AbstractBackground:Pregnancy-associated pyogenic granuloma (pregnancy tumour) is not uncommon. However, control of severe bleeding associated with the lesion by transarterial embolisation has never been reported.Case report:We report the case of a 33-year-old pregnant woman (34 weeks gestation) who presented with a pregnancy-associated pyogenic granuloma of the mandibular gingiva with a life-threatening haemorrhage. The bleeding stopped soon after transarterial micro-embolisation and regressed after one month; thus, no further surgical excision was needed. The patient was free of post-operative wound pain and infection, and there was no recurrence after one year of follow up.Conclusion:In general, surgical excision is the first treatment choice for pregnancy tumours. However, it is limited by the risk of marked deformity or incomplete excision when large lesions or difficult surgical areas are encountered. For large tumours, transarterial embolisation may be a safer alternative.

Infantile Digital Fibromatosis (IDF) is a rare benign lesion that can affect the fingers, often appearing at birth or early on in life. Treatment is controversial due to a high recurrence rate following surgical excision, and the tendency of the lesions to regress or resolve completely after the age of one year. Functional loss has rarely been described. We describe a case of IDF with joint contracture and significant functional deficit that was treated with cryotherapy and post procedural occupational therapy with an excellent result. Indications for treatment and cryotherapy as a therapeutic modality for IDF are discussed.

Background : Arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) defined as high-flow vascular malformations of dysmorphic arterial and venous vessels. And connected directly to one another without an intervening capillary bed. The incidence is higher in females than male (3-5:1). Globally, there are only 5 cases of genital hemangiomas reported. Various treatment has been investigated, a recent topical treatment is the application of timolol. It has minimal adverse effects, easy administration, and good cosmetic outcomes. However, the effectiveness of timolol in vulvar cases remains unclear. Case Report : A one-year-old girl was brought by her mother with complaint of a lump in her child's genitals. The lump was appeared during the early days of her life and it was getting bigger gradually. A plastic surgeon performed excision and reconstruction procedure using the island abdominal flap technique. Discussion : Preserving vaginal function and perineal integrity is quite challenging, and cosmesis correspondingly less important. The patient underwent surgical excision and primary closure procedure in the labia majora region, followed with abdominal flap tunneled through the mons pubis. Conclusion: Surgical excision and primary closure are the most recommended procedure for overcoming genital lesion. A reconstruction using flap following the procedure resulted in a normal contour and well functioned genital.

Nasal Chondromesenchymal Hamartoma

Objectives: To report the case of a congenital nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma in a one-year-old female and review the literature, identifying problems encountered in confirming the diagnosis and in treatment of this patient. Methods: Design: Case Report  Setting: Tertiary Public General Hospital Patient: One Results: A one-year-old female with an intranasal mass noted at birth and with subsequent unilateral maxillary enlargement is described. Computed tomography showed calcifications and erosion of adjacent bony structures. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry of an intranasal biopsy were interpreted as chordoma, a malignant tumor. Following surgical excision, the final histopathologic diagnosis was chondroid hamartoma. Conclusion: Only 20 cases of nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma have been reported in the literature worldwide. These tumors may present clinically, histopathologicaly and radiologically as malignant tumors and may mislead even the experts. The whole clinical picture should be taken together to avoid misdiagnosis as a malignancy and to facilitate appropriate management.  Keywords: nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma, nasal masses in infancy, nasal chondroid lesions

Dominant Disease

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant disease having an incidence of 1 in 3000 individuals. It primarily involves the peripheral nervous system and usually presents with many neurofibromas. On rare occasions, NF1 can affect the breast and manifests as nipple-areolar complex extranipple (pseudopolythelia) like neurofibromas which can be disfiguring and sometimes cause pain and therefore need to be addressed surgically. We present a case of a 31-year-old female, who had multiple pedunculated neurofibromas around the nipple on both breasts for 3 years. These lesions were associated with mild pain and were increasing in size. Surgical excision was done while preserving the nipples bilaterally. NF1 primarily involves the peripheral nervous system and usually presents with a large number of neurofibromas. Several case series of patients with NF1 have been reported, but there are only a few published reports on neurofibromas of the nipple-areolar complexes. These lesions can be painful and cause cosmetic deformity. In our case, these lesions were approached by circumferentially excising the redundant nipple-areolar skin containing the neurofibromas, while isolating the nipple on a central ductal and vascular pedicle. In conclusion, the redundant nipple-areolar skin containing the neurofibromas can simply be approached by circumferential excision while preserving the nipple. This technique is simple, easy to perform, while it allows duct preservation and preserves cosmesis.

Dorsal Ganglion

Ganglion cysts of the dorsal wrist are generally attached to the scapholunate interosseous ligament, and surgical removal could injure this ligament. Such injury could rarely result in postoperative scapholunate instability. To date, a few cases of scapholunate instability following the excision of the dorsal ganglion cyst of the wrist have been reported. In this report, we present a 23-year-old man with scapholunate instability following the surgical resection of the dorsal ganglion cyst of his wrist. The instability was treated with open reduction and reconstruction. One year follow-up of the patient was event-free. The patient had no pain and limitation and resumed his preoperative activities. According to this case, the iatrogenic or pre-existing nature of scapholunate instability following the surgical excision of the dorsal ganglion cyst of the wrist‎‏ cannot be determined. However, the patients should be informed of this complication before undergoing surgery.

A Freiberg, MM Carr. Reduction mammaplasty: Position of the nipple-areolar complex after long-term follow-up. Can J Plast Surg 1994;2(3):117-120. Permanence of the location of the nipple-areolar complex after reduction mammaplasty was examined in 59 women undergoing a modified Robbins technique. Average age was 35.9 years and follow-up ranged from 8.5 months to 14.5 years. Measurements were taken bilaterally by the same observer at each follow-up visit without regard for previous measurements. These included the sternal notch to nipple distance (snn), areola to inframammary crease distance (aim), and the vertical limb of the scar length (vl). The first visit between one month and one year postoperatively was taken as the baseline to which later measurements were compared. with time, there was a trend to lengthening of the snn and shortening of the vl, but all changes were less than 1 cm and none was statistically significant (P>0.05). Groups were divided on the basis of patient age, amount of tissue excised, preoperative breast type, and pregnancies since operation, and the same measurements compared. There were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05). These results support the authors’ contention that nipple location remains stable following reduction mammaplasty.
