Article Abstract
Background: Radiation osteitis (RO) is a bone-related complication following radiotherapy (RT), often characterized by atypical imaging features. It is challenging to distinguish RO from early bone metastasis (BM), potentially leading to inappropriate treatment. Therefore, establishing reliable diagnostic criteria for accurately identifying RO is essential for improving treatment outcomes in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC).
Case Description: Two cases of advanced CRC patients with atypical isolated bone changes on imaging are presented. Both patients received standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgery. Through comprehensive imaging studies, laboratory evaluations, and multidisciplinary team (MDT) consultations, the diagnosis of RO was confirmed instead of BM, thereby avoiding the need for an invasive pathological biopsy.
Conclusions: This case report highlights imaging features of RO and provides valuable insights into differentiating RO from BM by integrating medical history, laboratory findings, and imaging results.

Crusted scabies (also referred to as Norwegian scabies) is an uncommon and highly contagious variant of scabies. Although crusted scabies is often prevalent in the elderly and immunocompromised individuals, it can occur in the immunocompetent pediatric population. Early and accurate diagnosis, and appropriate treatments must be provided to pediatric patients who present with symptoms of crusted scabies to prevent complications and spread the disease in communities.

Background: Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a rare connective tissue disorder (CTD) with musculoskeletal, craniofacial, and cardiovascular features with a prevalence of approximately 1:50,000. Morbidity and mortality often occur earlier in patients with LDS compared to patients with other CTDs.
