Item type:Publication, Imaging in lingual abscess: a case report(2024) ;Oscar Campos ;Ricardo Aris ;Francisca Santorcuato; Liberto Figueroa<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>Lingual abscess corresponds to an infection that manifests itself as a painful swelling in the tongue with purulent material inside. This is a rare entity and the information available in the literature is limited and based on clinical case reports. Therefore, the diagnosis, etiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment are not fully defined.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Case presentation</jats:title> <jats:p>The aim of this work was to describe the imaging of a case of lingual abscess, focusing on imaging evaluation using ultrasound and computed tomography (CT), and comparing the diagnostic utility of both modalities in smaller lingual abscesses. This case was treated with antibiotics and adequate drainage was performed, with good evolution.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>Tongue abscess is a rare pathology due to the various mechanisms that the tongue has to avoid infections; however, it is a diagnosis that we must consider. CT may be sufficient to diagnose it on imaging, but in smaller lesions, ultrasound with a high-frequency transducer provides more information.</jats:p> </jats:sec>1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Ulcerated Keloid Secondary to a Coexisting Complicated Epidermal Inclusion Cyst: A Sonographic Diagnosis(2020) ;Jaime Pérez-Wilson; ;Viviana García ;Frances Norris<jats:p> Keloid is a benign fibroblastic tumor that is most often secondary to tissue injury. The clinical presentation is a hard red or purple tumor, mostly itchy or painful. The clinical objectives are to report an ulcerated keloid secondary to a central or inner complicated epidermal inclusion cyst histologically proven and to describe the sonographic findings that permitted the diagnosis. A 29-year-old man with multiple large keloids on the chest wall presented with a two-day pain history, increased volume, and ulceration on one side. Physical examination showed a keloid with edema, peripheral erythema, and a 1-cm central ulcer with purulent discharge. On the sonogram, multiple solid dermal hypodermal pseudotumors were visualized. The lesions were well-defined hypoechogenic heterogeneous solid masses that were hypovascular with color Doppler, concordant with keloids. Within the ulcerated enlarged mass, a complicated epidermal inclusion cyst was discovered with inflammatory changes. The significance of this case lies in the very low frequency of ulceration of a keloid and the high diagnostic value of sonography to demonstrate the presence of a coexisting epidermal inclusion cyst. In the differential diagnosis of an ulcerated keloid, sonography can assist in achieving a better presurgical approach. </jats:p>1 1Scopus© Citations 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Appendicular Lymphoid Hyperplasia in the Differential Diagnosis of Acute Appendicitis: Sonographic Findings(2020); ;Lizbet Pérez ;Marcela Cortes ;Margarita SwittJaviera Aguirre<jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives:</jats:title><jats:p> To describe sonographic findings of appendicular lymphoid hyperplasia (ALH) and to report demographic data of patients with ALH operated for acute appendicitis (AA). </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods:</jats:title><jats:p> In a retrospective study, 694 biopsies of consecutive AA surgeries with previous ultrasonography (US) were reviewed, after selecting the ALH cases. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:</jats:title><jats:p> Twenty-five ALH cases were proved histologically (3.8% of appendectomies). The mean age was 13 years, with 84% under 20 years. US findings showed increased appendiceal diameter (average 7 mm) (82%), hypoechogenic pseudonodular mucosal thickening (50%), concentric parietal thickening (13%), and periappendiceal inflammatory changes (18%). In four cases, a normal appendix was noted on US, with two associated with intestinal intussusceptions. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title><jats:p> ALH is a benign entity most frequent in children that can predispose to AA. Both pathologies can increase the appendiceal diameter. In the pediatric group, ALH could be considered when hypoechogenic pseudonodular appendicular mucosal thickening in the absence of periappendiceal inflammatory changes occurs. </jats:p></jats:sec>1 1Scopus© Citations 5
