Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis: a case report of a 33-year-old patient.

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is a type IV hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, presenting early in life. This disorder results from defective neural crest differentiation with loss of the first-order afferent system, which is responsible for sensations of pain and temperature; a neuronal loss in the sympathetic ganglia is also present. A case of a 33-year-old patient with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is presented.

Haemolymphangiomas of the lower extremities: two case reports and review of the literature.

Haemolymphangiomas are congenital malformations of the vascular system, benign in origin. They can be either defined at birth or in early childhood, but the recurrence rate is usually high and complete resection is difficult to be achieved. We report two cases of haemolymphangiomas present at the tibias.

Hemolymphangioma of the lower extremities in children: two case reports.

Background And Purpose: Hemo-lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors that arise from congenital malformation of the vascular system. They are usually diagnosed at birth or early in childhood. The management of hemo-lymphangiomas in children remains challenging because complete resection is often difficult to be achieved and recurrences are common.
