Résumé
Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by decreased function of the lacrimal and salivary glands. In addition, many other organs can be involved in patients with Sjogren's syndrome. Overt or latent renal tubular acidosis is an uncommon extraglandular manifestation in Sjogren's syndrome, and osteomalacia is a rare complication of renal tubular acidosis. It has been rarely reported that osteomalacia is associated with distal renal tubular acidosis in patients with Sjogren's syndrome. We report a case of a 34-year-old female patient who was initially presented with muscle weakness in both lower extremities. The patient was then diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome complicated by osteomalacia and renal tubular acidosis

Brucellosis is an endemic zoonotic disease, particularly in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, and can involve many organs and tissues. Recently, the incidence of human brucellosis has increased rapidly in Korea. Brucellosis may often appear as other infections and asymptomatic conditions because of its range of clinical manifestations. Therefore, its diagnosis is frequently missed or delayed. Early diagnosis of brucellar spondylitis is important for reducing the number and intensity of complications. Therefore, it should be included in a differential diagnosis of back pain with an unknown origin. Brucellosis is normally transmitted to humans by direct contact with infected animals or by the ingestion of unpasteurized dairy products. We report an unusual case of brucellar spondylitis complicated by acupuncture.

Benign tumors of the testis are rare, accounting for less than one percent of all testicular tumors including epidermoid cyst of the testis. Over hundreds cases have been reported in the world literature but rarely reported cases of the epidermoid cyst with calcified rim and osteogenesis. We report one case of epidermoid cyst incidentally found in plain pelvis A-P film.
