Background Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a benign, self-limiting disorder characterized by regional lymphadenopathy. Clinical symptoms range from mild fever and tenderness to upper respiratory syndrome. A few cases have been observed during pregnancy or Hashimoto's disease. What we describe here is the first observed case of KFD in a pregnant woman with a history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Case presentation A 36-year-old woman presented to Aleppo University Hospital during the 13th week of gestation with a painful cervical node on the right side of her neck. The patient's previous medical history confirmed Hashimoto's thyroiditis for several years. After histopathological examinations and radiological investigations, she was diagnosed with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease and treated with corticosteroids. Although the patient did not adhere to the treatment very well due to her concerns for the fetus, the clinical picture improved after delivery. The patient now is on follow-up and continuing the current treatment with corticosteroids. Conclusions Further investigations need to be conducted to understand the possible autoimmune etiology of KFD when it is associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis disease. It is also necessary to understand the relationship between this disease and pregnancy.

Background Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) in Bartholin’s gland is an uncommon malignant tumor. These tumors have a vague clinical feature, so they are diagnosed late and discovered at a high-level stage. Our case presented Three Recurrences and Three times Misdiagnosis of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC). Case presentation We report a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma arising in Bartholin's gland of a 64-year-old female patient that appeared after three previous vulvar tumors were excised. The patient underwent bilateral radiotherapy which was performed on the perineum. Conclusion ACC of the vulvar sweat glands is prone to misdiagnosis and delay in both diagnosis and treatment. As seen in our case, it was misdiagnosed three times as Chondroid Syringoma. Further studies need to be conducted to better understand the tumor prognosis, and its optimal treatment options.

Dermoid cysts are a rare case of developmental abnormality that results in benign tumors, which are classified into three categories based on their cause and appearance. Dermoid cysts tend to present within the first year after birth and are most commonly diagnosed by the age of 5. A 15-year-old girl presented with a complaint of localized, paroxysmal pain and malodorous fluid oozing from the left shoulder for the last 2 weeks. A fistulogram showed an extension of the fistula behind the clavicle and above the scapula with a cystic formation measuring ~2 cm on the upper part of the fistula tract, which called for appropriate surgical intervention. Our case is the first reported dermoid cyst in the left shoulder area associated with a fistula at birth, which is a rare complication since the complications of dermoid cysts differ depending on their location and size.
