Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) usually presents palpable purpura characterized by inflammation of vessel walls and fragmentation of nuclei. Various conditions can cause LCV, and it can be induced by influenza A virus infection. We report a 2-yr-old Korean girl who presented palpable purpuric and hemorrhagic lesions with fever.

This study was undertaken to define the normal range of palpable projection of the liver edge below the costal margin in different age groups and so help to resolve some of the conflicting views on the subject. The number of subjects in whom the spleen was palpab...

A 30-yr-old man was referred for suspicious rectal cancer because of ulcerated lesions in the rectum and a palpable mass in left inguinal area.

Both venereal disease research laboratories (VDRL) and fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-...

A 27-year-old lady presented with palpable abdominal mass five years after cesarean section. Retained foreign body was diagnosed radiologically and confirmed with operation. Retained foreign body should be in the differential diagnosis of any postoperative pa...
