RESUMO
Angiosarcomas are rare, highly malignant tumours of vascular origin. They present as fast growing, haematoma-like and diffuse lesions. In this case report, a 71-year-old woman presented with what was assessed as an abscess arising from a traumatic haematoma of the forehead. The lesion was primarily treated conservatively. The condition progressed despite of treatment to a point where the tumour covered a third of her face. After four months, skin biopsies were taken and the diagnosis angiosarcoma was made. This case report should lead to an increased focus on angiosarcomas and the importance of sufficient biopsies.

Self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS) is one of the most frequent epilepsies in childhood, characterised by typical clinical presentation with characteristic EEG findings. This review investigates the existing knowledge regarding cognitive function, the potential effect of anti-seizure medicines on cognitive development as well as prognosis of SeLECTS based on recent studies. There is evidence supporting that SeLECTS may not be as benign as previously assumed due to the possible neurocognitive comorbidities.

This is a case report of a 62-year-old male who had penile augmentation surgery performed in Turkey. The surgery was complicated by infection and necrosis of the penile skin. The patient was treated with antibiotics, repeated wound debridement and a full thickness skin graft. Cosmetic penile surgery is considered controversial due to poor results and severe complications. Most men who seek surgery have normal penile size and may show signs of body dysmorphic disorder with avoidance behaviour and erectile dysfunction. These patients should be offered psychological treatment.
