ABSTRACT
A 6-year-old female domestic short hair cat presented with acute onset of vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, and tachypnea. The cat was apparently healthy prior to presentation without history of trauma. On diagnostic imagings, the entire stomach and spleen were detected in the thoracic cavity. An emergent celiotomy was performed, and a type-4 hiatal hernia was confirmed; the stomach, spleen, pancreas, and duodenum were herniated through the esophageal hiatus. It was corrected using phrenicoplasty, esophagopexy, and left-sided gastropexy and there was no recurrence 16 months after surgery. This is the first case report of an idiopathic type-4 hiatal hernia in a cat.

ABSTRACT
Targetoid hemosideric hemangioma represents a distinctive, benign, vascular tumor. Histologically, it is a noncircumscribed vascular proliferation that may extend into the subcutaneous tissue. The superficial component is composed of ectactic dermal vascular lumina with intradermal papillary projections. The deeper component is composed of angular lumina dissecting collagen bundles. We present a case of targetoid hemosideric hemangioma which was presented as solitary nodule on left thigh.

Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis is a neural crest disorder that is found almost exclusively in Asians. Type II is a syndrome in which extensive nevus flammeus is associated with persistent aberrant mongolian spots. We report a case of phakomatosis pigmentovascularis associated with congenital glaucoma in neonate.

Lichen spinulosus is a benign follicular eruption seen primarily in younger persons and is frequently classified a disorder of keratinization. The lesion is characterized by the development of patches of small perifollicular papules that have a central horny spine. We report a case of lichen spinulosus developed in an 8-year-old male patient who had atopic dermatitis.
