Exuberant granulation tissue mimicking vascular tumours associated with burns.

A case of simultaneous development of multiple vascular neoplasms in a patient with a previous history of burns and lymphoblastic lymphoma is reported. Microscopic examination revealed angiomatosis made up of diffuse capillary proliferation. We speculate that endogenous factors could have played an important role in the development of these neoplasms. We discuss the clinical and histological differential diagnosis of the case presented: a disseminated variant of lobular capillary haemangioma, Kaposi's sarcoma, bacillary angiomatosis and hyperplastic granulation tissue.

[Basic ideas on the diagnosis and treatment of burns of the male genitalia].

OBJECTIVES: The main characteristics of burn injuries of the male genitalia and the basic principles of treatment are described. METHODS/RESULTS: Of 77 patients in the Burns Unit of this hospital, 7 (9%) had lesions to the external genitalia. Four of these patients had superficial dermal (grade IIA), 2 had deep dermal (grade IIB) and one had total dermal or subdermal burn injuries (grade III-IV) to the genitalia. The superficial lesions were treated medically and deep burns required surgery. RESULTS: At one-year follow-up, no functional sequelae were observed except in the patient with total dermal burn injuries, who developed right testicular atrophy and azoospermia, but preserved erection and ejaculation. CONCLUSIONS: Burn injuries to the external genitalia are uncommon. These lesions do not often require surgical treatment, and usually heal spontaneously. Despite their dramatic appearance, cure with no cosmetic or functional sequelae is often the rule.

Flexor digitorum profundus common to thumb and index finger, associated with a post-traumatic distal adherence of both tendons.

The existence of connections, in the form of tendon slips, between the tendons of the flexor pollicis longus and the flexor digitorum profundus indicis has been described by different authors as being a relatively frequent anomaly. Complete fusion between the two muscles, however, must be considered a very rare anomaly. A bilateral case is described, in which the right hand also had post-traumatic adhesions between the two tendons.

[On-top plasty. Indications and technic in the reconstruction of severely injured hands].

UNLABELLED: The possibilities and advantages of the on-top plasty in the reconstruction of severely damaged hands are described. Based upon ten cases, a classification into four groups is made. In each of these groups different reconstructive procedures are applicable. Group 1: Intact thumb with loss of all fingers. PROCEDURE: Lengthening of the third metacarpal by on-top-plasty of the distal half of the second metacarpal. This simultaneously widens the first intermetacarpal space. Group 2: Partial amputation of the thumb with severe damage to several fingers. PROCEDURE: Thumb reconstruction by transposition of two phalanges of an otherwise useless finger. Group 3: Loss of the thumb and of two and a half fingers. PROCEDURE: Thumb reconstruction by transposition of the remaining basal phalanx. Group 4: Loss of the thumb and of three fingers. PROCEDURE: Thumb reconstruction by on top-plasty of the distal half of the metacarpals and rotational angulatory osteotomy of the fifth metacarpal.
