Case report: chronic expanding hematoma becomes angiosarcoma.

Chronic expanding hematoma is a hematoma that gradually increases in size over a period. Only a few studies reported a chronic expanding hematoma that turned into a malignancy, we report a rare presentation of a chronically expanding hematoma that after 10 years became an angiosarcoma.

Does Tranexamic Acid Administration Increase the Risk of Thromboembolism?

Introduction Hemorrhage following trauma is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication of an increased coagulable state, and the risk of VTE following the administration of tranexamic acid (TXA), an antifibrinolytic agent, is still controversial. Our aim is to understand whether there is any association between the administration of TXA and the risk of VTE development.
