In this article, we presented a 57-year-old woman with a history of snuff abuse for 16 years and developed squamous cell carcinonoma in the columellar skin. Primary cancer of nasal columella is extremely rare. This is a very agressive tumor and if not resected adequately it can easily spread to adjacent structures.. These tumors should be treated radically. The tumor was resected and defect was...

scar endometriosis is a rare form of extra-pelvic endometriosis that can occur after surgery involving the uterus. direct mechanical implantation seems to be the most conceivable theory for scar endometriosis. patient usually presents with lump and pain at surgical site. often the diagnosis of endometriosis is not suggested until histology has been performed. we hereby present a case of scar en...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) patients are at risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA) related to scar tissue. Late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) can accurately identify myocardial scar extent. It has been shown that scar extent, particularly scar transmurality, percent scar and scar mass, are associated with the occurrence of approp...

METHODS: Preand post-operative anthropometric measurements and standardized medical photographs were collected of patients with bilateral cleft lip during medical missions conducted by Operation Smile in Bolivia, Madagascar, Morocco and Vietnam. Ratios of nostril width, cleft width and lip transverse length, as well as measurements of philtral height and the columellar-philtral angle, were calc...

pregnancy implantation within the scar of a previous cesarean delivery is one of the rarest locations for an ectopic pregnancy. early diagnosis of this condition with the use of ultrasound imaging allows for preserving the uterus and subsequent fertility. however, a delay in either diagnosis or treatment can lead to uterine rupture, hysterectomy and significant maternal morbidity. with increasi...

  Objective (s): Scar formation in injured peripheral nerve bed causes several consequences which impede the process of nerve regeneration. Several animal models are used for scar induction in preclinical studies which target prevention and/or suppression of perineural scar. This study evaluates the translational capacity of four of physical injury models to induce scar formation aro...
