We report the case of a 34-year-old female who was evaluated for a right lower extremity soft-tissue mass, found to be a large cystic lesion bound by fibrous tissue containing innumerable, freely mobile nodules of fat. Her presentation suggested the diagnosis of nodula...
Breast Trauma and Fat Necrosis Soft tissue injuryto the breast may result from blunt and penetrating trauma. Shoulder-harness restraints have been reported to cause subcutaneous rupture of the breast. Most breast trauma is mild and self-limiting. Specific therapy is rarely required. ...
scheme, infected tissue is characterized by a marked neutrophilic infiltrate of the fascia, with accompanying liquefactive necrosis, andfat necrosis. Thrombosis and obliterative vasculitis with fibrinous necrosis of vessel walls is present. Abundant bacterial forms are seen within the necrotic tissue.11...
may demonstrate pathognomonic features. The majority of soft-tissue lumps are likely to be diagnosed as benign lipomas and the patients can be safely reassured. Ultrasound assessment is however highly user dependent, and therefore in the case of diagnostic ...
The energy cutting method generate thermal cutting to tumors by using energy sources, such as radiofrequency, laser, focused ultrasound and microwaves. These energy cutting methods require precise control of energy to cut the lesion area without affecting healthy tissue, but it is difficult to achiev...
The minimally invasive injection of tissue engineering scaffolds is of interest as it requires a smaller incision and quickens recovery. However, the engineering of scaffolds capable of injection remains a challenge. Here, we report on a shrunken scaffol
In recent years, musculoskeletal ultrasound has been used with increasing frequency particularly in emergency services. In musculoskeletal and soft tissue lesions, plain radiographs are the first-line diagnostic tools. However, in line with technological development, especially in selected cases, ultrasound...
Superficial soft tissue tumors can be classified into two categories: epidermal-dermal (or cutaneous) lesions and subcutaneous fat layer (or subcutaneous) lesions (Fig. 1.5a–c) (US of the normal skin and nail). The normal hyporeflective subcutaneous fat layer narrows with increasing extern...
infectious processes can spread rapidly and relatively unimpeded once initiated. Thus, NF comprises a spectrum of diseases characterized by extensive, rapidly progressive necrosis involving the fascia and peri-fascial planes and may secondarily involve the surrounding subcutaneous tissue, skin, and muscle ...
Pressure ulcers are localized areas of tissue necrosis that tend to develop when soft-tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and an external surface for a prolonged period of time. The damage may be relatively minor, or it may lead to massive destruction of deeper tissues. The majority...
