reported cases is one in 75,000 to 100,000 pregnancies. Most of the leukemias
diagnosed in pregnancy are myeloblastic.

Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis (APD) is a rare form of
hypersensitivity (HS) to progesterone (PG). It is characterized by recurrent skin
eruptions during the luteal phase of the menstrual period, coinciding with
peak levels of endogenous PG.1 Many manifestations have been reported
including cyclical urticaria, vesiculobullous eruptions, erythema multiform,
eczema, maculopapular eruptions, purpura/petechiae, and stomatitis.2 The
histopathologic findings are non-specific and often correlate with the lesion
morphology.

Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a disorder of autonomic
function regulation most commonly observed in patients with acute brain
injury. It mostly occurs after traumatic brain injury, but it can also occur after
non-traumatic brain diseases such as anoxic-ischemic coma after cardiac
arrest, intracranial haemorrhage, and ischemic stroke-[1].

First described by Chassaignac in 1852, Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) is
a benign soft tissue tumor [1]. It is a rare disease, associated with synovial
inflammation due to hemosiderin deposition. GCT occurs in two forms:
localized GCT and diffuse formerly known as pigmented villonodular
synovitis. The former typically consists of small well circumscribed, nodule
or pedunculated mass that might be intra- or extra-articular, most commonly
(85%) in the small joints.

Sickle cell nephropathy (SCN) is a major complication of sickle cell
disease. It manifest s in various forms, including glomerulopathy, proteinuria,
hematuria, and Renal tubular disorders, and frequently results in end-stage
renal disease(ESRD). Hemolysis and vascular occlusion are the main factors
promoting the manifestations of this disease. Dialysis and renal transplantation
are the last resort for patient with SCN [1]

When kidney function declines and renal replacement therapy is required,
the heart and vascular tree undergo major structural and functional changes,
and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease is higher than in the general
population (Usrds, 2017), with 40 % of all deaths in patients with end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) due to cardiac causes ( Steddon, S, 2014)

A 48-years-old healthy male was referred to our tertiary care center from
an otorhinolaryngologist. The patient complained of odynophagia for the last
4 months, without any history of smoking nor chronic alcohol intake. A biopsy
was performed and diagnosed chronic inflammation with fungal mycelia. Oral
fluconazole did not bring any improvement.
