A Pigmented Scalp Lesion: Can You Diagnose?

A middle-aged man presents with a 20–25-year history of a slowly enlarging, well-defined pigmented lesion on the parietal scalp. The lesion is asymptomatic, with no ulceration or lymphadenopathy. Biopsy shows nests of basaloid cells with peripheral palisading and abundant melanin deposition. What’s your diagnosis?

Could lower-body fat act as an “immunological shield”?

This Cureus video abstract explores whether a lipoedema-like fat distribution may be linked to a more anti-inflammatory and metabolically buffered profile.

Using nationally representative data:
• celiac autoimmunity was associated with reduced lower-body fat patterning
• the lipoedema-like phenotype showed lower inflammatory and metabolic markers

Takeaway: Fat distribution may play a role in immune regulation but these findings remain hypothesis-generating.

💬 Would you consider adipose distribution a factor in autoimmune risk?

A 68-year-old woman presented with:
• chronic pelvic pain
• postmenopausal bleeding

Cause?

A forgotten Lippes Loop IUD retained for decades and found outside the uterus during surgery.

Once removed, her symptoms completely resolved.

Takeaway: Even “old” devices can have very real, long-term consequences.

Do you routinely ask about remote contraceptive history in older patients with pelvic pain?

Annular Skin Lesions: Can You Solve This Case?

A 73-year-old woman presents with recurrent pruritic annular erythematous plaques on the trunk and extremities. Biopsy shows an eosinophil-rich dermal infiltrate without vasculitis or flame figures. Labs reveal elevated IgM with monoclonal IgM-λ protein but no organ damage.

In a study of 546 patients, epipharyngeal abrasive therapy (EAT):
significantly reduced inflammation + bleeding within 1 month
showed sustained improvement up to 12 months
worked faster in edematous tissue vs hypertrophic

But here’s the twist…
Complete resolution depended on:
• baseline severity
• tissue type
• treatment duration

Takeaway: Same treatment, different biology, different outcomes.

💬 Would you consider EAT in chronic nasopharyngitis or is the evidence still not strong enough?
