BACKGROUND.: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare form of cutaneous lymphomas, accounting for less than 1% of cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings of SPTCL before and after treatment were rarely reported. CASE REPORT.: We report a case of SPTCL in which F-18 FDG ...

Splenosis is a common benign condition that occurs after splenic rupture via trauma or surgery. The mechanism behind splenic cell autotransplantation begins with the splenic rupture, either from trauma or surgical removal. Splenosis is usually found incidentally and, unless symptomatic, surgical therapy is not indicated. Subcutaneous splenosis is an extremely rare form of splenosis, mostly obse...

Lipogranulomatosis or Farber's disease in a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by swollen, tender joints, periarticular and subcutaneous nodules, horsncss and progressive aphonia. Hepatosplcnomcgaly and C.N.S. involvements arc also reported in certain patients. The disorder is caused by a deficiency of acid ceramidase which may be best diagnosed by missing ceramidasc activity at a...

The presence of subcutaneous nodular onchocercosis was investigated at slaughter of 151 red deer (Cervus elaphus) (107 juveniles and 44 adults) between October-December 2015. The prevalence of subcutaneous nodules was 56%. Nodules were located in the lumbar region of the back in 96% of the cases, and 38% of the infected red deer had additional parasitic nodules in other body locations, such as ...

Introduction: Metastatic cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules are rare and late manifestation of an underlying malignancy. They indicate a poor prognosis and require an early diagnosis to offer some chance of survival. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is accurate and useful modality in early diagnosis of these lesions. Aim of this study is to find out efficacy of FNAC as an alternative to b...

Hemangiomas are benign vascular malformations of childhood characterized histologically by endothelial proliferation and clinically by rapidly expanding erythematous nodules. The incidence in newborns is approximately 2% to 3%, making them the most common tumors of infancy. Hemangiomas are typically classified as superficial (cutaneous), deep (subcutaneous), or mixed (cutaneous and subcutaneous...

We report the case of an infant with diffuse subcutaneous fat necrosis following birth asphyxia who had hypercalcemia and the rare complication of venous calcification. The clinical and radiologic findings resolved over 5 months. The disease is characterized by the presence of painless subcutaneous nodules, mainly over bony prominences, possibly associated with hypercalcemia and calcification. ...

The coelomycete Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was isolated in pure culture from subcutaneous nodules of the left forearm and elbow of a farmer after traumatic injury. To our knowledge, we report the first case involving this fungus as an etiological agent of subcutaneous infection. The in vitro inhibitory activities of amphotericin B, itraconazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, flucytosine, and fl...

The authors describe a case report characterised by asymptomatic papules and non-tender subcutaneous nodules as the isolated manifestations of gout.

A case of a 62-year-old woman with recurrent subcutaneous nodules, fever and pancytopenia diagnosed as subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma is presented. Incision biopsy revealed lobular panniculitis with an inflammatory infiltrate of atypical T lymphocytes. She was treated with 7 courses of CHOP with transient remission, and she died after 17 months of disease from fatal hemorrhagic complications due ...
