Lipoma arborescens of the bicipital bursa

a b s t r a c t Lipoma arborescens is a rare benign entity characterized by proliferation of villous fat tissue in subsynovial layer that usually affects the knee joint. We report a case of lipoma arborescens in bicipitoradial bursa of the elbow in a 44 year-old female patient. In spite of this rare location, radiographic findings by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging made diagnosis possible.

Tendinitis calcificante bilateral del tendón largo del biceps asociado a lesión SLAP

Calcifying tendinitis is a common disorder related to deposition of hidroxyapatite crystals, which is most common around the shoulder joint, involving the supraespinosus tendon. It can however, affect almost any tendon at its insertion. Clinical features are variable and include pain and inflammation that often resolves spontaneously. We present a case of bilateral calcifying tendinitis of the long head of the biceps tendon at its insertion on the superior glenoid rim associated with superior labrum antero-posterior tears (SLAP) confirmed by arthroscopy. Calcium deposits were surgically removed and the SLAP lesions were repaired.

Gangrena perineal en mujer de 44 años: Hallazgos en Tomografía Axial Computarizada (TAC)

OBJETIVOS: Mostrar los hallazgos caracteristicos en TAC y su utilidad diagnostica en la gangrena de Fournier en mujeres. METODO/RESULTADO: Mujer con antecedentes de esfinterotomia lateral interna que acude a urgencias por intenso dolor en hipogastrio y en region perineal con endurecimiento del gluteo izquierdo. En la TAC se observa una coleccion abscesificada en el espacio rectovaginal y gas en musculos elevadores del ano, fosa isquiorrectal izquierda y en raiz del muslo izquierdo. CONCLUSIONES: La TAC se considera un excelente metodo diagnostico en el manejo de pacientes con gangrena de Fournier, mostrando no solo el origen de la infeccion sino la extension de la misma.
