PRIKAZI SLUČAJA CASE REPORTS Le Fort type 3 fracture or not?

Axial non-contrast CT scan is the standard technique in patients with head and/or face injury. The three dimensional CT imaging reconstruction is becoming a gold standard in trauma of maxillofacial region enabling a clear perception of fracture lines and resulting displacement of fracture fragments. Le Fort fractures are fractures of the midface. In Le Fort type 3 fracture the craniofacial disjunction is present. A 91-yearold female had a mild facial trauma as a result of accidental fall. Axial CT scan showed artifacts, but three dimensional CT imaging reconstruction showed typical Le Fort type 3 fracture. Since clinical and 3D CT reconstruction finding were in complete contradiction, we repeated CT scan, which showed normal finding. This case is shows that in an era of incredible progress of neuroradiology, clinical examination still remains the best diagnostic tool.

Malignant giant cell type fibrohistiocitom of the abdominal wall

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a condition involving a tumor of the bone or soft tissues. The tumor often appears in the legs or arms, but it can develop in other parts of the body. The disease is the most common soft tissue cancer that is diagnosed in older adults, and is often diagnosed in people between the ages of 50 and 70. We present a case of giant cell malignant fibrohistiocytoma of the abdominal wall. A 77 year old woman was admitted for further evaluation and treatment of tumor in the right ingvinal region of the abdominal wall. She claimed that tumor have appeared 3 mounths earlier and it was characterized by rapid growth and tenderness. NMR demonstrated expansive heterogeneous mass, 18,6x16,2cm of diameter. We performed total extirpation of the tumor. Postoperative period was uncomplicated and she was discharged from the hospitaly in good condition. Pathohystological examination confirmed malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Depending on the stage of disease and the depth of invasion by the tumor, surgical resection is the treatment of choice. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy are other therapeutic modalities. Long term followup with regular chest X-rays and CT scans of the abdomen to detect tumor recurrence, metastasis and any lymph node involvement are mandatory.
