Medical Referral

Foreign body ingestion is a regular medical referral. Patients present with different objects such as chicken bones, nails, coins, and fishbones. It is usually managed in causality and passes without any intervention. However, occasionally, we come across fishbone complications requiring intervention. We discuss the course and management of two case reports of fishbone injuries in different abdominal regions.

History Of

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare benign inflammatory breast disease that affects women of childbearing age with a history of breastfeeding. It usually presents as an enlarging breast mass that can greatly mimic breast cancer. Moreover, it does not have a specific radiographic finding, so the only way to reach a definitive diagnosis is by core biopsy and histology. Furthermore, a consensus regarding the best treatment modality has not been reached yet. In this report, we describe the cases of two patients who suffered from this disease, and to our knowledge, such a report is the first of its kind to address this topic in this region. Therefore, because of its uncommon nature and obscure presentation, we hereby report two cases of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. The clinical presentation, treatment, and pathological findings are described, and a literature review on idiopathic granulomatous mastitis will be reported.

Appropriate Treatment

Erysipelas, a variant of cellulitis, is a superficial dermal bacterial infection. This superficial cutaneous infection may cause lymphangitis with resultant lymphedema in poorly treated cases. Reports of erysipelas preceding lymphedema are rare, rather many have reported the occurrence of erysipelas in patients with subclinical or overt lymphedema. Two case reports of erysipelas preceding lymphedema after appropriate parenteral antibiotics therapy and limb elevation are here presented. Following diagnosis, admission, and commencement of therapy, the second patient (Case 2) discontinued hospital treatment halfway for native treatment and returned after about 3 weeks. All patients recovered successfully but later presented with lymphedema after 8 weeks and 6 weeks, respectively. Both patients made a sustained functional recovery of their limbs with conservative management including elastic compression stocking and limb elevation. Erysipelas infection preceding lymphedema may develop when it occurs, prompt and appropriate treatment modalities for erysipelas infection may forestall the development of lymphedema.

Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) was first described 50 years ago, but only around 100 case reports in English have been published. Its relation with other inflammatory skin disorders is still being debated. We report a case of REM, including the clinical and histopathological findings. Also, a systematic review of 94 English-language reported cases is provided. The described criteria for clinical and histopathological diagnosis are highlighted in order to REM can be confidently diagnosed.
