Introduction: Buschke-Löwenstein tumor (BLT), as a rare form of condylomata acuminatum, was firstly described by Buschke in 1886 as a "carcinoma-like condyloma acuminatum of the penis". BLT is generally considered to be a low-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma of the anogenital region.
Case Outline: We describe a case of BLT in a 56-year-old male patient who was referred to our institute due to a large defect in the gluteal region.
Background/aim: Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) characterised by speed and precision is increasingly accessible in emergency wards. The aim of our study was to determine the most common injuries to the chest region, as well as type associated extrathoracic injuries, and the treatment outcome.
Methods: This prospective study included 61 patients with blunt trauma who were submitted to computed tomography (CT) of the thorax.
Introduction: Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is a transversal myelitis that extends through three or more vertebral segments in length.
Case Report: A 52-year-old woman was hospitalized due to pain in the lumbar region, difficulty in walking, hypoesthesia of the anogenital area and urinary retention. In the past medical history, two years earlier, the patient had been diagnosed with transversal myelitis confirmed by MRI of the cervical spine and six months earlier, the patient was diagnosed with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS).
Background/aim: Computerized tomography (CT), especially multidetector CT (MDCT), has had a revolutionary impact in diagnostic in traumatized patients. The aim of the study was to identify and compare the frequency of injuries to bone structures of the thorax displayed with 5-mm-thick axial CT slices and thin-slice (MDCT) examination with the use of 3D reconstructions, primarily multiplanar reformations (MPR).
Methods: This prospective study included 61 patients with blunt trauma submitted to CT scan of the thorax as initial assessment.
Introduction: Dental professionals may be at increased risk of developing occupational allergic diseases specially to methacrylates that can permeate protective disposable gloves.
Case Report: We presented a case of occupational allergic contact dermatitis in a 28-year-old dental technician. The patient had complained of itching and cracking of fingers for 6 months.
