Case report on the approach to surgical management for a large chest wall chondrosarcoma.

Introduction And Importance: Primary chest wall tumours are uncommon. Challenges arise in management due to delays in diagnosis and timing of treatment. The mainstay of treatment remains complete resection as adjuvant therapy has a limited role.

Case series: The modified skoog approach for definitive management of severe hidradenitis suppurativa of the axilla.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent, suppurative, cutaneous disease, manifested by abscesses, fistulating sinus tracts and scarring (Brown, Rosen, & Orengo, 1998). After failed conservative management, surgical excision is the only definitive option (Edlich et al 1986). There are several approaches to the excision and wound closure of axillary HS, mostly involving radical excision with associated risks of poor wound healing despite advanced wound closure techniques.
