Severe osteomalacia due to undiagnosed coeliac disease: three case reports of Tunisian women.
We describe three cases of osteomalacia presenting in Tunisian women, all of whom had previously-undiagnosed coeliac disease (CD). Direct enquiry revealed an important weight loss and a history of diarrhoea in two patients, and a 15-year history of anaemia in one patient. Laboratory tests showed severe anaemia in the three cases. Reduced calcium was found in two cases, and corrected calcium was found in one case. Radiological examination showed fissure in two cases. The diagnosis of osteomalacia was made by clinical, biochemical and radiological features. Antigliadin, antireticulin, antiendomysial and anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies were all positive in the three cases, and a small-bowel biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of CD. Treatment with gluten-free diet (GFD), supplemental calcium and vitamin D was initiated for the three patients, but only one patient complies strictly with the GFD; she showed a marked resolution of her symptoms.

[Iliac chondroma: a case report].
Chondroma is a benign bone tumour that usually occurs in the in carpal and phalangeal bones. The iliac involvement is very rare and should be differentiated from chondrosarcoma. The authors report a case of iliac chondroma revealed by an acetabular lytic area in a 13-year-old girl. The diagnosis of chondroma was confirmed after surgical biopsy.
