Ciliated Cyst

Cutaneous ciliated cyst was described as a painless cyst occurring on the lower limbs of women between the ages of 15 and 30 years. The cysts are typically lined by ciliated cuboidal to columnar epithelium with pseudostratified areas and focal squamous metaplasia is occasionally present. Immunohistochemical studies have demonstrated that the cysts are PR and ER positive, similar to the epithelia of the fallopian tubes. However, outliers of cutaneous ciliated cysts, including those in male patients and in unexpected locations such as the scalp, finger, and scapular area, have been reported. Thus, some hypotheses have been proposed including the Mullerian heterotopias, ciliated metaplasia of eccrine sweat glands, and embryonic remnants of the cloacal membrane. We report a rare case of cutaneous ciliated cyst on the left shoulder of a 7-year-old boy and this is the eighth case of cutaneous ciliated cyst in male patients. Moreover, through reviewing the articles, we try to propose the classification of the cutaneous ciliated cysts into the cutaneous Mullerian cysts and the ciliated cutaneous eccrine cysts.

Ciliated Cyst

Cutaneous ciliated cyst are relatively rare benign lesions, found in the dermis or subcutis of the lower extremities of young females in their second and third decades. The cysts are typically lined by ciliated cuboidal to columnar epithelium, showing pseudostratified areas and focal squamous metaplasia is occasionally present. Immunohistochemical studies have demonstrated that the cysts can be PR and ER positive, similar to the epithelia of the fallopian tubes. The pathogenesis of the cyst is yet being studied, some hypotheses have been proposed including the Mullerian heterotopias, ciliated metaplasia of eccrine sweat glands, and embryonic remnants of the cloacal membrane. We report a cutaneous ciliated cyst over the right gluteus area in a 29 year old female. On histologic examination, the cyst was lined by ciliated columnar epithelium, showing occasional papillary projections.

Objective: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate patients with clinically diagnosed lymphoedema of the lower extremities. The proportions of primary and secondary lymphoedema, the possible aetiologic factors and the concomitance of chronic venous diseases and lymphoedema were focused on. Method: The male patients who attended our outpatient clinic during 2000 and 2004 were evaluated. In all, 160 male patients with 5 cm circumference difference at calf level between two lower extremities or with clinically diagnosed bilateral leg oedema were enrolled. All patients underwent duplex venous ultrasonography and lymphoscintigraphy. Venography was performed in 12 patients with normal lymphoscintigraphy and ultrasonography. Results: The age distribution was between 20 and 54 years (mean ± SD; 22.9 ± 4.3). Among 160 patients, 70.0% had lymphoedema, while 7.5% had chronic venous insufficiency, 3.75% chronic deep venous thrombosis, 7.5% concomitant venous disease and lymphatic obstruction, and 7.5% idiopathic oedema. In the last 3.75% the pathology was Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome. Of the primary lymphoedema patients (16.25%), 18 were praecox, six tarda and two were congenital types. Conclusion: In young male patients, the causes of secondary lymphoedema are lymphadenectomy, neoplastic metastasis, cellulitis, lymphangitis, etc. Further techniques confirmed the clinical diagnosis of lymphoedema in 77.5% (sum of lymphoedema and concomitant disease) of all patients. With these findings lymphoedema can be diagnosed clinically, and further diagnostic techniques can be reserved unless treatment is effective.

✓ This report describes 3 young male patients with multiple lumbar spondylolyses in combination with a symptomatic epidural hematoma. The records of all 3 patients were reviewed for clinical details. All patients were successfully treated without surgical intervention. Initial neuroimaging results for all patients revealed epidural hematomas, and follow-up imaging confirmed resolution of the hematomas. The relevant literature is briefly reviewed to examine the rarity of this combination. Spontaneous epidural hematomas may occur in the setting of spondylolysis, and this diagnosis should be considered when imaging reveals an unusual epidural lesion in a young active patient.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of geriatric asthma through immunoglobulin E (IgE), interleukin-17A (IL-17A), IL-17F, and glucocorticoid receptor-β (GR-β) expression. Methods We studied 51 geriatric male patients with asthma and 50 young male patients with asthma. We also included 21 normal geriatric males and 21 normal young males. All geriatric and young patients were divided into groups according to pulmonary function. Levels of cytokines, such as IgE, IL-17A, IL-17F, and GR-β, were measured. Pulmonary function was assessed. The results from patients were compared with those from the 42 healthy subjects. Results Serum IgE, IL-17A, IL-17F, and GR-β levels in geriatric patients with moderate or severe asthma were significantly higher than those in young patients with moderate asthma and in the normal population. Geriatric patients with asthma had higher asthma control test scores than did young patients with asthma. Conclusion Hormone resistance in geriatric male patients with asthma is more serious than that in young male patients with asthma. Airway inflammation and airway remodeling in geriatric male patients with asthma may be more serious than those in young male patients with asthma, even when there is similar pulmonary function.

Abstract Background Initial misdiagnosis of cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) may lead to irreversible loss of vision and systemic deterioration. We retrospectively reported some misdiagnosis related to CMVR. Methods The medical records of 92 consecutive patients diagnosed or misdiagnosed as CMVR were reviewed retrospectively at the ophthalmology department of Beijing youan hospital from July 2017 to October 2019. The primary outcome measure was to evaluate cases with CMVR who were initially misdiagnosed or who were misdiagnosed as CMVR. Results In 8 (8.7%) out of the 92 patients, the initial diagnosis was incorrect. The median age of the eight patients was 37.5 years (range 20-46 yeas). All (7/7, 100%) patients were male. Patients with CMVR were initially misdiagnosed as diabetic retinopathy (1/92,1.1%), branch retinal vein occlusion (1/92,1.1%), ischemic optic neuropathy (1/92,1.1%), Behcet′s disease (1/92,1.1%), iridocyclitis (2/92, 2.3%), and progressive outer retinal necrosis (1/92,1.1%). One patient with binocular renal retinopathy and chronic renal insufficiency was misdiagnosed as CMVR (1/92,1.1%). All patients presented binocular involvement (sixteen eyes), and two patients (four eyes) presented pan-retinal involvement. Fourteen eyes (14/16, 87.5%) had optic disc or macular area involved. One patient is blind, and two patients had a low vision when the diagnosis is finally clear. Five patients had systemic symptoms. Seven patients were finally diagnosed with AIDS showing an extremely low level of CD4 + T lymphocyte: median of 5 cells/ul (range 1-9 cells/ul). Conclusion The misdiagnosis of CMVR can occur in young male patients. The ophthalmologist should pay more attention to CMVR and systemic symptoms insulting to avoid deterioration of vision and delaying in the management of systemic conditions.

Introduction. Reperfusion-reoxygenation syndrome (RRS) after revascularization of the lower limbs in obliterating atherosclerosis of the arteries is accompanied by a violation of the oxygen transport function of the blood (OTFB) and the content of gas transmitters (GTs). Reperfusion injury affects not only the tissues of the lower limbs, but also of anatomically distant organs, which supposes that effective RRS correction is required. Aim. To study the effect of Corvitin on the OTFB parameters and the content of GT of nitrogen monoxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the venous blood of the forearm after revascularization of the lower limb in chronic atherosclerotic occlusion of the superficial femoral artery (SFA). Materials and methods. The study included 118 male patients. Revascularization of the lower limb was carried out by the method of loop endaterectomy from the SFA. Patients of group I (n=52) received traditional medication, 51 patients of group II additionally received Corvitin. In the blood from the vein of the elbow bend before the operation, on the 3rd and 8th days after it, the indices of OTFB and GTs were determined. Results. In group I, on the 3rd day after surgery, pO2 increased in relation to healthy individuals by 5.2–18.5%, while pCO2 decreased by 4.8–6.7%, depending on the stage of initial ischemia. The concentrations of NO and H2S increased by 9.2–50.1% and 9.2–21.1%, respectively. The increase in the parameters of hyperoxemia, hypocapnemia and GT after the return of blood circulation decreases with the use of Corvitin (p˂0.05). By the end of the early postoperative period, the indicators of OTFB and GT not only return to their initial values, but also do not significantly differ from the group of healthy individuals (p˃0.05). Conclusion. The use of Corvitin effectively corrects violations of OTFB and GT during ischemia-reperfusion of the lower limbs, which prevents tissue reperfusion damage.

This retrospective study addresses a series of 156 cases of forearm fractures. These 156 cases were managed in the trauma-orthopedic department (B4) of Fez University Hospital, Morocco, from May 2008 till January 2013. The purpose of this study is to analyze epidemiological and clinical factors of diaphyseal forearm fractures and the results of their treatment with dynamic compression plate (DCP), as well as the complications and therapeutic errors of this surgical technique. The frequency of hospitalization in the trauma-orthopedic department was 3,96%. Ages ranged between 16 and 83, the average age was 32. 132 patients were male (85%). 90% were managed at the day of trauma. Traffic accidents were the most frequent cause in 52% patients. The fracture was in the left forearm in 65% of patients. 53% of fracture lines were in the middle third of the forearm. 38 fractures were open, and 30 were admitted for polytrauma. Osteosynthesis was performed with dynamic compression plate for all patients. In comparison with the literature, our series shows the predominance of young male patients, with traffic accidents being the cause. Osteosynthesis with dynamic compression plate remains the treatment of choice that provides satisfactory results if the accuracy in this technique was respected.
