We report the case of a young woman who, over a period of five years was diagnosed and treated for a giant-cell tumour of bone, osteomalacia and fluorosis. A review of the literature revealed a correlation between these three diagnoses, the primary pathology being fluorosis and the remaining symptoms being secondary manifestations. It is important to be aware of this association, especially in regions with endemic skeletal fluorosis.

A primary hydatid cyst in the pelvis is rare, and usually presents with pressure symptoms affecting the adjacent abdominal organs. We describe such a cyst which protruded through the sciatic notch and presented as a gluteal swelling with a foot drop due to compression of the lumbosacral nerve roots. Surgical excision and postoperative treatment with albendazole for six weeks were effective in controlling the disease and preventing recurrence.
