Impact of the time interval between lymph node recurrence and lymphadenectomy on melanoma patient survival.

Lymphadenectomy is currently the standard treatment for melanoma patients with palpable lymph node (LN) metastasis. There is no recommendation as to the time when surgery should be performed in France. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the impact of the time interval preceding lymphadenectomy on patient outcomes.

Life-threatening hemorrhaging in neonatal ulcerated congenital hemangioma: two case reports.

Importance: Congenital hemangiomas (CHs) are rare benign vascular tumors that differ from common infantile hemangiomas in that they grow in utero and are fully developed at birth. While ulceration is a common, predominantly benign complication in infantile hemangioma, little is known about the prognosis of ulcerated CH. However, it has been observed that ulcerated CH may be complicated by life-threatening bleeding episodes.

An unexpected etiology of priapism: infection-related anti-protein s antibodies.

Introduction: In adolescents, the occurrence of priapism is commonly related to sickle cell disease and rarely to other causes. We hereby report a case of priapism due to an acquired protein S (PS) deficiency.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe a young man who developed a priapism with a thrombosis of the corpora cavernosa associated with an anti-PS antibody (anti-PS Ab).
