Caucasian Male

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, a rare condition of unknown etiology, was first described by Kitamura et al. from Japan in 1960. It is characterized by a triad consisting of well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian male, who had asymptomatic symmetrical facial lesions since the age of 42. His family history was unremarkable. Published erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli cases of the last 10 years are summarized in this report to demonstrate the variability and differences in the clinical presentation of this uncommon diagnosis.

Assessment And Treatment

Wandering spleen and gastric volvulus are two rare entities that have been described in association with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The diagnosis is difficult and any delay can result in ischemia and necrosis of both organs. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl, previously operated on for anterior diaphragmatic hernia and intrathoracic gastric volvulus, that presented to our service for a subdiaphragmatic gastric volvulus recurrence associated with a wandering spleen. In this report we reviewed the literature, analyzing the clinical presentation, diagnostic assessment, and treatment options of both conditions, in particular in the case associated with diaphragmatic hernia.

The Authors report a case of vesical hemangioma; it was typical for site and clinical presentation whereas the age of onset and gross appearance were atypical. A TUR biopsy was performed without complications, but did not confirm diagnosis. A partial cystectomy was performed. A one-year follow-up, negative for recurrence, confirmed this procedure as the definitive treatment of choice.

Immunodeficiency States

The von Meyenburg complex (VMC) is a rare, congenital malformation of the ductal plate. It is typically asymptomatic and usually discovered incidentally. We report a unique case of recurrent life-threatening hepatobiliary sepsis caused by VMC and a review of the literature. A 62-year-old man presented with recurrent episodes of life-threatening hepatobiliary sepsis. Extensive investigations only showed that he has VMCs without any other source of sepsis or underlying immunodeficiency states. Despite prolonged courses of antibiotics which resolved each episode of sepsis, he suffers repeated recurrences of hepatobiliary sepsis. Liver transplantation is now being considered in view of his refractoriness to medical therapy. As VMC can present with severe hepatobiliary sepsis, it is therefore essential to recognise its presence. This case adds to the literature the atypical but life-threatening clinical presentation of VMC.

Duodenal Hematoma

Duodenal hematoma is a rare complication of endoscopic duodenal biopsy that occurs mainly in children or adults with impaired coagulation. The clinical presentation consists of signs of intestinal obstruction, and pancreatitis and direct hyperbilirubinemia are possible complications caused by ampullary obstruction. A case of a six-year-old girl who presented with a duodenal hematoma and acute pancreatitis after having an endoscopic duodenal biopsy is reported. A review of the literature and data from all similar cases reported so far are briefly presented and discussed.

Background: Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (PCAS) is a suppurative process that involves the scalp, eventually resulting in extensive scarring and irreversible alopecia. This condition often presents in males of African American origin. Objective: This article describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an Aboriginal Canadian male suffering from PCAS. A literature review on the etiology, pathology, differential diagnosis, and management is also discussed. Conclusion: Careful analysis of the pathology and clinical presentation can aid in the timely diagnosis and management of this challenging condition. The clinician dealing with patients suffering from PCAS has several treatment options available to help successfully manage patients with straightforward or recalcitrant disease.
