RESUMO
UNLABELLED: We report a huge pilomatrixoma of the left shoulder in an elderly female, raising fear of malignancy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging delineated the swelling and wide surgical excision was performed. Post operative recovery was uneventful. Long term follow up is necessary in view of the possibility of recurrence and malignant transformation. KEY WORDS: Pilomatrixoma, Pilomatricoma, Calcifying Epithelioma of Malherbe, Shoulder, Upper Limb, Elderly, Female.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Total talus dislocation is a rare injury and is commonly accompanied by associated fractures. Common worrisome sequelae are infection, avascular necrosis and post-traumatic arthritis. We report here on a patient who sustained an open total talus dislocation with an ipsilateral medial malleolus fracture. Following early debridement, reduction and a combination of internal and external fixations, early recovery was good with no evidence of avascular necrosis. KEY WORDS: Total talus dislocation, avascular necrosis, infection, outcome.
