“…There are reports that associate cutaneous leiomyomatosis to tumors located in other organs, specifically in the uterus and kidneys [5][6][7]. Pleomorphic adenomas (PA) of the parotid are the most frequently found benign tumors of the major salivary glands [8] and their simultaneous appearance with CL has been reported. First described by Virchow in 1854 [9].…”

Among many skin coloured solitary or multiple nodules of the skin with minimal or no symptoms, cutaneous leiomyomas are unique in its clinical presentation, histopathological features and clinically confusing the dermatologists. Though very rare, few cases of segmental cutaneous leiomyomas have been reported in the medical literature. Cutaneous leiomyomas are rare benign tumors of the skin. Leiomyomas in other regions of the body are on records. Various modalities have been used to relieve pain in such lesions. This presentation highlights the importance of biopsy in all nodular skin lesions of the skin to identify and confirm the disease, plan for the correct treatment, answer questions from the affected patients and to teach dermatology post graduates. Histopathological features of other nodular skin lesions are compared. Streszczenie Wśród wielu kolorowych pojedynczych lub mnogich guzków skóry z minimalnymi lub bez objawów, skórne mięśniaki są jedyne w swoim obrazie klinicznym, gdzie cechy histopatologiczne i kliniczne są mylne dla dermatologów. Choć występują bardzo rzadko, kilka przypadków segmentowych mięśniaków skóry opisywano w literaturze medycznej. Skórne mięśniaki są rzadkimi, łagodnymi nowotworami skóry. Mięśniaki w innych rejonach ciała są również dokumentowane. Różne sposoby wykorzystywane były w celu łagodzenia bólu w takich zmianach. Prezentacja ta podkreśla znaczenie biopsji we wszystkich guzowatych zmianach na skórze w celu identyfikacji i potwierdzenia choroby, plan działania naprawczego, pytania i odpowiedzi od chorych pacjentów i nauka absolwentów dermatologii. Porównywane są histopatologiczne cechy innych guzowatych zmian skórnych.

Two cases of Clostridium perfringens infection occurring less than 24 hours after compound depressed skull fracture are reported. The infection was principally intracranial in the first and extracranial in the second; both required surgical debridement and antibiotic treatment. Attention is drawn to the rapidity with which a potentially life-threatening infection can develop in civilian head injury and to the implications for acute management of patients with compound depressed fractures.
