Abstract
BACKGROUND To discuss the clinical features of a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). METHODS The clinical data of one patient with HHT are retrospectively analysed. In addition, we review the relevant literature. RESULTS A 32-year-old male patient was admitted to the hematology outpatient department of our hospital and presented with intermittent epistaxis for 24 years. In recent years, he was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. The nasal endoscopic examination showed telangiectasia at the front of the right-middle turbinate and the left nasal cavity. He had ENG genetic mutation positivity. CONCLUSIONS Patients with HHT may suffer from many complications, including bleeding, anemia, iron deficiency, and high-output heart failure. These patients may have telangiectasias and arteriovenous malformations in various organs.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a novel clinical disease that is characterized by elevated serum IgG4 concentrations and tumefaction or tissue infiltrated by IgG4+ plasma cells. The clinical manifestations of IgG4-RD depend on the type of tissues affected. IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis is a type of IgG4-RD. We report a patient who initially visited a local hospital with a 5-month history of jaundice. He was found to have a mass in the upper part of the common bile duct that mimicked cholangiocarcinoma. He underwent surgery in our hospital and was later diagnosed with IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis. We administered prednisolone 40 mg once a day for treatment. Taking into account the possible side effects of moderate-dose hormone therapy, we also administered teprenone, potassium chloride, and calcium carbonate. The patient did not have any recurrence of symptoms or adverse drug reactions during follow-up.

Abstract
PEComas are a group of very rare mesenchymal neoplasms, which express myogenic and melanocytic markers, such as HMB-45 and actin. Situs inversus totalis represents a complete left to right side transposition of the asymmetrical thoracic and abdominal organs and incorporates dextrocardia. The presence of uterus PEComa in the setting of situs inversus totalis is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of PEComa of uterus with coexistence of situs inversus totalis and review the literatures. To the best of our knowledge this is the fist report of a uterus PEComa patient with situs inversus totalis.
