  ABSTRACT: Gouty involvement of the hand is uncommon and the complications the most described are bony destruction, digital joint instability, tenosynovitis and double ipsilateral tunnel syndrome of the median and ulnar nerves at the wrist. Septic complications, such as infection of a tophaceous nodule, are a rare entity. The authors report a case of an infection of a tophaceous nodule of the middle finger in a 67-year-old man. The diagnosis was suspected on physical examination and radiological findings but final diagnosis is provided by bacteriological examination. This case is presented to heighten awareness of this rare entity and to provide a setting for a discussion of management.

  ABSTRACT: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) or neurofibrosarcoma, previously described as malignant Schwannoma or neurosarcoma, is an extremely rare cause of malignancy localized in the neck. Half of reported cases occurred in patients with neurofibromatosis in Von Recklinghausen disease type I. Typical features include high grade malignancy and a tendency to recurrence and distant metastases. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with neurosarcoma of the neck, which was revealed by a cervicobrachial neuralgia. The physical examination found a mass on the left side of the neck. Plain radiographs showed osteoarthritis. MRI showed a well-defined paravertebral mass. Pathologic diagnosis was neurosarcoma. Radiotherapy was delivered.

  ABSTRACT: Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma may manifest paraneoplastic syndromes such as hypercholesterolaemia, hypoglycaemia, hypercalcaemia and erythrocytosis. An exceptional case of hepatocellular carcinoma associated with polymyositis, a rheumatic paraneoplastic syndrome, is reported. A 72-year-old male complained for a recent muscular weakness mainly in the proximal limb muscles. The clinical course, a raised level of serum creatine kinase and electromyographic findings suggested polymyositis, and the pathological findings on muscle biopsy were compatible with this diagnosis. Computed tomography of the upper abdomen revealed a mass lesion in segment IV, V and VII of the liver, and alpha foetoprotein level was high, resulting in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
