Lipoma, a benign neoplasm of adipocytes, is the most common mesenchymal soft tissue tumor of adulthood, but rarely present with huge sizes in their cutaneous localization. Liposarcomas are the second most common soft tissue sarcoma following malignant brous histiocytoma. They comprise approximately 16-18% of all malignant soft tissue tumours. It is most common in the trunk followed by lower extremity, upper extremity and head and neck.. While lipomas can be clinically diagnosed , transformation of lipomas into liposarcoma is rare. Here we report the case of a 55 gentleman, who came with a history of swelling over the right shoulder with a probable malignant transformation due to history of long duration of presence of swelling. Management is usually by wide excision. Local radiation and chemotherapy may be necessary for high grade lesions.
Lymphocytic lobulitis , is a fibroinflammatory benign condition of the breast which is associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus. This benign condition is uncommon and may be mistaken for inflammatory carcinoma of the breast. We report the case of a 61 year old female patient who presented with a lump in the right breast with a history of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The lump was associated with discharge and recent onset pain. On examination a vague lump which was non mobile, involving the right breast was palpable. A single firm mobile right axillary lymph node was palpable. Peau d’orange or orange peel appearance which occurs due to blockage of sub dermal lymphatics by tumour infiltrates, was noted over the skin. Clinically the features were suggestive of inflammatory carcinoma. Mammogram suggested an inflammatory carcinoma. Ultrasound of the breast was suggestive of right duct ectasia and diffusely thickened breast with a Breast Imaging Radiology and Data System (BIRADS) score of 3. An incision biopsy was performed with histopathology confirming the lesion as lymphocytic lobulitis with fibrocystic breast disease. The patient was symptomatically managed with analgesics and reassured. She was observed on regular follow up and is currently healthy. Lymphocytic lobulitis is a rare benign lesion which mimics carcinoma. Clinically it presents with ill defined single or multiple breast lumps in young or middle aged women with thickening and hardening of skin. Magnetic Resonance Imaging better differentiates this otherwise indolent lesion from malignancies. A histopathological examination is usually confirmatory and required to alleviate concerns of patients regarding presence of a malignancy which has a much fearsome physical and psychological implication.

Diabetes is the leading cause of non traumatic lower extremity amputations resulting from atherosclerosis of the arteries. According to the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF), a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a fullthickness wound penetrating through the dermis (the deep vascular and collagenous inner layer of the skin) located below the ankle in a diabetic patient. The sural fasciocutaneous ap is useful for the treatment of severe and complex injuries in diabetic lower limbs. It is simple to dissect , does not compromise a major artery and has low donor morbidity. We present the case of a 38 year old gentleman who presented to us with Right foot diabetic ulcer progressing over a duration of 2 months . After initial debridement of wound patient underwent a trans metatarsal (foot) amputation followed by vacuum dressing and a delayed primary closure of wound using a medial sural artery ap.
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.
