“…The exact etiology of RDD remains unknown, but it has been associated with human herpesvirus 6, lymphoma, Langerhans cell disease, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome-1, Epstein-Barr virus, parvovirus B19, joint disease, asthma, juvenile-onset diabetes, HIV, and red blood cell autoantibodies 6, 7, 10. Our patient did not report any history of these associated conditions.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, only 5 cases of CRDD involving the ear have been reported in the literature 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. In each of those cases, the ear was the only location on the skin involved.…”

“…However, previous case reports of CRDD involving the ear were reported in 2 females and 3 males 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. One case was in a 10-year-old African-American boy 3 and another a white man in his mid-20s, 6 whereas the other 3 case reports do not report patient ethnicity.…”

“…Bunick et al 5 reported a case of CRDD involving the ear, which resulted in improved cosmetic appearance with localized radiation therapy. Most recently, Lin et al 6 also reported a case of CRDD on the ear, which was recalcitrant to antibiotics, antifungals, and topical, intralesional, and oral corticosteroids. Consequently, their patient elected to have a complete auriculectomy with prosthetic ear replacement 6 .…”

“…In the absence of lymph node involvement, RDD limited to the skin is termed cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease (CRDD). To date, only 5 cases of CRDD involving the ear have been reported 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. We present a case of multifocal CRDD with involvement of the right pinna.…”

The skeleton plays a crucial role in human health. Comprehensive and non‐invasive visualization of the bone is in high demand to detect bone‐related diseases. Clinically, traditional imaging methods still suffer from poor imaging sensitivity, long capture time, and inevitable ionizing radiation and are inadequate for providing real‐time spatial information regarding cellular activity. Recently, various new imaging techniques that utilize different kinds of probes have been developed for improving the clinical detection of bone. In vivo imaging of bone can help to continuously detect bone metabolism and growth, diagnose bone metastases, visualize medication delivery to bones, and even image‐guided surgery. This review aims to summarize and discuss the latest published fluorescent probes for the accurate detection of bone. First, we will provide the general design principle of bone remodelling imaging probes and describe various bone‐targeting moieties, highlighting the signal moieties, targeting ligands, and physicochemical properties of the bone‐specific probes. Next, we will discuss the potential targeted fluorescent probes for the sensitive and accurate detection of bone remodelling in recent years. Finally, we summarize and present our perspectives on future advances in this field. We believe this review will encourage novel ideas for the design and development of smart bone‐targeting probes for bone imaging, drug screening, image‐guided surgery, and evaluation of therapeutic effects.

We report a case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis caused by Mucor irregularis. A 47-year-old farmer was presented to our clinic with the history of progressive red plaque around the inner canthus following dacryocystectomy about a year earlier. Linear, aseptate hyphae were seen by direct KOH examination and in biopsy. Fungal culture revealed light yellow filamentous colonies that were identified as Mucor irregularis by nucleotide sequencing of rRNA gene. Amphotericin B and dexamethasone were used in gradually increasing dosage. The treatment lasted 43 days, and the patient received 760 mg total amphotericin B. The patient was discharged after 2 months of treatment. The plaque became smooth, and fungal culture was negative. There was no recurrence for half a year through telephone follow-ups. A review of published studies revealed 23 cases of Mucor irregularis infection. Most cases resulted following injuries or surgical complications. Farmers and manual laborers were most at risk with males outnumbering females among patients. Amphotericin B and its liposomal preparations remain most effective treatment choices.
