Chronic compartment syndrome in the lower leg can be treated conservatively or surgically. [ 1 ] [ 23 ] Avoid using devices that apply pressure, like splints, casts, or tight dressings. [ 58 ] [ 24 ] If symptoms persist after basic treatment, or if someone wants to keep doing painful activities, compartment syndrome can be treated with surgery ...
About 10% of cases do not have lesions on the legs but rather present with one or more skin lesions outside of the legs; ~20% of individuals present with cutaneous lesion(s) but on further or later investigation are found to have disease in non-cutaneous sites such as the lymph nodes, visceral organs, [1] bone marrow, and/or, rarely, central ...
Cases of lymphangioma are diagnosed by histopathologic inspection. [10] In prenatal cases, lymphangioma is diagnosed during the late first trimester or early second trimester using an ultrasound. Other imaging methods such as CT and MRI scans are useful in treatment planning, delineate the size of the lesion, and determine its surrounding vital ...
Orbital lymphoma is a common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that occurs near or on the eye. Common symptoms include decreased vision and uveitis . Orbital lymphoma can be diagnosed via a biopsy of the eye and is usually treated with radiotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy .
RMS can occur in almost any soft-tissue site in the body; the most common primary sites are genitourinary (24%), parameningeal (16%), extremity (19%), orbit (9%), other head and neck (10%), and miscellaneous other sites (22%). [14] RMS often presents as a mass, but signs and symptoms can vary widely depending on the site of the primary tumor.
Idiopathic orbital inflammatory (IOI) disease refers to a marginated mass-like enhancing soft tissue involving any area of the orbit. It is the most common painful orbital mass in the adult population, and is associated with proptosis , cranial nerve palsy ( Tolosa–Hunt syndrome ), uveitis , and retinal detachment .
In advanced lipodermatosclerosis the proximal leg swells from chronic venous obstruction and the lower leg shrinks from chronic ulceration and fat necrosis resulting in the inverted coke bottle appearance of the lower leg. [7] Lipodermatosclerosis is most commonly diagnosed in middle-aged women. [3]
The white tumor infiltrates the adjacent skeletal muscle (red tissue – lower left) and fat (yellow tissue – upper left). This tendency for invasion of adjacent normal tissues and structures is the reason that desmoid-type fibromatosis has a relatively high rate of local recurrence, even after surgical removal.
