[Disseminated extrapulmonary tuberculosis with skin, lymph node and bone involvement].

Disseminated extrapulmonary tuberculosis is uncommon in no immunocompromised hosts. We described the case of a 68-year-old HIV seronegative man, who presented with a 5 months history of constitutional symptoms, generalized lymphadenopathy, evening fever, osteomyelitis of the left fibula and cutaneous lesions (papules and pustules). There was neither clinical nor radiological evidence of pulmonary involvement. On the basis of bacteriological and pathological findings the diagnosis of disseminated extrapulmonary tuberculous was made.

[Asymmetric oligoarthritis in Castleman's disease].

The angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia (Castleman's disease) is an entity of unknown etiology. Its diagnosis is based on clinical and histological criteria. We present the case of a 20-year-old male patient with asymmetric oligoarthritis and fever which response to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs as onset of abdominal Castleman's disease mixed type.

[Polymyalgia syndrome and atrial myxoma].

We present a case of polymyalgia-like syndrome in a 62-years-old woman with four month history of severe headache, muscular claudication, asthenia, normochromic, normocytic anaemia and elevation of erytrocyte sedimentation rate. A diagnosis of giant left atrial myxoma was made brought about by thoracoabdominal magnetic resonance. Their surgical exeresis was followed by gradual disappearance of symptoms and normalization of laboratory parameters.

[Hand arthropathy of professional origin: milkingman hand].

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this case-control study was to know possible correlates between distinctive pattern of hand arthrosis and length manual milking. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between January 1990 and January 1996, we retrospectively reviewed the patients with symptomatic arthrosis in whose hands was identified this pattern: degenerative disease of distal interphalangeal joints with radial deviation and flexion of distal phalanges in association to arthrosis involving metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the thumb. The first 88 cases of hand arthrosis without this clinical and radiographic pattern make the control group. Patients suffering inflammatory rheumatic diseases were excluded. RESULTS: 35 patients with this special pattern of hand arthrosis were recruited. The majority of patients were women (94.3%) and coming from rural environment (94.3%). 32 patients had performed daily manual milking over a period of 20 years, but in three patients the pattern was not related to this activity (odds ratio = 928: p < 0.001). Symptoms were more frequent in the control-group (57% versus 26%; p < 0.04), in which no characteristic pattern of alignment abnormality was found. CONCLUSION: A typical pattern of hand arthrosis was associated with prolonged manual milking: degenerative disease of metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of thumb, radial deviation associated with flexion of distal phalanges of second at fourth fingers and arthrosis involving their distal interphalangeal joints, often linked to sight ulnar deviation of middle phalanges.

[Septic arthritis caused by Salmonella enteritidis in systemic lupus erythematosus].

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is among the chronic diseases thought to predispose patients to severe Salmonella infections. However, arthritis and osteomyelitis due to this microorganisms are more frequently seen in patients with sickle-cell disease than SLE. We report two cases of SLE and osteoarticular infections by Salmonella enteritidis: A 36-years old woman with bilateral knee arthritis associated with femoral osteomyelitis and a 22-years-old woman who presented with left knee arthritis.

[Pseudotumor in the forearm caused by focal myositis. A rare form of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy].

Focal myositis is a rare form of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. We describe an additional case of focal myositis in a 54-years-old woman presenting as a painful pseudotumor of the left forearm. Muscle enzymes were normal but generalized electromyographic abnormalities were found. We consider that focal myositis is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome, and the cases showing only focal involvement can be different from those that evolve into polymyositis.

[Van Buchem disease. Study of 2 cases and review of the literature].

We report two members of one family, a 51-year-old man a 16-year-old son, with enlargement of the jaw, palatine taurus, endosteal sclerosis of the neurocranium and symmetrical diaphyseal cortical thickening. On the basis of those typical findings, the diagnosis of recessive endosteal hyperostosis (Van Buchem's disease) was mode. This unusual hereditary sclerosing bone dysplasia is discussed with respect to the clinical and radiological features as well as its distinction from other sclerosing disorders.

[Refractory idiopathic liquefying panniculitis].

We present a 28-year-old patient with liquefying idiopathic lobular panniculitis, a variant of the Weber-Christian's disease and intermittent episodes of arthritis in the left foot refractory to sequential treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs, high doses of prednisone, chloroquine, dapsone, colchicine, cyclosporine and methotrexate.

[Delay in the diagnosis of McArdle's disease].

We describe the case of a 14-year-old patient with fatigability and muscular cramps beginning in the first infancy and started by physical exercise. The clinical record, the increase of creatinine-kinase without clinical or biological signs of inflammation and the electromyographic normality, suggested the presence of this disease, which was confirmed through microscopic studies (optic and electronic) and histochemistry. We review the clinical and biological characteristics, the diagnostic methods for this type of glycogenosis and its differential diagnosis, because we think that the low suspicion levels among the clinicians contribute to the few cases published in the literature.
