Article Abstract

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) with multisystem involvement is known to mimic various malignancies and can be diagnosed with high clinical suspicion. We hereby report an atypical case of IgG4-RD, who presented as an inflammatory pseudotumor resembling gall bladder malignancy with hepatic, omental, and subcutaneous involvement. The characteristic tracer uptake pattern described on FDG PET/CT may not be always present in IgG4-RD, especially in the setting of postabdominal surgery. FDG PET/CT revealed the disease progression despite glucocorticoids and aided in response evaluation after second-line drug, rituximab.

Late peritoneal carcinomatosis from cutaneous melanoma mimicking ovarian cancer.

Melanoma Res

Peritoneal carcinomatosis represents an exceptionally rare metastatic pattern of cutaneous malignant melanoma, occurring in fewer than 1% of cases with distant spread and typically within the first few years after primary treatment. This report presents an unusual case with a markedly prolonged disease-free interval, clinically mimicking advanced ovarian carcinoma. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman treated more than 10 years ago for stage IIB nodular melanoma with surgery and adjuvant therapy.

BACKGROUND Non-traumatic bladder rupture, a rare yet potentially life-threatening condition, can stem from diverse factors such as malignancies, bladder inflammation, or bladder diverticulum rupture. Pelvic radiotherapy, in extremely rare instances, can lead to radiation cystitis and subsequent bladder fistula formation. Patients with such conditions often present with abdominal pain, hematuria, oliguria, and urinary ascites.

Atypical proximal tibial fractures in adolescents are rare, particularly when linked to hormonal therapy for short stature. This case series reports the clinical and imaging features of atypical proximal tibial and distal femoral physeal fractures in male adolescents undergoing combined growth hormone (GH) and aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy for idiopathic short stature. We report three cases of skeletally immature male adolescents (ages 12-16) treated with GH and anastrozole who presented with acute leg pain following low-energy trauma during soccer.

Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare pediatric malignancy often misdiagnosed as benign conditions like epididymitis. We report a 4-year-old boy with paratesticular RMS and retroperitoneal metastasis, initially mistaken for epididymitis. The diagnostic delay resulted in disease progression, necessitating radical inguinal orchiectomy, hemiscrotectomy, and complete multimodal therapy.
