Abstract Plexiform schwannoma is a rare Schwann cell tumor that usually occurs in the head and neck. Here, we report a giant plexiform schwannoma (5.5 × 4.0 cm) in the right plantar aspect of the foot. This tumor presented from the dermis to the subcutaneous fat in the plantar aspect, forming a multiocular shape.

Angiosarcoma is a malignant endothelial cell tumor that involves a variety of anatomic sites with the skin being the most common. Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a diagnostic challenge as it can be confused with lesions such as rosacea, hemangiomas and hematomas. Since the tumor has a propensity for early metastasis and extensive intradermal spread, early diagnostic intervention via punch biopsy may prevent delays in diagnosis and improve tumor resectability and prognosis. We present a case of cutaneous angiosarcoma on the nose and cheeks of a 75-year-old male that resembled rosacea.

A case describing an O-to-Z double-advancement flap used to treat a 62-year-old woman with a slowly enlarging exophytic mass in the plantar aspect of the right foot is presented. Clinical details, surgical technique, and histologic photographs are described. This case report highlights the rare exophytic presentation of a pedal angioleiomyoma, which has not been described in the literature before.

Case report for the 18 years old female patient with a giant cell tumor of the distal articular end of the right tibia is presented. The surgical intervention included segmental resection of the articular end of the right tibia and substitution of the defect with the custom-made ankle endoprosthesis. The follow up period made up 4 years. The range of motion in the right ankle joint was satisfactory, no relapse occurred and the implant components were stable.

Introduction: Morel–Lavallée (MLL) is an uncommon entity that is missed by many physicians, it is the result of a shearing force that leads to degloving of the subcutaneous fat from the underlying deep fascia. Case Report: We present a case of a 15-year-old male patient who presented 3 months after the initial crush injury with a large MLL lesion at the lateral aspect of the right proximal thigh. He was treated with incision and drainage with compressive dressing and a negative pressure drain. Conclusion: Diagnosis of MLL is usually clinical and can be aided with radiological tools like MRI that is the gold standard of imaging in this lesion. Several treatment options are available, ranging from conservative treatment with compressive bandages to percutaneous drainage, injection of sclerotic agents, and surgical treatment with incision, drainage, and debridement. Diagnosis and treatment should be familiar to all caregivers to prevent further complications that could be life or organ-threatening. Keywords: Morel–Lavallée, thigh trauma, chronic Morel–Lavallée, thigh mass.

Following lumbar epidural analgesia, a 26 year old primigravida developed right ptosis and other signs of paralysis of the right sympathetic supply to the head and neck. The case is discussed and compared with cases of Horner's syndrome which have followed epidural analgesia. It was probably due to differential sympathetic blockade.

AbstractAs many important nerves emerge from the posterior border of sternocleidomastoid (SCM), it is important to know the morphological anatomy of sternocleidomastoid for surgical as well as radiological purpose. During routine dissection of head and neck for student demonstration, an accessory head of sternocleidomastoid was found arising from the superior surface of the middle third of the clavicle on the right side of the neck. Sternocleidomastoid is a key landmark as it divides the neck into anterior and lateral regions (anterior and posterior triangles respectively. Morphological variations arise due to the complexity of sequential development of any region. SCM is an important surgical landmark for clinicians. A well versed knowledge of its variations can avoid diagnostic and surgical complications.

A 14-year-old boy presented with painless gross hematuria after a blunt trauma to his right lumbar region. Abdominal ultrasonography and abdominal computerized tomography revealed that the right kidney was hydronephrotic; contrast material delineated a hematoma inside the kidney. The patient underwent a right simple nephrectomy and after histopathological examination was found to have a renomedullary interstitial cell tumor of the right kidney. This tumor is common in patients older than 50 years, whereas our patient was very young. The diagnosis of this small tumor is not possible by conventional radiological techniques and histopathological examination is mandatory for its diagnosis.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a relatively uncommon, benign, histiocytic proliferative cutaneous disorder that typically affects children, with the head and neck being the most common sites. The present case report describes an isolated subcutaneous JXG in a 4-year-old girl who presented with a circumscribed oval mass located in the lower eyelid of the right eye. This lesion was histologically diagnosed as JXG after a surgical resection of the mass.

Parry Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare disorder, characterized by unilateral facial atrophy of the skin, subcutaneous fat, muscles, cartilages, and even bone. Various systemic manifestations re­ported with this syndrome are neurologic, maxillofacial, and ophthalmologic. The etiology is still unknown. Herein we present a case report of 23 years young engineering student who had PRS and got a fracture of the right angle of his mandible after a road traffic accident. The treatment was challenging as he had nonunion at the fracture site.
