Surgical Repair of a Giant Inferior Vena Cava Aneurysm Associated with a Congenital Vascular Anomaly: A Case Report.

Inferior vena cava aneurysms (IVCAs) are rare yet potentially lethal, especially if they are symptomatic or complicated. Among the IVCAs reported in the literature, only a few are associated with congenital vascular anomalies, including congenital IVC obstruction, tetralogy of Fallot, left-sided IVC, duplicated IVC, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome, and Klipper-Trenaunay syndrome. We present the case of an 8-cm symptomatic saccular IVCA in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot, treated successfully with surgical repair.

Blue rubber blister nevus syndrome: A case report.

Background: Blue rubber blister nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a congenital, rare disease characterized by venous malformations of the skin and internal organs, affecting all systems throughout the body. The pathogenesis is unknown. There is no consensus on the treatment of BRBNS.

Successful Aflibercept Treatment for Choroidal Neovascularization in a Rare Case of Optic Disc Melanocytoma.

BACKGROUND Optic disc melanocytoma (magnocellular nevus of the optic disc) is a benign congenital pigmented tumor, usually unilateral, asymptomatic, and mostly discovered in routine examinations in adult patients; however, it is associated with choroidal neovascularization. It can be difficult to differentiate it from juxta-papillary choroidal melanoma. Aflibercept is a monoclonal antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor A (anti-VEGF-A).

Bean-Syndrome in Maxillofacial District.

Bean syndrome (BS) is a rare congenital angiomatosis affecting multiple organ systems. The exact etiology is still not well-known. About 200 cases with heterogeneous clinical presentations have been reported worldwide.

The Pseudoinflammatory Pattern Revisited.

Isolated melanoma metastasis in a patient with large congenital nevus without detectable primary melanoma: a case report and review of literature.

Giant congenital pigmented nevi constitute an extremely diverse group of skin lesions with varying morphologies. These nevi are often associated with many clinical implications, such as increased risk of melanoma and the presence of neurocutaneous melanosis, with melanoma being the primary concern. We present a rare case of a 62-year-old patient with a giant congenital birthmark who reported to the oncology department due to a tumor in the lower abdomen detected during an ultrasound examination.

Spinal Neurocutaneous Melanosis.

Neurocutaneous melanosis is characterized by melanin-producing cells within the skin, leptomeninges, or brain parenchyma. It is a severe manifestation of congenital melanocytic nevus syndrome and can develop malignant melanomas. The disorder is commonly present in pediatric patients within the first two years of life and has a poor prognosis.

Melanoma arising in a child with a medium-sized congenital melanocytic nevus.

Pediatric melanomas are rare and some of them may arise on giant congenital melanocytic nevi. The risk of developing melanoma on a medium-sized nevus is not clear but is thought to be very rare. Proliferative cellular nodules which mimic malignant melanoma may pose significant diagnostic challenges.

Unusual Appearance of Meyerson Phenomenon Arising From a Congenital Melanocytic Nevus: Case Report and Literature Review.

Although melanocytic nevi have a relatively uneventful course throughout their existence, some may develop an inflammatory reaction known as the Meyerson phenomenon. Initially, the Meyerson phenomenon has been exclusively described in melanocytic nevi. However, it has since been observed in both pigmented and non-pigmented lesions, thus expanding the description from Meyerson nevus to the phenomenon.
