Case-based conference preparation is a valuable skill rarely covered in medical school training. We implemented an innovative program to teach fourth-year medical students to prepare and facilitate a virtual case presentation conference with faculty mentorship. Feedback survey results indicated improved confidence in case presentation and in establishing a broad differential.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves outcomes in heart failure, but prior interventions like percutaneous mitral annuloplasty may hinder lead placement. We present a 70-year-old male with ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe functional mitral regurgitation who previously received a Carillon device. Due to coronary sinus inaccessibility, left bundle branch area pacing optimized cardiac resynchronization therapy (LOT-CRT) was performed.

Mediastinal masses often present acutely as medical emergencies, necessitating prompt and accurate diagnosis. Imaging-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) plays a pivotal role in rapidly identifying rare mediastinal tumours and differentiating them from other potential aetiologies, enabling timely intervention. Primary mediastinal germ cell tumours (PMGCTs) constitute approximately 15% of adult mediastinal neoplasms.

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.

Unlabelled: Concurrent presentation of pulmonary nocardiosis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is exceptionally rare and diagnostically challenging, given the overlapping clinical and radiological features. We report a 54-year-old female with fever, cough, weight loss, and arthralgia. Chest imaging showed multiple pulmonary nodules; serology revealed positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies -proteinase 3, and lung biopsy demonstrated necrotizing granulomatous inflammation with Nocardia species.

Unlabelled: Pancreatic signet ring cell carcinoma (PSRCC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of pancreatic cancer with a dismal prognosis. We present the case of a 50-year-old male who, within six weeks, developed a pancreatic mass with liver metastases. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed PSRCC.
