fig. 1). Excisional biopsy revealed infiltration of plasma cells with anaplastic features, consistent with solitary plasmacytoma (PC). Serum analysis showed elevation of serum free lambda light chain levels (27.78 mg/l), with an ab...
