Article Synopsis
- Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare but locally aggressive skin tumor in children, known for slow growth and low likelihood of spreading, yet it often goes misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific symptoms.
- Diagnosing DFSP can be difficult because it may present as nodular lesions or resemble other conditions like vascular malformations, highlighting the need for histologic and immunohistochemical examinations.
- Successful treatment involves complete surgical removal with wide margins, as seen in two pediatric cases where lesions initially mimicked vascular issues, resulting in no recurrences after follow-ups of 6 months and 2 years, with ongoing monitoring planned for at least 5 years.
Blunt trauma is a major cause of death in children, with renal arterial injuries occurring in less than 1% of cases. Traumatic renal artery occlusion (RAO) in children is rare and results in the loss of ipsilateral renal perfusion. Clinical signs are often nonspecific, and there is a lack of information on the exact incidence and management outcomes of these rare cases in children.

Background And Aim: The aim of this article was to study isolated axillary nerve injury, his etiologies, symptomatology and treatment via nerve transfer or neurotization.
Methods: We describe the procedure of long head triceps radial branch transfer to the axillary nerve motor branch in adolescent patient with right deltoid muscle palsy and shoulder anesthesia following a motorcycle crush six months ago.
Results: Total recovery of the shoulder sensibility, abduction and extension at one-year follow-up, and patient returned progressively to his normal live and sports activities without any functional effect on the donor muscle.
