Background: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) with satellitosis is a rare phenomenon that typically occurs in children and teenagers. It can be seen after excision or trauma to the original lesion. Objective: The aim is to review an atypical case of PG with satellitosis and to highlight a conservative approach to management. Methods: This article includes a case report of a 48-year-old woman developing PG with satellitosis in her right foot and includes a review of the literature. Results: There are few cases of PG with satellitosis in the literature. Our patient differs from most given her age and the location of the lesions. She was managed differently with a conservative observational approach, and, over time, her symptoms abated. Conclusion: PG with satellitosis can occur in varying patient populations with varying presentations. Although several treatment options exist, managing patients conservatively should be considered an approach to management. Early investigations should be conducted to rule out more sinister items in the differential diagnosis.

Pectoralis major rupture is uncommon. Injury usually occurs from sporting activities. The incidence and management of pectoralis major rupture is not well known, despite 74 case reports in the English language literature over the past 34 years. Two cases of chronic pectoralis ruptures and their successful surgical management are described. A review of the literature shows that most injuries occur at the humeral insertion, and most are complete ruptures. Distinguishing between complete and partial ruptures is important. Complete ruptures are best treated surgically in the acute situation. When chronic complete ruptures present, surgical repair yields fair to good results. Acute partial ruptures can be effectively managed conservatively or with surgery. Chronic partial ruptures can be managed surgically with good results, following unsatisfactory conservative management in the acute situation.

Abstract Subarachnoid-pleural fistula is a rare condition; only 18 cases have been reported. The 19th case of subarachnoid-pleural fistula. which followed a small caliber gunshot wound, is reported. Diagnosis was made via radionuclide scan, and primary operative repair was necessitated by the failure of conservative management. A review of the literature reveals several means of diagnosing this disorder, as well as a number of management alternatives.
