However, it remains unclear whether the salivary gland ultrasonography findings are reversible in response to treatment. We present a case of a woman in her 20s who presented with parotid swelling and pain lasting for 3 months. The patient was diagnosed with anti-SS-A antibody-positive Sjögren's syndrome with active sialadenitis, and short-term glucocorticoid treatment resulted in resolution of clinical symptoms and improvement of salivary gland ultrasonography findings by the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Clinical Trials scoring system. Notably, the anechoic/hypoechoic foci and vascular signals in the parotid and submandibular glands were reduced after treatment. Furthermore, peak systolic blood flow velocity of the facial artery entering the submandibular gland was decreased. Our case highlights that the findings of 'inflammatory' structural changes and vascularisation on salivary gland ultrasonography, including the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Clinical Trials scoring system, reflect the disease active of Sjögren's syndrome and are reversible with treatment. Salivary gland ultrasonography has the potential to be a useful tool for monitoring treatment response and stratifying patients by disease activity in Sjögren's syndrome; therefore, further research is needed on the relationship of salivary gland ultrasonography findings with the pathophysiological mechanisms of sialadenitis and long-term clinical outcomes.","PeriodicalId":94146,"journal":{"name":"Modern rheumatology case reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139473128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At 15 years of age, the patient complained of persistent generalised pain. Her rheumatoid factor and serum matrix metalloproteinase-3 levels were below standard values; there were no inflammatory responses, and the human leukocyte antigen test was negative for B27 and positive for B52 and B62. The bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) value was 8.0 at the time of induction and 3.1 at 6 months after the introduction of adalimumab (at a dose of 40 mg). The BASDAI value improved with an increase in the dose of adalimumab to 80 mg at 8 months after the initial introduction of adalimumab (at 40 mg), although it remained at 4.8 at 16 months after the dose increase. The BASDAI value was 2.6 at 6 months, 2.7 at 1 year, and 1.8 at 1.5 years after the introduction of infliximab, indicating that the patient had progressed well without any adverse events. Based on this case, juvenile ankylosing spondylitis is a differential diagnosis for low back pain and generalised pain since childhood. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors were promptly introduced in this case, although it took 4 years from the initial presentation. TNF inhibitors were effective in treating juvenile ankylosing spondylitis in the present case without any adverse events. This case is notable because juvenile onset ankylosing spondylitis is one of the reasons for severe lumbago since childhood and because TNF inhibitors were administered promptly after diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":94146,"journal":{"name":"Modern rheumatology case reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139725470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although bone lesions are most found in the anterior thoracic region or spine, femoral lesions are not well documented in the literature. There is no established treatment for this condition, and few reports have described its long-term course. Here, we describe two cases of SAPHO syndrome involving the femur and discuss their long-term follow-up. A 40-year-old man (Case 1) presented with right thigh pain. Fifteen years after the initial diagnosis, the pain could be controlled with minomycin, salazosulfapyridine, and methotrexate. X-rays of the femur showed gradual cortical thickening. Although there were waves of pain, it gradually improved with the adjustment of drugs 25 years following the initial diagnosis. A 35-year-old man (Case 2) with right thigh pain was prescribed salazosulfapyridine and methotrexate; however, these were ineffective. Alendronate and guselkumab also proved ineffective. Ultimately, infliximab was started 9 years following disease onset, and pain became manageable. X-rays of the femur showed cortical thickening. SAPHO syndrome can be managed with drug therapies, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, methotrexate, and conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs; however, there are occasional treatment-resistant cases.","PeriodicalId":94146,"journal":{"name":"Modern rheumatology case reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140924120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, involvement of the urinary bladder in IgG4-RD is rarely reported. We describe a case of IgG4-RD involving the urinary bladder mimicking carcinoma and review the published literature-a 39-year-old male presented with complaints of dysuria, urgency and hesitancy. Ultrasound revealed a hyperechoic lesion protruding from the anterior of the urinary bladder wall with partial obstruction to bladder outflow, likely to be a pedunculated bladder mass with high suspicion for malignancy. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen showed a large irregular lobulated heterogeneously enhancing lesion involving the anteroinferior wall of the urinary bladder extending from mid-body up to the neck region with significant perivesical fat stranding and multiple ill-defined perivesical deposits along with hypodense soft tissue lesion in the perigastric region at the level of the body of the stomach. CT-guided perigastric and ultrasound-guided biopsy from the urinary bladder mass confirmed the diagnosis of IgG4-RD. The patient was treated with glucocorticoids. He is doing well after a 1-year follow-up without recurrence, and a repeat ultrasound showed a significant reduction in the size of the urinary bladder mass. The diagnosis of IgG4-RD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a urinary bladder mass. High index of suspicion and prompt initiation of therapy are required to minimise residual damage and the need for surgical intervention.","PeriodicalId":94146,"journal":{"name":"Modern rheumatology case reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140308454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While NB typically presents with brainstem lesions, we report an unusual case of NB in a 27-year-old male with multiple subcortical nodular brain lesions but without brainstem, thalamic, or basal ganglia involvement, making this presentation exceptionally rare. The patient had a prior diagnosis of BD and was HLA-B51 positive. He presented with a sudden loss of consciousness, which was attributed to a seizure. Imaging studies showed low-density areas in the white matter of the bilateral temporal lobes and the right frontoparietal lobe on brain CT. Cerebrospinal fluid examination indicated elevated initial pressure and protein concentration, along with increased interleukin-6. Despite presenting with nodular brain lesions, distinguishing between NB and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) was challenging, and required brain biopsy revealing vasculitis. However, even with this biopsy result, TB could not be ruled out, so TB was treated at the same time. Treatment with anti-TB drugs and standard steroid therapy initially failed to improve the patient's condition. However, increasing the steroid dosage considering the increased steroid degradation by rifampicin, including pulse therapy with 2 g of methylprednisolone, followed by 18 mg of betamethasone, led to remission of the nodular brain lesions and resolution of the nasopharyngeal ulcer. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of differentiating between NB and TB based on imaging alone and the potential efficacy of high-dose steroid therapy in cases of steroid-resistant NB with subcortical nodular brain lesions.","PeriodicalId":94146,"journal":{"name":"Modern rheumatology case reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138815964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can exhibit various atypical presentations. However, cases of FMF concurrently presenting with chronic thrombosis and myositis have not been previously reported. A 41-year-old male presented with alternating severe bilateral leg pain, stiffness, and localised swellings without fever or abdominal symptoms. His history included inflammatory joint pain treated with prednisolone. Physical examination revealed leg pain, limited ankle joint movement, and tender swellings in thighs, forearms, and feet. Collateral abdominal veins were also observed. Unresponsive to prednisolone and colchicine, the patient underwent MRI, revealing muscle inflammation in both legs and thighs and chronic thrombosis in the infrarenal inferior vena cava. Genetic testing confirmed the heterozygotic M694V mutation, diagnosing an atypical FMF. This case uniquely showcases coexisting myositis and chronic thrombosis in FMF. Myalgia is common in FMF, with M694V mutation associated with severe muscular symptoms. The lack of fever and myositis findings differentiate our case from protracted febrile myalgia syndrome. FMF's chronic inflammatory state is known to influence thrombosis risk, and our findings align with this association. Chronic thromboembolism and myositis together signify an unusual clinical presentation of FMF. This case highlights the potential for FMF to present with complex manifestations beyond the conventional symptoms. Myositis and vascular involvement should prompt consideration of FMF diagnosis when combined with patient history, clinical features, and laboratory results. These rare associations underscore the need for further research to enhance understanding of FMF's diverse clinical spectrum.","PeriodicalId":94146,"journal":{"name":"Modern rheumatology case reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138833786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with the ease of global transport and increased travel to countries with high tuberculosis prevalence, the reduction in extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases has been less significant compared with the overall decrease in tuberculosis cases. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis can manifest in a variety of ways. Tuberculous dactylitis, a rare form of tuberculous osteomyelitis, was first described by Rankin in 1886. It mainly affects the short tubular bones in the hands and feet of children and is sometimes called 'spina ventosa'. A 42-year-old male patient initially presented to an external centre reporting swelling and pain in the hand joints of one year's duration. Despite one year of treatment with leflunomide and methylprednisolone (16 mg) and a history of methotrexate use during this period, he experienced no improvement. The patient's condition worsened after the start of sulfasalazine. Dermatological examination was performed due to the presence of haemorrhagic crusted papules and plaques on the ventral surface of both hands. A wound culture was taken, but no bacterial growth was observed. One week after the initial evaluation, the patient complained of persistent foul-smelling nasal discharge, which led to an evaluation by the infectious disease department. At this time, the Quantiferon test was positive. Mycobacterial culture on Days 1 and 3 showed growth of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.","PeriodicalId":94146,"journal":{"name":"Modern rheumatology case reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139473108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
