Cranial fasciitis is a rare variant of pseudosarcomatous fibroblastic/myofibroblastic proliferation, seen almost exclusively in children. Most cases are idiopathic, though in some a history of trauma has been elucidated. Cases of suspected cranial fasciitis must be worked up radiologically to rule out intracranial extension. We present a case of cranial fasciitis in a ten-year old girl that sho...

A case of nodular fasciitis occurring at the bladder vertex in a 34-year-old male is reported. The tumor was about 1 cm in diameter. A urachal tumor was diagnosed, and excised en bloc from the umbilicus to the bladder vertex. This tumor was diagnosed as nodular fasciitis from the histopathological findings. No recurrence has been seen for 3 years. Nodular fasciitis occurs mainly in the limbs or...

Objectives: Necrotizing fasciitis is a diverse syndrome primarily involving the fascia but also occasionally the overlying skin and underlying muscles. Non-necrotising lower limb cellulitis has been reported to have a marked seasonal variation in our area. We are describing the seasonal variation of our necrotising fasciitis cases. Methods: The medical records of all the patients that were admi...

Diffuse eosinophilic fasciitis (Shulman disease) is a rare sclerodermiform syndrome that, in most cases, resolves spontaneously or after corticosteroid therapy. It has been associated with hematologic disorders, such as aplastic anemia. The clinical features and long-term outcomes of patients with eosinophilic fasciitis and associated aplastic anemia have been poorly described. We report the ca...

BACKGROUND Recently, necrotizing fasciitis has been reported in patients treated with bevacizumab, usually secondary to wound healing complications, gastrointestinal perforations, or fistula formation. The risk of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b infection is significantly increased in immunocompromised hosts. However, necrotizing fasciitis due to Haemophilus influenzae type b in a patien...

Cervical necrotizing fasciitis is a fulminant infection that spreads along the fascial planes, causing subcutaneous tissue death characterized by rapid progression and systemic toxicity. Dental infection is the most common nidus of cervical necrotizing fasciitis. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species are found to be the most commonly isolated organisms in many bacteriological analyses of cer...

OBJECTIVE Early operative debridement is a major determinant of outcome in necrotizing fasciitis. However, early recognition is difficult clinically. We aimed to develop a novel diagnostic scoring system for distinguishing necrotizing fasciitis from other soft tissue infections based on laboratory tests routinely performed for the evaluation of severe soft tissue infections: the Laboratory Risk...

nodular fasciitis of the breast is a rare benign pathology of soft tissue that is a consequence of fibroblastic hyperplasia within breast. it can mimic breast cancer clinically, radiologically, and histopathologically. a-43 year-old female with a painless mass within upper-lateral quadrant of her left breast complained of rapid and progressive growth during previous few days. no evidence of nip...

vulvar necrotizing fascitis is an uncommon infectious disorder. since the first reported cases almost 100 years, ago, necrotizing fasciitis continues to present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. what usually begins as a subtle infection can become life-threatening. we report two cases of vulvar necrotizing fasciitis, one after posterior colporrhaphy in a woman with four risk factors and t...
