Sub-trochanteric fracture of the femur following electric shock

Abstract

We report a case of a unilateral sub-trochanteric femoral fracture resulting from an accidental electric shock: an unusual injury. It is well documented that fractures occurring from electrical injuries commonly involve the upper extremities; those affecting the lower limb have rarely been documented. Such injuries need to be identified and treated without delay.

Simultaneous Renal Cell Carcinoma and Giant Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma Involving Small Intestine

“…The concomitant occurrence of a renal cell carcinoma and retroperitoneal sarcoma is extremely rare with only few cases being reported [3, 4]. …”

“…Surgical resection is the mainstay of therapy for both renal cell carcinoma and retroperitoneal sarcoma [1, 3, 4]. …”

Long term survival in a case of concurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma and renal cell carcinoma: a case report

“…We identified five reported cases of concurrent liposarcoma and RCC [2–6] (Table 1). Patients age ranged from 58 to 79 years (median 71 years), slightly older than the average age for all RCC patients.…”

“…Patients age ranged from 58 to 79 years (median 71 years), slightly older than the average age for all RCC patients. The RCC histological subtype was clear cell in 1 case [4], papillary cell in 3 cases [2, 3, 6] and granular cell in 1 case [5] (note: it has recently been shown that “granular cell” type RCC is not an independent histological type). The location of liposarcoma was perirenal [4, 5] in 2 cases, retroperitoneal [2, 6] in 2 cases, and cardiac [3] in 1 case (found by autopsy).…”

The location of liposarcoma was perirenal [4, 5] in 2 cases, retroperitoneal [2, 6] in 2 cases, and cardiac [3] in 1 case (found by autopsy). Although the number of reported cases is small, it is interesting to note that only one case represented the clear cell subtype whereas three cases were diagnosed as papillary cell RCC.…”
