Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent endocrine tumor with 44,280 cases projected to occur in 2021 alone. Increased ultraviolet (UV) solar exposure and subsequent Vitamin D levels have been inversely associated with incidences of other solid malignancies, including prostate, female breast, and ovarian cancers due to its ability to inhibit angiogenesis and tumor cell progression.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and is the non-cellular, structural material surrounding and supporting cells. Perlecan, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) encoded by the HSPG2 gene, exists in the ECM of endothelium basement membranes and is critical in processes such as angiogenesis and cartilaginous and osseous development.

HIV can cause a wide range of systemic sequelae and complicate patients’ hospital course in unexpected ways. Here, we present a case of newly diagnosed HIV leading to various infectious and autoimmune conditions that all contributed to dangerous gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Symptoms of chronic osteomyelitis are difficult to recognize, with non-specific pain being the most common finding. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging has been found to have the highest diagnostic accuracy for confirming or excluding chronic osteomyelitis in a patient.

Gynecomastia is defined as enlargement of the glandular tissue in male breasts. Gynecomastia is an uncommon manifestation during treatment with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, such as dasatinib or imatinib, with only a few reports of this occurrence.
