Recurrence and Risk Factors of Giant Cell Tumors in Hand Bones: A Systematic Review.

Background: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive tumor that may affect the bones of the hand and rarely causes pulmonary metastasis. It exhibits a variable recurrence rate after surgical interventions, which presents challenges in its management. This systematic review aims to delineate recurrence rates and identify risk factors for GCTB in the hand.

Granular Cell Tumor Initially Masquerading as Cellulitis.

Granular cell tumor (GCT), a rare Schwann cell-derived lesion, typically manifests as a benign skin or soft tissue growth. We report a case of GCT mimicking cellulitis on a woman's foot at first presentation. Despite initial misdiagnosis, histological examination confirmed GCT, guiding successful excision and reconstruction.

Nipple Adenoma: Systematic Review of Literature.

Background: Nipple adenomas (NAs) are rare benign proliferative tumors presenting as palpable nodules, erosive lesions, or nipple discharge, mimicking other conditions. This systematic review categorizes cases into sole NA (ONA) or co-diagnoses with other conditions (CONA) to enhance clinical recognition, diagnosis, and treatment efficacy.

Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a PubMed search was conducted for NA.

Histologic Examination of Mastectomy Scars during Breast Reconstruction: A Systematic Review.

Background: Breast reconstruction is a standard procedure in postmastectomy plastic surgery. The necessity of routine histological examinations for mastectomy scars during delayed reconstruction remains a topic of debate. We evaluated the need for histological examination of scars during delayed breast reconstruction.

Combat-related Wartenberg Syndrome Due to Penetrating Shrapnel Injury: A Case Report.

Wartenberg syndrome, also known as Cheiralgia paresthetica, is an uncommon neuropathy affecting the superficial branch of the radial nerve. Typically caused by external compression, it manifests as paresthesia or pain in the radial side of the hand. We present a case of Wartenberg syndrome resulting from combat shrapnel injury, illustrating an uncommon etiology.

Pubertal gynecomastia incidence among 530,000 boys: a cross sectional population based study.

Background: Adolescent gynecomastia, a benign proliferation of male breast tissue, can lead to psychological issues during adolescence. The prevalence varies widely (4%-69%). The incidence peaks are during neonatal, pubertal, and senescent periods.

Gynecomastia: A systematic review of pharmacological treatments.

Background: Pubertal gynecomastia (PG), a benign condition with varied reported prevalence, typically appears at 13-14 years-old and is mostly idiopathic and self-limited. Psychologic impairments are common among adolescents with gynecomastia. Surgical intervention is reserved to severe cases and is offered towards the end of puberty.

Severe Postoperative Bleeding Following Minor-to-Moderate Abdominal and Flank Liposuction Performed at a Day Surgery Center: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Liposuction is a one of the most common aesthetic procedures. The super-wet and tumescent techniques are used most frequently. Both serve to reduce collateral blood loss, facilitate the suctioning procedure, and providing local anesthesia.

Desmoplastic Neurotropic Melanoma Presenting as Pilonidal Sinus: A Rare Clinical Association.

BACKGROUND Pilonidal Sinus (PNS) is a small cutaneous orifice in the intergluteal region; symptoms include pain and swelling. Disparately, desmoplastic neurotropic melanoma (DNM) accounts for 1% of all melanomas and mostly occurs in the head and neck region. Because its appearance is generally benign, it typically comes to surgical attention only at an advanced stage or after recurrence.
