Introduction. Galactocele, generally occuring in young women during or after lactation, is an extremely rare cause of breast enlargement in infants and children of exclusively male gender. Only 26 cases have been published so far, including two our cases. Case report. We described unilateral, cystic, breast enlargement, without any endocrinologic and other abnormalities in a 29-month-old boy. A typical clinical and histopathologic presentation of galactocele was followed with a complete excision. Conclusion. This was a 27th well documented case of galactocele in a male infant with typical clinical and histopathologic presentation. There are several hypotheses regarding etiology of the lesion, but it is likely to be multifactorial. Because of its extreme rarity, there are some difficulties in differential diagnosis and treatment options of galactocele in male infants.

Background: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) with satellitosis is a rare phenomenon that typically occurs in children and teenagers. It can be seen after excision or trauma to the original lesion. Objective: The aim is to review an atypical case of PG with satellitosis and to highlight a conservative approach to management. Methods: This article includes a case report of a 48-year-old woman developing PG with satellitosis in her right foot and includes a review of the literature. Results: There are few cases of PG with satellitosis in the literature. Our patient differs from most given her age and the location of the lesions. She was managed differently with a conservative observational approach, and, over time, her symptoms abated. Conclusion: PG with satellitosis can occur in varying patient populations with varying presentations. Although several treatment options exist, managing patients conservatively should be considered an approach to management. Early investigations should be conducted to rule out more sinister items in the differential diagnosis.

Poststreptococcal Reactive Arthritis

Acute rheumatic fever is a delayed inflammatory disease that follows streptococcal infection of the throat. Poststreptococcal reactive arthritis is a sterile arthritis associated with antecedent streptococcal infection in patients not fulfilling the Jones criteria for acute rheumatic fever. Poststreptococcal reactive arthritis has been reported to have lower-extremity predominance and, therefore, should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with lower-extremity arthritis. A review of the literature, distinguishing poststreptococcal reactive arthritis from acute rheumatic fever, and treatment options are discussed here. A case report is also presented.

Intracranial capillary hemangioma (ICH) is a rare entity, with approximately 24 reported cases in the literature. There are only three reported cases of ICH in an adult male. In this case report, we describe the fourth documented case of ICH in an adult male and, to the best of our knowledge, the first ever documented case of ICH in the posterior fossa of an adult male. We also discuss its imaging appearance and differential diagnosis.

Background: Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (PCAS) is a suppurative process that involves the scalp, eventually resulting in extensive scarring and irreversible alopecia. This condition often presents in males of African American origin. Objective: This article describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an Aboriginal Canadian male suffering from PCAS. A literature review on the etiology, pathology, differential diagnosis, and management is also discussed. Conclusion: Careful analysis of the pathology and clinical presentation can aid in the timely diagnosis and management of this challenging condition. The clinician dealing with patients suffering from PCAS has several treatment options available to help successfully manage patients with straightforward or recalcitrant disease.

Intramuscular Lipoma

Few reports of intramuscular lipoma in the temporal region are seen in the literature. Because of its invasives characteristics, this neoplasm may be mistaken as a liposarcoma. Although image exams help in the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lipomatous lesions, the histopathological exam is the only one capable of a definitive diagnosis. Total removal of the lesion is essential because the recurrence rate without complete excision may be as high as 62.5 %. A patient with an intramuscular lipoma located in the temporal region is presented along with the mentioned treatment. Great importance should be given to these uncommon lesions that may present as a challenge to professionals that work in the maxillofacial region.

Calcific myonecrosis is characterized by central liquefaction and peripheral calcification involving the entire muscle mass and is considered to be a late sequel of compartment syndrome. Being a rare presentation, considering differential diagnosis is important. Diagnosis is based on history of trauma and typical radiological features. Symptomatic patients require complete excision of the mass while asymptomatic patients can be treated nonoperatively.

Abstract Keratosis lichenoides chronica represents a distinct entity, a rare disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, with clinical manifestations which, although typical, require extensive differential diagnosis. The course of the disease is chronic, progressive, and it is resistant to various treatment options, so despite variations in the clinical picture it is really easier to diagnose than to treat. This is a case report of a male patient in whom the diagnosis of keratosis lichenoides chronica was based on typical clinical picture, repeated biopsies and histopathological findings, course of the disease and poor response to any therapy.

Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography

Although Takayasu arteritis (TA) is rare as a form of chronic inflammatory arteritis, it is important that it is diagnosed early because the 10-year survival rate is only 84% to 87%. Many reported patients have been young women in East Asia. We report a case of a young woman who originally presented with unexplained pulmonary consolidation. Five years later, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging showed thickening of the walls of the aorta and its branches and of the main and right pulmonary artery (PA), and occlusion of the left subclavian and left PAs. A diagnosis of TA was made based on these CT findings. Patients with TA often have PA involvement, and this can be the initial site of arteritis. Therefore, TA should be included in the differential diagnosis of young women with unexplained pulmonary consolidation.

Synovial Osteochondromatosis

Synovial osteochondromatosis is a benign disease of unknown etiology that involves the articular and periarticular structures. The disorder primarily affects men, and trauma is the most common predisposing factor. The authors review the literature, clinical findings, proposed etiology, classification, ancillary tests, histopathology, differential diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis. A case report of this rare entity is also presented. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 92(4): 247-254, 2002)

The Harlequin syndrome is a rare and benign disorder of the sympathetic nerves that is mostly idiopathic. It is characterized by an erythema associated with an intense sweating of one side of the face, and a pallor and anhidrosis of the other side. A complete workup to rule out secondary organic causes should be done properly. The medical or surgical options are only required if the patient is in demand of treatment.  Psychological and social impacts of this condition should be considered while consulting patients for treatment options. We report a case of a 24 years old female patient who presented this syndrome during exercise and heat stress. She improved considerably after botulinum toxin injections.
