RESUMO
Nerve sheath tumors of gastrointestinal tract are rare and occurs more frequently as systemic manifestations of generalized neurofibromatosis type-1(NF-1).In neurofibromatosis-1 lesions may be scattered or solitary tumor. Occasionally ,such tumors may be the initial presenting feature of NF-1.Rarely ,cases of isolated nerve sheath tumor of small intestine presenting with bleeding and obstruction have been documented. We report a 19years male presenting with nerve sheath tumor of jejunum in acute abdomen. His investigations show no features of NF-1.
RESUMO
Four patients aged 8, 35, 45 and 50 years (3 males and 1 female) were admitted to SCBMCH, Cuttack, skin and VD Department with multiple, painful, non healing phagadenic ulcers over body and not responding to the conventional therapeutic agents. The female patient was having severe seropositive rheumatoid arthritis. Pus culture was negative in all the cases. All the patients responded well to corticosteroid given systemically, but one male patient was having recurring episodes and ulcers healing hardly. He was given topical oxoferrin (TCDO) topically twice daily along with other supportive therapy. He responded well.
RESUMO
Twenty adult patients (15 males and 5 females) with extensive, clinically diagnosed tinea versicolor (TV.) resistant to topical agents, of long duration were selected. Laboratory investigations like KOH smear, routine haemogram, LFT, and RFT were done. They were given itraconazole (100 mg) orally twice daily for 5-7 days and followed up at the end of 1 week and again three weeks later. After one week itching, erythema and scaling subsided in 80% of cases. There was no recurrence during one year follow up.
