OBJECTIVE This article focuses on four high-risk lesions: lobular neoplasia, benign papilloma, radial scar, and flat epithelial atypia. Controversies exist in the management after core biopsy of each of these lesions--whether to perform immediate surgical excision so as not to miss an associated malignancy or imaging follow-up because concomitant malignancy is low. This review is staged in two ...

Purpose: Perineal endometriosis is a rare disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial stroma and glands in the perineum. Most commonly observed in the episiotomy scar after normal vaginal deliveries, perineal endometriosis is not often considered in the differential diagnosis of perineal masses. This could lead to unnecessary investigations and inadequate patient treatments. ca...

results there was a real faster response in the first group; while groups 3 and 4 had the slowest responses to treatment. rates of responsiveness seemed to have no significant difference between the groups, but side effects were significantly much frequent in the first group. conclusions intralesional triamcinolone acetonide with cryotherapy showed the most efficacies with more adverse effects,...

Verruca vulgaris is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. Verruca in the external auditory canal (EAC) has rarely been reported. A previous case report introduced surgical excision as a treatment for verruca in the EAC. We present a case of verruca vulgaris in both EACs that was successfully treated with an intralesional bleomycin injection. A 32-year-old male patient presented with ...

INTRODUCTION Usual causes of a papule or nodule in a post-operative site after resection of a skin tumor are residual or recurrent tumor, proliferative scar, or suture granuloma with inflammation and granulation tissue. Inverted or trapped hair, an acquired trichostasis, has not been implicated as a cause in such cases, this is probably the first case reported in literature. CASE PRESENTATION...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of the combined alar base excision technique in narrowing the nasal base and correcting excessive alar flare. METHODS The study included 60 cases presenting with a wide nasal base and excessive alar flaring. The surgical procedure combined an external alar wedge resection with an internal vestibular floor excision. All cases were followed up for a mean of 32 (ra...

BACKGROUND Defects caused by excision of benign lid margin tumors are conventionally repaired by reconstructive surgery. However, second intention healing is another option for managing wounds on the lid margin. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of second intention healing after a shave excision of benign tumors on the lid margin. METHODS Lid defects following a shave excision of the ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Drugs like famotidine, omeprazole and sucralfate which have been reported to promote the healing of gastric ulcers, may have the same effect on cutaneous wounds. Due to paucity of information in this regard, the present study was planned to investigate the effect of these drugs on resutured incision, excision and dead space wounds in Wistar rats. METHODS Resutured incis...

Verrucous hyperplasia (VH) is a rare and potentially malignant exophytic oral mucosal lesion with verrucous or papillary surface. VH has tendency to transform into its counterpart, carcinoma, which clinically indistinguishable, yet histologically variable. The most common site of predilection the buccal mucosa more prevalent in patients habits areca nut chewing smoking. A biopsy surrounding nor...
