Abstract Background Fibrofolliculoma is a benign, perifollicular, connective tissue tumor, which is a clinically asymptomatic, 2-4 mm, skin-colored, dome-shaped smooth papule. It usually arises in the form of multiple lesions, and very rarely presents as a solitary lesion. Case presentation A 68-year-old female presented with an asymptomatic, flesh-colored mass on the right upper eyelid. The 5×5×4 mm lesion was located near upper lid margin. It was a skin-colored, dome-shaped, smooth nodule, with eyelashes on the surface, rubbery to palpation and not painful. The lesion was excised completely, and the diagnosis of fibrofolliculoma was confirmed through a histological exam. Conclusions Solitary fibrofolliculomas is rarely arising in the eyelid. However, it should be suspected when a localized mass lesion of the eyelid is encountered.

Abstract Background Epibulbar complex choristoma, a rare congenital epibulbar tumor, has many diverse forms. Reviewing the literature, it can present clinically as either a circumferential or isolated epibulbar mass, limbal tumor, lateral canthal mass, aggregate of ectopic cilia in the upper eyelid, eyelid mass mimicking chalazion, or lacrimal caruncle mass. The management depends on the extent of involvement, the risk of amblyopia, and cosmetic concerns. Here, we report an atypical presentation of epibulbar complex choristoma with simultaneous eyelid involvement. Case presentation A 1-month-old full-term boy was brought to our clinic with congenital epibulbar mass of the right eye with simultaneous eyelid involvement. Dilated fundus examination was unremarkable. Survey for linear nevus sebaceous Jadassohn was negative. Due to concerns of possible amblyopia and cosmetics, lamellar keratectomy, sclerotomy, and conjunctivoplasty were performed to remove the epibulbar lesion. The eyelid defect was reconstructed with 6–0 Vicryl sutures. Histopathological examination reported complex choristoma. Upon three-year follow-up, low astigmatism and favorable cosmetics results were achieved. Conclusions Congenital complex choristoma can present clinically as an epibulbar mass with eyelid involvement. The management depends on the extent of involvement, the risk of amblyopia, and cosmetic concerns. The method of eyelid reconstruction should be tailored according to the residual eyelid defect.

Abstract Background This case report demonstrates the value of IMPEDE-FX plugs in an embolization procedure of a false lumen of an infrarenal post-dissection aneurysm. Case presentation A 69-year-old patient was treated with mitral valve replacement, complicated by a Stanford type-A dissection. After 9 years he presented with an enlarging infrarenal post-dissection aneurysm. The false lumen was embolized using multiple IMPEDE-FX plugs as part of the treatment in addition to embolization of the inferior mesenteric artery and overstenting of the re-entry in the right iliac artery. At 15 months the CTA showed a fully thrombosed false lumen and remodeling of the true lumen. Conclusions The false lumen of an infrarenal post-dissection aneurysm can successfully be embolized using IMPEDE-FX embolization plugs as part of the treatment strategy. Prospective trials on patients with non-thrombosed false lumina are indicated.

Abstract Background: SARS-COV-2, first reported in December 2019, usually presents with respiratory symptoms but can have various other manifestations and sequelae. One of the rare complications of COVID-19 infection is Reactive Arthritis. This complication is more likely to occur following sexually transmitted or gastrointestinal infection.Case presentation: Herein, we report a 58 years old woman hospitalized following COVID-19 infection and was discharged after a week. She consequently presented to the clinic ten days after her discharge, complaining of walking difficulties and radiating pain in her right hip. After ultrasound and MRI, she was diagnosed with reactive arthritis inflammation in the hip’s neck. Other known microorganisms responsible for reactive arthritis were ruled out before attributing it to the earlier COVID-19 infection. She reached remission after being treated using a combination of indomethacin and depot methyl-prednisolone for 14 days. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first case of reactive arthritis caused by SARS-COV-2 in the hip. Further attention should be paid to symptoms occurring after an episode of infection with COVID-19 in order to expand our understanding of the disease and the symptoms with which it can manifest.

Introduction: Orbital subcutaneous emphysema after trauma has been carefully reported, but its development in the absence of trauma is rare. Case presentation: We report on a 70-year-old patient who developed unilateral orbital subcutaneous emphysema, mimicking lacrimal duct occlusion, after this man sneezed, and presented with right crepitant eyelid swelling and progressive ptosis. Orbital subcutaneous emphysema develops when air can get into the periorbital soft tissue, which presents as a result of facial bone trauma, iatrogenic procedures, and gas-forming infectious microorganisms, as seen in many published articles. It is very uncommon to see this kind of case report after sneezing; however, in our case, spontaneous orbital subcutaneous emphysema occurred after sneezing that resolved slowly after a few weeks without surgical intervention. Our patient denied any painful sensation over the right orbital area, including no visual problems with the right eye but right eyeball limited movements. It can be stressful to patients due to its symptoms but is not a true emergency. Conclusion: In this article, we should bring awareness to physicians of the possibility of a spontaneously orbital subcutaneous emphysema with complications after sneezing, yielding relevant information for patients to be informed about avoid excessive nose blowing or occluding the nose, creating controlled symptoms.

Case summary An 8-year-old neutered male indoor cat was presented for evaluation of a year-long history of swelling over the bridge of the nose that extended from the subcutaneous tissue of the right upper eyelid to the dorsum of the skull. Intermittent regression of the mass lesion was reported with antibiotic or corticosteroid therapy; however, progressive swelling, malaise and hiding behavior persisted. CT revealed an aggressive osteolytic mass lesion in the right and left nasal cavities and extending into the frontal sinuses. Rhinoscopy using a 2.8 mm rigid telescope revealed somewhat normal-appearing turbinates rostrally and ventrally on the left side, with turbinate destruction on the right. After obtaining a biopsy from the right side of the nasal cavity, thick material filling the entire nasal cavity was visible caudally and was extracted endoscopically from a rostral approach. Surgical biopsy of the dorsal nasal bridge resulted in protrusion of inspissated material from the incision site. Rhinoscopic exploration revealed that the material extended into both frontal sinuses. Following extensive debridement and medical therapy, marked resolution of facial asymmetry was achieved. Relevance and novel information Facial distortion is often considered suggestive of a neoplastic process; however, it can also be seen with fungal and mycobacterial infections, and, in this case, an inflammatory condition of unknown etiology. In this cat, aggressive intervention and debridement of necrotic debris resulted in substantial bony remodeling of the skull and return to normal activity levels.

Abstract Background The common complications of radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy usually include wound infection, hemorrhage or hematomas, lymphocele, uretheral injury, ileus and incisional hernias. However, internal hernia secondary to the orifice associated with the uncovered vessels after pelvic lymphadenectomy is very rare. Case presentation We report a case of internal hernia with intestinal perforation beneath the superior vesical artery that occurred one month after laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer. A partial ileum resection was performed and the right superior vesical artery was transected to prevent recurrence of the internal hernia. Conclusions Retroperitonealization after the pelvic lymphadenectomy should be considered in patients with tortuous, elongated arteries which could be causal lesions of an internal hernia.

Abstract Background Disseminated Nocardia infection is a disease that is easily overlooked in patients with lesions occupying the intracranial space complicated with coma. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Case presentation A 65-year-old man was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University in October 2018 with weakness in the right limbs for 3 days and altered consciousness for 1 day. Five months earlier, he had been diagnosed with membranous kidney disease and had received cyclophosphamide and prednisone. At admission, the white blood cell count was 1.37 × 1010/L (with 86.4% neutrophils), and C-reactive protein was 115.60 mg/L. Imaging examinations revealed a lesion occupying the intracranial space, lung infection, and multiple abscesses in the rhomboid muscle. The abscesses were drained. Pus culture confirmed Nocardia cyriacigeorgica infection. With antibiotics and vacuum-sealed drainage of the back wound, the patient improved and was discharged from the hospital. Conclusions This case report shows that infection should be considered during the differential diagnosis of lesions in the intracranial space, especially in patients receiving immunosuppressive treatment. In patients with disseminated N. cyriacigeorgica infection, combination antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage of localised abscesses can be effective.
