Seltenes intramuskuläres Hämangiom des M. sternocleidomastoideus

Abstract

Intramuscular tumours of the head and neck often represent a differential diagnostic challenge. We report the rare case of an intramuscular haemangioma arising from the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the 6th decade. Pre-operative diagnosis was difficult, as these tumours are extremely uncommon in the head and neck region, with only very few cases reported in the literature. Due to the marked tendency of intramuscular hemangiomas to recur, accurate preoperative diagnosis forms the basis of adequate surgical therapy with sufficient safety margins.

Bioactive reagents used in mesotherapy for skin rejuvenation in vivo induce diverse physiological processes in human skin fibroblasts in vitro– a pilot study

“…Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive technique consisting of multiple epi‐ or intradermal injections of nutrients, hormones, vitamins, enzymes and other reagents. The aim of mesotherapy in skin rejuvenation is maintenance or restoration of healthy and youthful texture of skin (1–9). However, optimal protocols to achieve this goal, that is the quality of medication formulas and the mode of their application as well as the proof of concept, including long‐term efficiency, are still lacking (10–12).…”
