ABSTRACT
Autoimmune disease (AD) may well start off as a single diagnosis and over the years develop into polyautoimmunity and even multiple autoimmune syndromes (MAS) seen in the same patient, as new clinical symptoms and laboratory finding show up in the course of disease. We present a case of MAS who was initially diagnosed to have autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) - hypothyroidism. She was then evaluated for persistent mild to moderate iron deficiency anemia, unintentional weight loss along with skin rash and diagnosed to have celiac disease and undifferentiated connective tissue disease (uCTD).

The following report reviews presentation, pathophysiology, characteristic imaging findings and current treatment options for elbow synovial fold syndrome. We present the case of a 17 year old female with clinical and MR imaging evidence of this condition and provide a comprehensive review of the limited peer-reviewed literature.

We present a case report of a rare synovial hemangioma of the knee. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated typical signal characteristics and enhancement. Histologic findings were confirmatory. Imaging characteristics, differential diagnoses and classification are discussed. A review of the relevant literature is provided.
