Cystic nephroma, also called multilocular cystic nephroma, is a relatively rare, nongenetic, benign, unilateral, renal multicystic lesion. The non-specific clinical findings and the poor contribution of imaging examinations make the preoperative diagnostic dilemma from other cystic renal neoplasia; thus nephrectomy seems to be the most preferable treatment. We report a case of cystic nephroma in 11 months old male child presented with asymptomatic lump in abdomen. After a series of examinations including abdominal ultrasound, intravenous pylography and computed tomography, he underwent radical nephrectomy and diagnosis is confirmed on histopathology.
Hemangioblastomas are very highly vascular neoplasm with benign characteristics and; in comparison to cerebellar hemangioblastoma; cases of cystic hemangioblastoma of the brain stem are rare with only a few case reports available in the literature. We report the case of a 43-year-old-female with cystic hemagioblastoma of the brainstem managed successfully and review the relevant literature.
Background: Surgical literature is full of innumerable solutions to the problems of wound healing and it speaks of itself that the problem is not so simple and straight forward to tackle with. The aim of the present study was to compare three modalities moist saline dressing, collagen sheet dressing and epidermal growth factor in early epithelization and healing of chronic wounds. to study the effect of various dressing modalities on epithelization of chronic wound in terms of time required for healing and the quality of scar it forms, the functional results both early and late, post-healing morbidity and complications and the practicality and the cost involved in using these modalities.Methods: Prospective randomized controlled study. Study including chronic wound cases admit to AVBRH Sawangi over period of 3 years.Results: Reduction in size of wound by 70-100% was found highest in Epigrof group. In Epigrof treated group 88% of wounds healed within 3 weeks while 80% in collagen group and 56% in moist dressing group it. Collagen dressing is the most cost effective of the three whereas Epigrof was most costly due to the initial cost of purchase. The scar quality was satisfactory in 19 of Epigrof group and 17 of the collagen sheet group and 15 of the moist dressing group.Conclusions: Epidermal growth factor is superior in epithelization, collagen is the next best local applicant, but collagen sheet is more cost effective than Epigrof and non-adherent dressings.
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.
