Background: Cutaneous pancreatic fat necrosis is a pathognomonic sign for pancreatic disease and usually presents as subcutaneous nodules in the pretibial region. Objective: A case of cutaneous pancreatic fat necrosis is presented in which the clinical presentation of diffuse erythema was unusual. This disease is discussed and its possible etiologies are reviewed. Methods: A MEDLINE search for cases of cutaneous pancreatic fat necrosis presenting as diffuse erythema without nodules was conducted. Results: Diffuse erythema is an unusual presentation of cutaneous pancreatic fat necrosis. Conclusion: This may be the first case of cutaneous pancreatic fat necrosis presenting as diffuse erythema.

We present the unusual case of a woman presenting with an incarcerated umbilical hernia. Intraoperatively, the contents of the hernia were found to be an ovary. We outline the clinical presentation of our patient, investigations and management as well as a discussion on unusual contents of umbilical hernias. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a non-malignant ovary incarcerated in an umbilical hernia.

Normal Diaphragm

A case of an ectopic lobe of the liver connected to a normal diaphragm is described. A 9-year-old, castrated male cat underwent thoracotomy for a pulmonary mass. The removed mass was attached to the diaphragm that histologically was ectopic liver. The ectopic liver had no connection with the main liver. Because the occurrence of ectopic supradiaphragmatic hepatic tissue is a possibility, this should be considered as a differential diagnosis for caudal pulmonary or caudal mediastinal masses in a cat. This report describes, to the authors’ knowledge, the first case of ectopic hepatic tissue attached to the diaphragm of a cat. The authors also characterize the asymptomatic clinical presentation and radiographic findings of this cat and suggest further imaging with computed tomography in unusual case presentations.

A case of severe acute pancreatitis presenting with polyarthropathy and subcutaneous nodules but no abdominal pain is described. Abdominal CT showed multiple subcutaneous soft tissue densities which on histological examination were identified as areas of fat necrosis consistent with pancreatic disease. Such CT appearances have not been described previously.

Enhanced Computed Tomography

Coronary sinus aneurysm (CSA) is an extremely rare entity. Herein, we present an unusual case of an 18-year-old symptomatic female patient with a giant CSA. Secondary vena cava aneurysms were also manifested. The final diagnosis was confirmed by enhanced computed tomography (CT) and cardiac catheterization. As far as we know, it is the first case that such a giant CSA coexists with secondary vena cava aneurysms. Considering the complexity of postoperative reconstruction, we believe that heart transplantation may be the optimal way for treatment. The patient received anticoagulant due to the superior vena cava (SVC) thrombosis while waiting for a donor.

“Multiple chemical sensitivities” has become an increasingly common clinical presentation to physicians, though it is infrequently seen by psychotherapists. This case report describes a 61-year-old woman who presents with a long history of chemical sensitivities, that led to a somatization disorder with debilitating agoraphobia, depression, and marital problems. Features of a variety of anxiety disorders are present, as are metacognitions that required an unusual case conceptualization. A cognitive therapy case conceptualization and treatment are described, which address the highly idiosyncratic clinical presentation of this patient.

Two cases of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the bladder are reported here. Both patients were male and presented with macroscopic hematuria; in the first case terminal hematuria was associated with irritative voiding symptoms. The second case was a smoker with hematuria unresponsive to medical treatment and anemia. Clinical presentation, pathological features, treatment, and prognosis are discussed. Due to rarity of this pathological condition, there are no guidelines concerning treatment and follow-up. We present our follow-up scheme and highlight the use of laparoscopic partial cystectomy as a successful treatment approach.

First Case

A 4-year-old boy with atypical, complete DiGeorge and CHARGE (coloboma, heart defects, atresia choanae, growth retardation, genital abnormalities and ear abnormalities) syndromes presented with frequent episodes of a painful, markedly erythematous eruption associated with swelling. Evaluation revealed non-specific findings on skin biopsy at the time of eruption and no pathogenic mutation in the SCN9A gene. The patient was diagnosed with secondary erythromelalgia based on clinical presentation. Erythromelalgia is a rare disorder characterised by recurrent episodes of pain and erythema typically affecting the distal extremities. This case represents the first case of erythromelalgia in the setting of DiGeorge and CHARGE syndromes.

Congenital Dermal Sinus

Abstract OBJECTIVE Congenital dermal sinus tracts most frequently occur in the midline and are often associated with dermoid or epidermoid inclusion cysts. A lateral cranial origin is extremely rare and anatomically inconsistent with an etiology involving closure of the rostral neural tube during embryogenesis. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We describe the first case of a pterional cranial dermal sinus tract associated with a small epidermoid, with extension to the dura of the anterior cranial fossa. INTERVENTION The extra- and intracranial portions of the tract were visualized and resected with the use of an operating microscope. Pathological diagnosis confirmed dermal sinus tract. CONCLUSION We review the existing literature and address the developmental and clinical features pertinent to the management of cranial dermal sinus tracts, emphasizing the need for exploration of these potentially harmful lesions.
