Physical examination revealed erythematous skin lesions over the face and the Neck. Laboratory investigations showed lymphopenia, low C3 and C4 complement levels, positive antinuclear antibodies, anti- dsDNA antibodies, and anti- SSA/Ro antibodies.

CASE -17 A 69-year- old woman with a past history of low back pain, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia presented with a chief complalnt of a dorsal ulnar- sided leh hand- wrist mass that had been growlng slowly over the previous10years.The mass had become progressively more painful over time, being particularly tender when she wore a watch. No history of preceding trauma or constitutional symptoms. On examination, there was a small palpable mass that was semi- flrm and not mobile; quite tender to palpation was noted. X- Ray showed marked osteoarthritic changes. Surgical excision of the mass was done.
CASE - 18 A 66 year female presented with paroxysmal right hypochondrial pain since 6months, The day before the visit, the patient presented with worsening of upper abdomen pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Also, patient experienced loss of appetite and weight loss over 5 kg in past 6 months. Abdominal ultrasound suggested thickening of the gallbladder wall.

CASE 1S A 73 years old Indo- African female presented to the emergency department with sudden onset shortness of breath with no associated chest pain. She had a longstanding history of heart failure with echocardiogram (ECHO) demonstrating a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 40%. Complete blood count and comprehensive metabolic panel were within normal limits. Serum protein electrophoresis demonstrated moderate hypoproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia with no monoclonal spike (M spike). Urine immunofixation was negative for immunoglobulin light chain. There was a significant elevation for N- terminal pro b- type natriuretic peptide (NT- ProBNP) - 12914 pg/mL (Normal < 125 pg/mL).Immunoflourescence image given.
