Wall Tumor

Desmoid tumors (also called desmoids fibromatosis) are rare slow growing benign and musculoaponeurotic tumors. Although these tumors have a propensity to invade surrounding tissues, they are not malignant. These tumors are associated with women of fertile age, especially during and after pregnancy and postoperative surgeries. Our clinical case is interesting because of the rarity of the pathology and the difficulties in setting the correct diagnosis. The patient, with a history of laparoscopic myomectomy (2012), was preparing for a routine surgery for the endometrioma of the anterior abdominal wall, according to the results of the ultrasound and computed tomography. After surgical treatment, the final diagnosis was changed, based on the histological findings. Key words: desmoid tumor, abdominal wall tumor, fibroid.

We evaluated the initial and final diagnosis of 80 patients with delirium arriving at the emergence unit of a university hospital in a large Brazilian city over a period of 30 months up to December 1991. The diagnosis was based on the DSM-IIIR criteria. Patients with a known history of head trauma or epileptic seizure and patients younger than 13 years were excluded. Only patients with a disease of up to 7 days were included.The patients were subdivided into four etiologic groups: vascular; associated with the use of alcohol; infectious-parasitic; miscellaneous.The results showed a rate of correct diagnosis ranging from 65 to 80% with the use of kappa test (standard good to excelent). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive and negative predictive values had results showing different conditions for initial diagnosis in each group. This study can help the initial diagnosis of delirium and the choice for diagnostic testing.

We are reporting a case of abdominal wall endometrioma (AWE) in a 32-year-old woman who had an 8 months history of lower abdominal pain and lump. The physical examination revealed an ill-defined mass without tenderness. Computed tomography (CT) showed an enhancing is odense mass at the level of umbilicus right to mid line in right rectus abdominis muscle. The patient was treated with a wide radical resection with a 1 cm margin. There was no postoperative complication. The histological examination confirmed endometriosis. The patient is now on regular follow-up and doing well without any recurrence, five months after her operation.Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2015) Vol.03 No.02 Issue 10Page: 44-46

AbstractObjective:Schwannomas are slowly growing tumours derived from Schwann cells. We present a clinical case of schwannoma in the mandibular angle.Method:Case report and a review of the world literature concerning intraosseous schwannoma of the maxillofacial region.Results:Schwannomas or neurilemmomas are slow-growing, benign neoplasms derived from Schwann cells. Intraoral lesions are unusual and intraosseous schwannomas are even rarer, representing less than 1 per cent of benign primary tumours of the bones. We present a clinical case of schwannoma in the mandibular angle mimicking a keratocystic odontogenic tumour, with a complicated posterior evolution.Conclusion:Clinically, neurilemmomas are slow-growing tumours which may be present for years before becoming symptomatic. Radiographically, the image may be suggestive of a benign process such as an odontogenic keratocyst. Histological analysis of the specimens obtained is extremely important in order to establish the final diagnosis.

Background. Nowadays, dermatoses with mixed clinical picture and resistant to classical management become more common. The presence of various genetic disorders typical for most chronic dermatoses may indicate possible combination of several nosologies.Clinical Case Description. The article presents the clinical case of multimorbid condition in 10 years old patient who has nucleotide variants in CARD14 and EXPH5 genes. Mutations in CARD14 gene are typical for patients with type 2 psoriasis and pityriasis rubra pilaris (autosomal dominant type), while mutations in EXPH5 gene are typical for patients with non-specific epidermolysis bullosa (autosomal recessive type). Mutation in the TGM1 gene that is described in patients with congenital ichthyosis (autosomal recessive type), pathogenic mutations in KRT74 gene typical for ectodermal dysplasia, hypotrichosis and uncombable hair syndrome, and mutations in the KRT86 gene typical for monilethrix were also revealed. Medical history taking and histological examination as well as clinical data evaluating are crucial for correct diagnosis. They allow to understand the absence of the such manifestations in relatives and reveal various pathological processes in the epidermis. Molecular genetic testing with new generation sequencing (NGS) helps to finally establish the diagnosis and determine the further tactics for patient management.Conclusion. Multidisciplinary approach and use of high-technology methods of examination and treatment (such as molecular genetic testing and biological therapy) are required for final diagnosis in severe forms of chronic dermatosis resistant to treatment and for decision on correct tactics for the further management of such patients.

Ventral Hernias

The treatment of ventral hernias in the history of surgery has always been an urgent problem. In the 90s of the XIX century, hernioplasty using metal threads and plates began, but the long-term results of treatment of patients remained unsatisfactory. A particularly urgent problem in herniology during the last century was the treatment of postoperative ventral hernias, and patients with large and even more giant hernias were often recognized as incurable. The great revolution in herniology was the introduction into practice of biologically inert mesh polymer materials. A fundamentally different method of endoprosthesis of the abdominal wall is retromuscular («sublay») hernioplasty, proposed by the French surgeon of Algerian origin Rene Stoppa in 1965. In 1966, a compatriot, colleague and friend R. Stoppa Jean Rives used the principles of this technique when eliminating postoperative median hernia by prosthetics of the anterior abdominal wall retromuscularly through the xiphopubic incision. Decades later, during the rapid development of endovideosurgery, the principle of operation Rives-Stoppa was the foundation for the development of modern minimally invasive and highly effective methods for eliminating inguinal and other ventral hernias. Thus, the method of prosthetics of the anterior abdominal wall proposed 55 years ago by Rives-Stoppa was an ideological breakthrough in herniology and significantly improved the results of operations for external abdominal hernias.

Jejunal Obstruction

This case report acids one more to the nine reported cases of intestinal obstruction in children due to hemorrhage occurring in the duodenum or jejunum following a minor nonpenetrating injury to the abdominal wall. Delay in making a correct diagnosis and instituting the proper treatment was due primarily in this case, as in all others reported, to a lack of knowledge that such obstruction could follow such an apparently minor injury to the abdominal wall. Nothing in the symptomatology, physical findings or laboratory data alone can be considered diagnostic of an intramural or subserosal hematoma in the intestinal tract. These, however, coupled with a history of trauma to the abdominal wall and roentgenograms which show the "coiled spring" appearance, lead to a correct diagnosis.

Cardiac Channelopathy

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a very rare genetic cardiac channelopathy, which has not been sufficiently studied yet. The first clinical manifestation has been described during the first decade of life, linked to strenuous exercise or acute emotion. The absence of structural heart disease and a family history of possible arrhythmogenic disorder generally guide the diagnosis towards a potential channelopathy. The opportunity to perform an extensive genetic analysis allows physicians to make the correct diagnosis and to optimize clinical management. The identification of more CPVT cases could affirm what we already know and primarily implement the current knowledge.
