Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare, potentially life-threatening autoimmune blistering disorder characterized by IgG autoantibodies against desmoglein
3 and, in some cases, desmoglein 1, leading to intraepidermal acantholysis and blister formation. A rare clinical variant, pemphigus vegetans, accounts
for 1–2% of pemphigus cases and presents with papillomatous, vegetative plaques primarily in intertriginous regions. We report the case of a 55-year-old
woman with no significant medical history who presented with progressive lip swelling, painful fissures, and vegetative plaques.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a significant global health issue, responsible for over 1.4 million deaths annually. The
emergence of drug-resistant strains, such as multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), poses a major challenge to effective
treatment and control. This review aims to explore the development and progress of novel oxazolidinone antibiotics, which have shown promise against these
resistant strains.

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is a specific autoimmune disorder marked by lymphocytic infiltration and the production of anti-thyroid autoantibodies. This
study explores the impact of extended Wet-Cupping Therapy (Hijama) on the modulation of autoimmune activity in individuals with HT. A case report study
was conducted with two patients who underwent continuous Hijama therapy for one year.

Calcified structures are frequently found in ovarian dermoid cysts, which can make laparoscopic excision more challenging. We describe a 26-year-old lady
who had four calcified teeth in her right ovarian dermoid cyst, one of which was too big for conventional extraction methods. After failed morcellation,
sterilized dental forceps were used to remove the teeth individually, enabling successful laparoscopic cystectomy without the need for a larger incision.

A sacrococcygeal pilonidal cyst is a narrow tubular cavity located in the sacrococcygeal region, lined by epithelial tissue and often containing one or
more sinus openings [1]. More than 5% of individuals are affected by this condition and its associated complications [2]. The disease predominantly
affects young, working-age males between the ages of 15 and 40 [3,4]. Due to its anatomical position between the coccyx and the rectum, there is a risk
of rectal injury during surgical excision [5].
