Arteriovenous grafts (AVG) are unfortunately vulnerable to infection given their nature of being a foreign body that is routinely accessed in a patient population that typically has multiple comorbidities. Management of AVG infections can become more complex when a patient has exhausted all options of hemodialysis access and gets an infection involving the AVG or a chronic wound in closed proximity. Herein, we present a case of an epidermoid cyst that caused breakdown of a thigh PTFE dialysis graft, which became infected and encapsulated the femoral anastomosis.

Giant pretibial cellular fibrous histiocytoma colliding with an epidermal cyst

Histiocytomas are common benign tumors of the skin. In contrast, giant histiocytomas are a rarity. We report a 43-year-old male patient, who presented with a 7 × 6 cm large firm tumor on his left lower leg. This was a long-standing lesion, but within the last three months, the tumor developed an exophytic nodule. A skin biopsy revealed an atypical spindle-cell tumor. We decided to perform a complete excision with a safety margin. Complete histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a collision tumor composed of a cellular fibrous histiocytoma and an epidermal cyst. The resulting defect was temporarily closed by vacuum-assisted closure before eventually a meshed split skin graft was transplanted. Proliferating fibrohistiocytic lesions should be surgically removed, and a careful histopathologic analysis is necessary to avoid delayed diagnosis of possible malignant lesions.

In this paper, we report two cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) who were treated with distinct surgical approaches. In the first case, a 50-year-old woman presented with a mass on her right shoulder and underwent local excision with subsequent reconstruction using a deltopectoral flap. The second case was of a young female who presented with a giant protuberant DFSP on the anterior abdominal wall who was treated with wide local excision along with inlay mesh repair of the defect. Early excision and adjuvant radiotherapy facilitates a low recurrence rate while also improving the prognosis of the patients.
