Macrocephaly with multiple soft tissue and visceral hamartomas ("Bannayan-Zonana" syndrome). Case report.

Since its first description few cases of the rare association of macrocephaly with multiple soft tissue and visceral hamartomas (Bannayan-Zonana syndrome) have been reported. In this paper we report a case of a 7 year old child in whom lipomas of the abdomen and right flank have been treated with liposuction. We could find no previous evidence that this surgical technique has been used in the treatment of this syndrome.

[Post-traumatic penoscrotal avulsion: cosmetic and uro-andrologic evaluation after surgical reconstruction].

A case of surgical reconstruction after penoscrotal skin avulsion is described. Penile coverage was gained by two full thickness grafts helicoidally placed to avoid retractions. Scrotal reconstruction was carried out in two steps, after testis subcutaneous implantation, with axial flaps expanded in abdominal region. The procedure has the advantage of flaps sure vitality, avoids patient discomfort produced by a perineal expansion with satisfactory cosmetic appearance and restore of a normal sexual function.

Prevention of glucocorticoid-induced osteopenia: effect of oral 25-hydroxyvitamin D and calcium.

Twenty-four patients (9 M and 15 F, age range 51-82) with polymyalgia rheumatica receiving 6-methylprednisolone for a period of 9 months (16 mg/daily/two weeks, 14 mg/daily/two weeks, 12 mg/daily/1 month, 10 mg/daily/1 month, 8 mg/daily/1 month, 6 mg/daily/1 month and 4 mg/daily for the last four months) were randomly assigned to receive either 250HD3 (35 mcg/day for 25 days/month) (Group A) or placebo (Group B) in a double-blind study. All patients also received 500 mg elemental calcium daily. Before and at 3, 6 and 9 months ESR, tenderness on palpation and subjective pain were evaluated. At the same times, mineral metabolism parameters (serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, 24-h urinary calcium, phosphate and 24-h hydroxyproline excretion) and radial bone mineral content (BMC) were evaluated. Activity indexes (ESR and clinical parameters) improved in both groups. Furthermore, serum alkaline phosphatase and 24-h hydroxyproline excretion decreased significantly only in Group A, and BMC decreased significantly in Group B but rose slightly in Group A. No side effects were observed in any of the patients.
