Gangrenous cystitis is a rare condition of the urinary bladder with bladder wall ischemia as the main etiopathogenic factor and constitutes a surgical emergency. The risk factors for this condition include diabetes mellitus, prolonged labor, and topical chemotherapy, and the condition must be immediately treated because of its high mortality rate. This report describes a rare case of a patient with gangrenous cystitis who underwent radical surgical treatment; the incidence, etiology, diagnosis, management, and outcomes are also discussed.
Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn (NSJ) is an inborn, cutaneous hamartoma that is presented as a round-oval, or linear, yellowish-orange hairless plaque with an excess of sebaceous glands, typically localized to the head or neck. NSJ disease progresses slowly in three general stages. Due to its embryological origin, it yields an already documented potential for a variety of epidermal and adnexal tumors. The incidence of secondary neoplasms within NSJ is 10-30%, and the risk of neoplastic transformation increases with age. The majority of neoplasms are benign. Regarding malignant tumors, NSJ is usually associated with basal cell carcinoma. All neoplasms are typically encountered in long-standing lesions. Owing to NSJ’s ample variety of associations with neoplasms, its management demands a case-driven tailored treatment. We present the case of a 34-year-old female with NSJ.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
