Abstract We report a case of aseptic abscess in the cavernous body at the base of the penis. In our clinical observation, the patient underwent puncture and drainage of the corpus cavernosum abscess, followed by surgical resection of the abscess wall, with the incisions closed layer by layer with primary suture. In addition, we paid attention to strengthening the postoperative management by using elastic bandages to wrap the penis intermittently to prevent edema; the incision would not be covered with dressings from the third day after the operation, so as to keep the incision site dry in an open way. During the period of indwelling of the catheter after the operation, we noticed the care of the external orifice of the urethra to reduce the occurrence of catheter-related infections. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with a penile aseptic abscess in the cavernous body at the base of the penis. The patient recovered well after surgery and was discharged 1 week later. At 1.5 years after the operation, the shape of the penis returned to normal, and the erectile function was normal. It was seen that good nursing concept is of great help for prognosis, which could avoid infection and edema, and is conducive to wound healing.

A 43-year-old woman with Crohn’s disease was admitted to the hospital with weight loss and 1 week of fever, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. At presentation, the patient was not on steroids or other immunosuppressive agents. Cross-sectional imaging of the abdomen revealed active colitis and multiple splenic and hepatic abscesses. All culture data were negative, including aspiration of purulent material from the spleen. Despite weeks of intravenous antibiotics, daily fever and abdominal pain persisted, the intra-abdominal abscesses grew, and she developed pleuritic chest pain and consolidations of the right lung. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with aseptic abscess syndrome, a rare sequelae of inflammatory bowel disease. All antimicrobials were discontinued and she was treated with high-dose intravenous steroids, resulting in rapid clinical improvement. She was transitioned to infliximab and azathioprine as an outpatient and repeat imaging demonstrated complete resolution of the deep abscesses that had involved her spleen, liver and lungs.

A 48-yr old female patient, with stage 4 rheumatoid arthritis, who had undergone multiple joint prostheses including four arthroplasties of the left hip, presented for a sudden-onset large bulge on the left thigh, after a minor local injury. Orthopedic examination and radiography excluded fractures. Ultrasonography revealed a large mixed hypo- and hyperechoic collection,with no Doppler signal, but with comet tail artifacts. Repeated cultures from the collection were negative. Fluid analysis revealed increased quantities of titanium and cobalt. The sudden-onset deformity and fluid collection were in favor of a shear lesion (Morel-Lavallée). The new collection communicated with a previously asymptomatic periprosthetic aseptic abscess, mimicking an infection. To our knowledge, Morel-Lavallée shear lesions have not been described in patients with hip prostheses. Their presence may add to the difficulties of ruling out silent infections in such patients. Ultrasonography is a very effective method for the diagnosis and follow-up of collections in this setting.
