Introduction: Desmoid tumor also known as aggressive fibromatosis are rare monoclonal fibroblast proliferation that are not regarded as malignant due to inability to metastasize but locally aggressive in their ability to locally invade the adjacent structures. Case Report: A 29-year-old woman presenting with left iliac fossa region swelling, initially small in size then progress on and reached up to present size around 6×5cm in size. Wide local excision of tumor and meshplasty was done. In histopathology and IHC it was diagnosed as desmoidfibromatosis. Conclusion: The clinical management of desmoid tumors is becomes complex due to high recurrence rates and requires a multidisciplinary approach because of the unpredictable disease course.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common form of aggressive skin cancer and is due to exposure of ultraviolet radiation (B), immunosuppression, inflammation (from trauma or burns), and chemicals. In contrast, SCC is uncommon in darker skin individuals, especially those living in Asia. Here, we report the case of a 67-year-old male who presented to us with a complaint of the non-healing lesion over the occipital region for 2 years. A computed tomography head was done and a possibility of distal metastasis was excluded. The patient underwent wide local excision with scalp rotational flap followed by radiotherapy. Although the incidence of SCC is lower in the Indian people, it is important to consider the diagnosis for a suspicious lesion. The correct management of SCC is wide local excision along with flap rotation.
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.
