Unilateral Hypertrophy of the Tensor Fascia Lata.

A 57-year-old woman presented with right hip pain. The initial diagnosis was an inflammatory tendinopathy of the gluteus medius without signs of rupture, and the patient underwent an ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection. However, 1 month later, she presented with a painful swelling on the anterior-external aspect of the right hip/thigh, with a clinical suspicion of malignancy.

Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Angioplasty of Venous Stenoses in Native Dialysis Fistulas: Primary and Secondary Patencies at 6 and 12 Months.

Purpose: When dialysis access stenoses are dilated by noncoated balloons, respective primary and secondary patencies hardly reach 50 per cent and 85 per cent at one year. This study determines the primary and secondary patency rates at 6 and 12 months for venous stenoses treated by paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) angioplasty in native hemodialysis accesses.

Materials And Methods: From 2012 to 2014, 70 venous stenoses in 41 patients benefited from PCB angioplasties.

Intragastric Rupture of a Splenic Artery Aneurysm Associated with a Pancreatic Cancer.

Acute upper digestive tract hemorrhage most often arises from gastric and esophageal vessels located in the mucosa or the submucosa. Rupture in the upper gastrointestinal tract is a classical but uncommon complication of arterial (mainly the abdominal aorta) aneurysms. Splenic artery aneurysm usually ruptures in the peritoneum, unless it is associated with a disease eroding the gastrointestinal wall.
