Melanoma Case

Background: Nevus spilus is characterized by a pigmented patch with scattered flat or maculopapular speckles. Nevus spilus was first described by Burkley in 1842. Since then, this lesion has been widely debated in the literature, particularly for the possible occurrence of melanoma within the lesion. Objective: We describe the case of a 65-year-old female presenting with a nodular achromic melanoma that occurred within a nevus spilus on the left thigh. Conclusion: Our observation is consistent with the idea that this entity in some circumstances may have the ability to evolve into a malignant melanoma.

We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis in an 84 year-old man affected by diabetes mellitus. The patient was admitted in the Emergency Department of our hospital because of an acute and strong left leg pain that began almost 8 hours before admission. The left leg had an increased size and a movement limitation, with a hard haemathoma in the left thigh with subcutaneous crepitus. The lesion became worse and larger rapidly, with a wide extension from the back to the popliteal fossa. An antimicrobial therapy was immediately started with morphine for pain. A surgical debridment was performed, but the patient died for multiorgan failure. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare and mortal disease, the early diagnosis is a challenge for the Emergency Department where patients are admitted and assessed primarly.

Rare Case Report

AbstractLiposarcoma in the inguinal region though rare are clinically significant lesions. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult since the clinical findings are very similar to that of inguinal hernia. We report a rare case of Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord in 85 year old male, clinically diagnosed as left sided indirect inguinal hernia. Surgical excision specimen showed multiple globular lipomatous masses which were yellowish and grey tan with areas of myxoid degeneration and necrosis seen. Microscopic examination showed adipocytes arranged in lobules with numerous blood vessels, lipoblasts and myxoid stroma confirming the diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma. He is on regular follow up since two years without any recurrence or metastasis. Our case report highlights the importance of sampling and examination of fatty masses in the inguinal region to rule out the possibility of liposarcoma as they are mistaken for lipoma at surgery.

Abstract A 4-year-old girl underwent an open-neck surgical procedure for a recurrent pyriform sinus fistula (PSF). A catheter could not be inserted through the endoscope into the opening of the fistula. An open-neck surgical procedure with coring out of the fistula stained with a dye revealed that the fistula was missed near the upper lobe of the left thyroid. A guide wire was successfully inserted via the endoscope into the fistula, and the wire was gripped with forceps under fluoroscopic guidance and removed. As a modification of the surgical approach and treatment for the orifice of the PSF, a catheter was exchanged through the guide wire, and a nylon thread was passed into the catheter. The tip of the nylon thread from the oral side was fastened and fixed to a gauze ball. After removing the nylon thread, the orifice of the sinus fistula was recognized and sutured. She was discharged uneventfully and has done well without a postoperative recurrence for 12 months.
