Cystitis (EC) in diabetic patients is extremely rare. Emphysematous cystitis is a relatively rare disease entity characterized by intramural and/or intraluminal bladder gas best depicted by cross-sectional imaging. Its disease mechanism is not well understood. Case report: A 61-year-old diabetic woman presented to the emergency department with diffuse abdominal pain and hematuria of tree hours duration. Physical examination revealed generalized abdominal tenderness. Multi-slice abdominal and pelvic CT scans showed parietal pneumatosis of bladder and communicating continuity solutions with a pre-vesical collection (extravasation of PDC into the collection). After proper resuscitation, the patient was transferred to the operating room for exploratory laparotomy. A thickness bladder rupture was noted, which was repaired. Conclusions: SRUB in patients with poorly controlled diabetes and EC is highlighted in this case study. Urinary bladder rupture secondary to EC should be considered when a diabetic patient with a history of urinary symptoms presents with an acute onset of abdominal pain. Uneventful recovery from SRUB is dependent on early diagnosis and treatment.","PeriodicalId":21448,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports","volume":" 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141128791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report an unusual clinical case and describe the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges encountered. Case Presentation: A 62-year-old woman presented with swelling of the left inner eye angle, tearing, and ipsilateral nasal obstruction. Clinical examination and imaging initially suggested chronic dacryocystitis. A polypoid nasal sinus mass was detected on endoscopy and computed tomography. Complete excision was performed via endoscopic nasal sinus surgery. The histopathological analysis confirmed the definitive diagnosis of glomangiopericytoma. Discussion: Nasal sinus GPC is a rare tumor, typically benign, derived from perivascular cells. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific and can mimic more common pathologies. Diagnosis is based on imaging and histopathological analysis with immunohistochemistry. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision, preferably via minimally invasive endoscopic approach. Long-term close monitoring is recommended due to the risk of local recurrence. Conclusion: This clinical case highlights the importance of considering glomangiopericytoma in the differential diagnosis of nasal sinus masses, even in cases of initial benign presentation. A multidisciplinary approach, involving imaging, surgery, and histopathological analysis, is essential for optimal management.","PeriodicalId":21448,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140990196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its prognosis depends essentially on the quality of its management. Observation and Results: In this article, we report the case of a young patient treated at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Tangier, for a Darier and Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma that recurred five times after surgical excision, with a 5-cm margin on the surface and a healthy anatomical barrier at depth. Coverage of the loss of substance (LOS) was performed after anatomopathological confirmation of the carcinological nature of the excision, and essentially involved skin grafting. Despite a course of radiotherapy prescribed at the 4th recurrence, a 5th rapid recurrence was noted. Discussion: The great clinical, histological and evolutionary polymorphism of this type of sarcoma results in an underestimated incidence and explains the delay in diagnosis. Recurrences are frequent, and usually local. Initial wide surgical excision is the reference treatment, and directly conditions the prognosis of DFSP. According to several studies, recurrence may depend on the quality of surgical excision, but could also be attributed to genetic or environmental factors, or to variations in the histological subtype of the sarcoma. Conclusion: Darier Ferrand is an uncommon tumor with local malignancy, whose evolutionary risk depends mainly on the quality of the initial excision. The chances of cure in the case of well performed primary surgery are significantly higher than in the case of salvage surgery. Tumor excision must the refore be wide and deep, with sacrifice of a healthy barrier at depth.","PeriodicalId":21448,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140995107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
