Localized Cutaneous Hyalohyphomycosis by Fusarium spp. Over a Postsurgical Scar: Response to Fluconazole.

Hyalohyphomycosis are opportunistic fungal infections caused by fungi with colorless septate hyphae. Fusarium is a hyalohyphomycetes which can cause localized or disseminated infections depending on host immunity. Our patient had an infectious lesion over the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) scar which was not responding to antibacterial treatment. Further investigations revealed it to be localized cutaneous Fusarium infection. The patient was treated with fluconazole 3 mg/kg/day for 3 weeks and responded very well without any recurrence during the next 3 months follow-up. Thus, this case highlights the effectiveness of fluconazole in uncommon fungal infection.

Effect of single person operating Mammotome system on benign breast tumor and its curative effects / 中华内分泌外科杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of single operation Mammotome system on breast benign tumor patients.Methods 86 cases of benign breast cancer patients admitted from Jan.2011 to Dec.2015 were divided into the control group (43 cases) and the observation group (43 cases) according to the random number table method.The control group were treated by traditional breast lesion resection and the observation group were treated by single operation of Mammotome system.The mean time of operation,the average blood loss and the size of surgical scar were recorded.The number of patients with deformity of breast and complications was recorded.The satisfaction of the two groups was evaluated by questionnaire.The recurrence rate of the two groups was statistically analyzed.Results The average operation time of the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group,and the scar size was significantly smaller than that of the control group (P＜0.05).The deformity rate of the observation group was 0％,significantly lower than that of the control group (11.6％).The satisfaction rate was 97.7％ in the observation group,significantly higher than that of the control group (83.7％,P＜0.05).The postoperative complication rate was 4.7％ in the observation group,significantly lower than that of the control group (18.6％,P＜0.05).There was no recurrence in the two groups during 6 months of follow-up.Conclusion The application of single breast operation Mammotome treatment for benign breast tumor has the advantages of simple operation,shorter operation time,less intraoperative blood loss and surgical scars.It also can reduce the postoperative complications,keep breast shape,reduce the recurrence rate,so as to improve the patient satisfaction.
