INTRODUCTION: Synchondrosis ischiopubic syndrome (SIS), also known as Van Neck-Odelberg disease, is a benign skeletal abnormality in children due to delayed closure in the ischiopubic synchondrosis (IPS). Patients may present with vague groin, hip, or buttock pain that can cause limitation of hip movement or limp. Few descriptions of this disorder exist, and it can easily be mistaken for other pathologies, including stress fracture, osteomyelitis, or tumor. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 9-year-old female gymnast presenting with right hip pain who was diagnosed with SIS...

INTRODUCTION: Extraforaminal stenosis in L5-S1, or far-out syndrome (FOS), is defined as L5 nerve compression by the transverse process (TP) of the L5 and the ala of the sacrum and disc bulging with/without osteophytes and/or the thickened lumbosacral and extraforaminal ligament. This study aims to describe the unilateral biportal endoscopic decompression technique of the extraforaminal stenosis at L5-S1 or far out syndrome and evaluate its clinical results with a literature review. CASE REPORT: A 44-year-old male presented with severe right sharp shooting pain in the buttock, thigh, leg, foot, and/or toes with numbness in the foot and toes (Visual Analog Scale [VAS] 8/10) for six months with an Oswestry disability index (ODI) score of 70%...

BACKGROUND: The wheelchair is a widely used rehabilitation device, which is indispensable for people with limited mobility. In the process of using a wheelchair, they often face the situation of sitting for a long time, which is easy to cause fatigue of the waist muscles of the user. Therefore, this paper hopes to provide more scientific guidance and suggestions for the daily use of wheelchairs by studying the relationship between the development of muscle fatigue and sitting posture...

Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by hip, buttock, and leg pain. Axial spondyloarthritis is a rheumatic disease primarily affecting the sacroiliac joint and the spine. Due to their anatomical proximity, the potential relationship between piriformis syndrome and sacroiliitis has been discussed for some time. However, literature review revealed that there is no study on piriformis syndrome in individuals with axial spondyloarthritis. Here, we present the case of a 30-year-old female with axial spondyloarthritis who developed severe low back, hip, and buttock pain that persisted despite initial treatment for axial spondyloarthritis...

INTRODUCTION: Body contouring procedures are commonly performed in the United States for patients seeking to sculpt specific areas of their bodies. The aim of this study was to provide an updated analysis of the factors that influence medical malpractice litigation surrounding body contouring surgery.

Bowen's disease is a slowly progressive squamous cell carcinoma (SSC) in situ with high potential for malignant transformation. In this case, we describe a patient with multicentric Bowen's disease for the past 26 years, developing growths over his left buttock. The patient had a previous history of growth developing over his right thigh, and was diagnosed with metatypical basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The points that make this case noteworthy are recurrent cutaneous carcinomas over the multicentric generalized occurrence of in situ SCC of extragenital type, the rarity of the site, and the nature of its morphological presentation in the skin of color...

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of using optimized parameters obtained by computer simulation for ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of uterine adenomyosis in comparison with conventional parameters. We retrospectively assessed a single-institution, prospective study that was registered at Clinical Research Information Service (CRiS) of Republic of Korea (KCT0003586).

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is characterized by the proliferation of malignant T cells in inflamed skin lesions. Mycosis fungoides (MF)-the most common variant of CTCL-often presents with skin lesions around the abdomen and buttocks ("bathing suit" distribution), i.e., in skin areas devoid of sun-induced vitamin D. For decades, sunlight and vitamin D have been connected to CTCL. Thus, vitamin D induces apoptosis and inhibits the expression of cytokines in malignant T cells. Furthermore, CTCL patients often display vitamin D deficiency, whereas phototherapy induces vitamin D and has beneficial effects in CTCL, suggesting that light and vitamin D have beneficial/protective effects in CTCL...

BACKGROUND: The contour of the thigh is increasingly being recognized as crucial component of the ideal human physique, giving rise to heightened interest in attaining the perfect thigh profile. Notwithstanding, the contemporary landscape of cosmetic surgery appears to be bereft of efficient and precise objective methodologies to evaluate the outcomes of thigh contouring treatments. The present study is aimed to investigate the aesthetic appeal of varying thigh contours, employing specialized software as an indispensable instrument for quantitative and qualitative analysis...

BACKGROUND: Sitosterolemia, also known as phytosterolemia, is a rare recessive genetic disorder characterized by accumulation of sitosterol from vegetable oils, nuts, and other plant-based foods in the body. In those with sitosterolemia, there is an increase of fatty deposits in the arteries (atherosclerosis), which may occur in early childhood, impeding blood flow and increasing the risk of a heart attack, stroke, or sudden death at a very early age. Visual signs of sitosterolemia may include small yellowish xanthomas beginning in early childhood...

Infectious sacroiliitis is a rare and challenging diagnosis. Sacroiliac joint changes related to pregnancy and puerperium can predispose to this condition. However, its clinical presentation can often mimic common causes of lower back pain and delay the diagnosis. We report the case of a 31-year-old pregnant woman with twins who presented at 29 weeks of gestation with lower back and right buttock pain that radiated down to the thigh. Although initially interpreted as sciatica pain, the diagnosis of psoas hematoma complicated with infectious sacroiliitis was made...

The patient was treated with various antimicrobials and underwent incisional drainage. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was detected in all draining specimens...

Hirsutism is a relatively common disorder which affects approximately 5% to 15% of women. It is defined by excessive growth of terminal hair in women, which primarily affects areas dependent on androgens, such as the face, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Hirsutism can be caused by a variety of etiologies, which are most often not lifethreatening. However, in some cases, hirsutism can be an indicator of more serious underlying pathology, such as a neoplasm, which may require further elucidation with imaging. Within the abdomen and pelvis, adrenal and ovarian pathologies are the primary consideration...

Chromoblastomycosis is an implantation mycosis of the skin caused by certain species of melanised fungi. A man in his 50s, born in Kerala but living in England for 14 years, presented with a nodular lesion on his left buttock, which had been present for 20 years. Biopsy revealed muriform cells and fungal culture isolated Fonsecaea spp , consistent with a diagnosis of chromoblastomycosis. Treatment with oral terbinafine was initiated and changed to itraconazole based on results of antifungal susceptibility. Drug intolerance and low drug levels of itraconazole necessitated change to voriconazole and topical terbinafine...
