Erythematous Plaques

Granuloma faciale (GF) is a rare, inflammatory, cutaneous disorder of unknown aetiology. It presents clinically as one or several well-circumscribed violaceous papules, plaques, and nodules almost exclusively confined to the facial region. Rarely, extrafacial lesions can occur, most often on sun-exposed sites. We report a case of extrafacial GF in a 63-year-old male with indolent lymphoma, who presented with plaques involving the right preauricular region and left posterior axilla. The clinical and histopathological findings were consistent with GF. Our case highlights the importance of performing skin biopsies in patients with persistent erythematous plaques and nodules, particularly to exclude important malignant and granulomatous differential diagnoses.

Background: Angioma serpiginosum is a vascular anomaly that classically presents in childhood and predominantly affects females. Objective: To present a case of a young woman with linear distribution of angioma serpiginosum and review the common clinical characteristics and presentation of this condition. Methods: Case report with skin biopsies and dermoscopic findings. Results: A clinical examination revealed numerous irregular punctate red macules in a linear distribution over the right arm. On dermoscopy, the lesions appeared as multiple sharply demarcated red lagoons. The histopathologic findings of dilated blood vessels in the papillary dermis with absence of other changes confirmed the diagnosis of angioma serpiginosum. Conclusion: Angioma serpiginosum is a rare entity that can be distinguished by clinical and histopathologic examinations. Lack of recognition of this condition may lead to unnecessary investigations and delayed treatment.

Nonbacterial osteitis is a rare autoinflammatory disease. Often it is mistaken for a tumor or osteomyelitis. We present a case of a twelve-year-old girl referred to our hospital because of a lesion of the right clavicle. The differential diagnoses were sarcoma, osteitis, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis. After biopsy the diagnosis nonbacterial osteitis (NBO) was established. Treatment of choice is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. This case report gives a complete follow-up of the disease, showing the pitfalls of the diagnosis.

Eventration is a separation of the musculoaponeurotic layers of the abdominal wall resulting in protrusion of abdominal contents, and characterized by the absence of the hernial sac and intact skin. We describe a case of chronic left sided eventration associated with deformity of the right femoral fossa in a 30-year-old female Argentine land tortoise. The animal was referred for evaluation of a soft and non-painful deformity of the left lumbar fossa and third degree lameness of the left posterior limb. Eventration of one bladder lobe and oviduct loops was diagnosed by ultrasonography. We describe the anesthetic protocol and the surgical technique used in the treatment with approach to the coelomic cavity through the prefemoral fossa, as well as the resolution of the abdominal wall defect.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

A case report on a 49-year-old female with diagnoses of ocular hypertension in her left eye (LE) treated with 250 mg/day acetazolamide for 2 years. During the slit-lamp examination, complete occlusion of both iridocorneal angles was detected. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 10 and 35 mmHg in the right eye and LE, respectively. Phacotrabeculectomy was performed in the LE. After 1 month of the procedure, the patient developed a slowly progressive miopization from −1 to −3 diopters (D) the following months. Approximately 3 months after surgery, the patient developed an episode of acute pain, athalamia, and IOP 45 mmHg in her LE. Late-onset malignant glaucoma was suspected and the patient was treated with topical hypotensive and cycloplegic agent until a prompt vitrectomy was performed. Deepening of the anterior chamber and restoration of IOP to normal range was obtained after surgery.
