Cutaneous horn is a horn-like hyperkeratotic lesion. Cutaneous horns are seen in sun-exposed areas. Its presence over penis is unusual and rare. Herein, we report a case of horn of penis in a 40 year old male. The association with malignancy on the penis makes proper identication of these lesions essential. Standard treatment involves local excision, but the presence of malignancy mandates a partial penectomy

AbstractRadical surgery is considered as the standard treatment for rectal cancer. Transanal local excision has been considered an interesting alternative for the management of selected patients with rectal cancers for many decades. Different approaches had been considered for local excision, from endoscopic submucosal dissection to resections using platforms, such as transanal endoscopic microsurgery or transanal minimally invasive surgery. Identifying the ideal candidate for this approach is crucial, as a local failure after local excision is associated with poor outcomes, even for an initial early rectal tumor. In this article, the diagnostic tools and criteria to select patients for local excision, the different modalities used, and the outcomes are discussed.

This study was done is Banghabandu sheik mujib medical university, Dhaka. Bangladesh from January 2000 to December 2003 to see the presentation different options of management - & out come of treatment. Total 11 Patients of Phylloides Tumour were included in the study. Most Patients (55%) were above the age of 51 Years & well circumscribed non-tender firm mobile breast lump was the commonst (55%) presentation 73% Patients were treated by wide local excision & 18% needed mastectomy. About 18% cases had recurrence after 15 months followup. Any large painless mobile breast tumour of rapid onset should ra se the suspicion of phyllodes tumour. Benign tumour can be tracked by wide local excisions simple mastectomy is the standard treatment for malignant lesion. (J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2007; 25 : 70-72)

Cutaneous horn is a conical, dense, and hyperkeratotic protrusion that often appears similar to the horn of an animal. Giant cutaneous horns are rare; no incidence or prevalence has been reported. The significance of cutaneous horns is that they occur in association with, or as a response to, a wide variety of underlying benign, premalignant, and malignant cutaneous diseases. Herein we report a unique case of a 60-year-old male with a giant cutaneous horn (size: 10 cm × 2 cm) projecting from the left angle of mouth, which is extremely rare. Wide local excision of the growth was done. Histopathologic examination showed verrucous carcinoma with negative margin. There is no recurrence after follow-up of 2 years.

SummaryA newborn calf was admitted for evaluation of a primarily closed comminuted metaphyseal fracture of metacarpus III/IV. Closed reduction and application of transfixation pins and a fibreglass cast were performed. Ten days after pin removal, radiographs revealed that the initially healed fracture had collapsed, and osteomyelitis was diagnosed. Bacteriological culture from the deep draining tract yielded Actinomyces pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. Standard treatment of delayed union or nonunion caused by septic osteomyelitis consists of surgical debridement, rigid fixation, and long-time administration of antibiotics. In this case, we used surgical debridement, administration of a new long-acting local antibiotic (gentamicin- impregnated collagen sponges), and minimal external stabilization. At day 27 after initiation of this treatment, the skin defect had healed, and the fracture was stable on manual palpation.Standard treatment of delayed union or nonunion caused by septic osteomyelitis consists of surgical debridement, rigid fixation and prolonged administration of antibiotics. In the case described, we used surgical debridement, administration of a long-acting local antibiotic (gentamicin-impregnated collagen sponges), and minimal external stabilization. The promising outcome of this case and the good results in human surgery warrant further investigation in the use of gentamicin-impregnated collagen sponges in veterinary orthopaedics.

Nicolau syndrome (NS) is a rare complication characterized by tissue necrosis that occurs after parenteral injection of drugs. The exact pathogenesis is uncertain, but there are several hypotheses, including direct damage to the end artery, acute vasospasm and cytotoxic effects of the drug. Severe pain in the immediate post injection period and purplish discoloration of the skin with reticulate pigmentary pattern is characteristic of this syndrome. Diagnosis is mainly clinical and there is no standard treatment for the disease. Herein, we present a rare case of NS due to Diclofenac Sodium (Voltaren®) injection in an 80-year-old female suffering from Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI) who was managed conservatively. Keywords: Nicolau Syndrome, Embolia cutis medicamentosa, Voltaren, Diclofenac sodium

Goal of research - the study aims to examine the osteopathic profi le of children with dysarthria and to develop recommendations for osteopathic correction of somatic dysfunctions in 2-3 year old children presenting this pathology.Materials and methods. 30 2-3 year old children with the symptoms of dysarthria took part in the research. All the children were divided into 2 groups: the control group of 15 children received standard treatment, and the experimental group of 15 children received both standard and osteopathic treatment. The dysarthria severity and the osteopathic profi le were evaluated with account of the number of somatic dysfunctions at global, regional, and local levels.Results. The osteopathic correction was shown to have a positive effect on dysarthria severity. The study established a correlation between the dysarthria severity in children and the number of somatic dysfunctions at the local level.Conclusion. The study suggests using osteopathic correction of somatic dysfunctions in the complex therapy of dysarthria in children.
