Reliability of the rheumatoid arthritis articular damage score in Tunisian patients.
The clinical rheumatoid arthritis articular damage (RAAD) score is easy to perform and showed good intraobserver reliability. It correlates well with the Larsen score and disease duration and can be recommended for rheumatoid arthritis patients' follow-up in developing countries.

Lipoma arborescens affecting multiple joints.
Lipoma arborescens is a rare benign intra-articular lesion of unknown etiology that usually involves the suprapatellar pouch of the knee joint. Clinically, the most common finding is a slow-growing painless swelling, accompanied by intermittent effusion of the joint. We report a case of a multifocal lipoma arborescens localized in the knees and the hips in a 24-year-old man, initially mimicking an inflammatory arthropathy. The diagnosis of lipoma arborescens was made by magnetic resonance imaging of the hips and the knees. Under arthroscopic guidance, the synovial biopsy of the right knee disclosed the specific histological signs of lipoma arborescens. As far as we know, this is the third case of multifocal lipoma arborescens reported in the English literature.

Imaging features of primary pulmonary liposarcoma.
Primary liposarcoma of the lung is extremely rare. We report a 28-year-old pregnant woman who complained of dyspnoea during the third trimester. Chest radiography, thoracic ultrasound, CT and MRI showed a huge heterogeneous tumour involving all the left lung and the mediastinum. The tumour was composed of soft tissue, and fatty and cystic components with calcifications. Diagnosis was made on core biopsy under CT guidance. Surgical excision was performed but unfortunately the patient died during the operation.
