1) RARE case with TYPICAL features.
2) FREQUENT case with ATYPICAL features.
3) Cases with a convincing response to new treatments, i.e. single case of off-label use.

Case Report format:
- Maximum word count: 3000 words.
- Title: Case Report: “area of focus”
- Abstract.
- Introduction: including what is unique about the case and medical literature references.
- Case description: including de-identified patient information, relevant physical examination and other clinical findings, relevant past interventions, and their outcomes.
- A figure or table showcasing a timeline with relevant data from the episode of care.
- Diagnostic assessment, details on the therapeutic intervention, follow-up, and outcomes, as specified in the CARE guidelines.
- Discussion: strengths and limitations of the approach to the case, discussion of the relevant medical literature (similar and contrasting cases), take-away lessons from the case.
- Patient perspective.

Please, note that authors are required to obtain written informed consent from the patients (or their legal representatives) for the publication.
