Skeletal muscle metastasis from non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is an uncommon manifestation of a common malignancy. Its diagnosis remains challenging because of its rarity and nonspecific imaging findings. We report
the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with lumbar and inguinal pain. Ultrasound examination revealed a suspicious soft-tissue lesion within the
left obturator externus muscle. Subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a left upper lobe pulmonary adenocarcinoma
with mediastinal lymphadenopathy and multiple muscular metastases, which were confirmed histologically.

Pancreatic trauma is rare but associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly when the main pancreatic duct is involved. We report the case of a
22-year-old man admitted for blunt abdominal trauma following a motorcycle accident. Initial clinical signs were nonspecific, and the diagnosis was confirmed
by a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, which revealed a grade III pancreatic injury with complete transection of the duct.

Geroderma osteodysplastica (GO) is a rare autosomal recessive connective tissue disease characterized by wrinkled skin and osteoporosis, two distinct
ageing-related features. It comes under the group of hereditary connective tissue disorder that includes cutis laxa syndrome and wrinkly skin syndrome. A
loss-of-function mutation in GORAB results in the disease.

Uveitis, a potentially sight-threatening ocular inflammation, represents a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in Tunisia, where its etiological profile remains insufficiently characterized. Given the complexity of
its clinical presentation, the involvement of an internal medicine department is often crucial to identify underlying systemic pathologies. This study aimed
to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic features of uveitis managed in a specialized internal medicine setting, while identifying the specific
factors associated with disease recurrence and therapeutic failure in our local context.
