A Sublatissimus Dorsi Abscess Due to Caused by a Cat Scratch.

We encountered a 51-year-old male patient who was not immunocompromised. Thirteen days before his admission, his right forearm was scratched by his pet cat. Swelling, redness, and purulent discharge appeared at the site, but he did not seek medical attention.

A Case of Dissecting Cellulitis which Was Initially Suspected to Be a Trichilemmal Cyst.

We treat infected cysts on a daily basis, but it is difficult to diagnose similar lesions produced by inflammatory conditions that are not primarily caused by bacteria. Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that results in disfiguring, painful, and purulent lesions. It often takes a long time to diagnose.

A case of cryptococcal necrotizing fasciitis and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in a renal transplantation recipient.

Introduction And Importance: Immunocompromised patients are at high risk of unexpectedly serious infections caused by uncommon bacteria or fungi. We experienced a case of Cryptococcus neoformans-induced necrotizing fasciitis (NF) of the lower extremities. The progress so far has been reported by the urology department [1].

Successful salvage of an infected breast prothesis by changing from continuous to intermittent suction under continuous irrigation.

Introduction: Implant-based breast reconstruction is a widely performed procedure. However, prostheses are susceptible to infection and there are currently no established guidelines on treatment. In the present case, a prosthesis was salvaged by changing from continuous irrigation and suction to continuous irrigation and intermittent suction.

Squamous cell carcinoma developed in a chronic radiation-induced chest wall ulcer that is difficult to undergo thorough preoperative histological examination.

Introduction: We report a case in which squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) developed in a large chronic radiation-induced thoracic ulcer after flap surgery in areas where preoperative histological examinations are difficult.

Presentation Of Case: The patient was a 75-year-old female. She had undergone resection and radiotherapy for left breast cancer 15 years earlier.

Acquired agminated melanocytic nevus in the acral area is a potential mimicker of acral lentiginous melanoma: A three-case series report and published work review.

Agminated nevus refers to a clustered group of melanocytic nevi confined to a localized area of the body. It rarely involves acral skin, but recognition of acquired agminated nevus (AAN) in the acral area is clinically important because it may mimic acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM). However, acral AAN has only been described in a few case reports and its clinical characteristics remain unclear.

Free flap reconstruction of Achilles tendon and overlying skin defect using ALT and TFL fabricated chimeric flap.

A 33-year-old man developed a left Achilles tendon rupture and skin necrosis. We reconstructed the defect using an anterolateral thigh flap and a tensor fasciae lata muscle flap in a chimeric fashion. he was able to stand on a toe of the operated foot without help 6 months postoperatively.
