A case of brachial plexus neuropathy (BPN) associated with infectious mononucleosis (IM) in a 13 year old boy is presented. The essential clinical picture of BPN is discussed and the main points are: acute pain at onset across the top of the shoulder-blade followed by weakness and atrophy on muscles supplied in most cases by superior brachial plexus. The prognosis is good and most patients began to note improvement within months. The main neurological complications of IM are lymphocytic meningitis, peripheral neuropathy and encephalomyelitis and they can occur without any classical findings as pharyngitis, adenopathy or splenomegaly. The association of BPN and IM was described previously in only 7 cases and as the present case all of them had a complete recovery.

A typical case of a previously undescribed form of gingivitis which is self-limiting and recurrent is discussed. The signs and symptoms include acute pain and swelling of interdental papillae with regional lymphadenopathy. As the disease progresses the localized swelling quickly spreads to the adjacent marginal and papillary gingiva. Ulceration is infrequent and without pseudomembrane formation or interdental cratering. We believe this to be a unique form of gingivitis and suggest the name acute recurrent gingivitis (ARG).

Gall bladder tuberculosis is very rare and curable but, sometimes can be confused with the clinical diagnosis like carcinoma. A 32-year-old male presented with acute pain in right abdomen for one month and fever off and on for two months. CT scan (whole abdomen) showed features suggestive of lymphadenopathy although peroperatively no significant lymph node could be identified but there were multiple white patches on gastrohepatic ligament and neck of gall bladder probably which were identified as lymph nodes on scanning. On the basis of peroperative findings clinician diagnosed it as a case of carcinoma gall bladder and was subjected to cholecystectomy. On histopathological examination it turned out to be tuberculosis gall bladder. Therefore tuberculosis of gall bladder can mimic carcinoma clinically.
