An abscess is a common disease worldwide and its diagnosis is usually straightforward. However, pelvic abscess is rarely seen in daily clinical practice. Besides, it is a challenge for the surgeon to diagnose abscesses in unusual location, including the pelvis. A 41-year-old housewife lady had a history of poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with recurrent vaginitis, cervicitis, and recurrent urinary tract infection. She presented with bilateral hip joint pain and limitation in her movement, with diabetic ketoacidosis. She was admitted to the hospital for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis. A physical examination revealed a high-grade fever, unwell, and there is a pelvic mass. Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis and a low hemoglobin level. Ultrasonography and computerized tomography revealed a 5 × 5 pelvic mass, which was located anterior to the bladder, with a high suspicion of an abscess formation. The patient was admitted to the surgical ward and drainage of the abscess under general anesthesia with antibiotic cover was performed. The patient was discharged two weeks postoperatively with an improvement in all presenting features. Bilateral insidious hip joint pain with limitation of movement should orient the clinician to a pelvic abscess as one of the differential diagnoses of these symptoms.

A 36-year-old gentleman presented to the Dermatology and Venereology outpatient clinic with a painless nodule of the volar aspect of the left forearm for six months (Panel A). On examination, there was a single, non-tender, smooth surface, and dome-shaped nodule. It was shiny with a reddish rim at its periphery. The nodule was excised completely as a treatment and for histopathological examination that shows it as a clear cell acanthoma (CCA) [panel B (H/E-4X) and C (H/E-10X)]. CCA is a rare benign cutaneous tumor of unknown cause. It is mostly presented as a painless, solitary, slowly growing, and pink-brown or red nodule that is seen mostly on the distal lower extremities of middle-aged and elderly patients. Multiple lesions and different morphologies such as polypoid, giant, atypical, pigmented, and cystic lesions can be seen. Other sites like the abdomen, areola, face, and scrotum can be affected. CCA has specific dermoscopic features in which the blood vessels are arranged in a string-like appearance, but the diagnosis is rarely done without biopsy. Histopathological examination reveals epidermal acanthosis with a psoriasiform pattern of pale keratinocytes and spongiosis in association with dilated blood vessels of the edematous dermal papillae. CCA is treated by surgery such as excision, CO2 laser, or cryosurgery. With a weekly regular follow-up of the patient for two months, the lesion was completely cured.

Background: Myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS) is defined as the motor, sensory, and autonomic signs resulting from trigger points (TrPs). Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of the perineural injection in patients with MFPS. Materials and methods: The study was conducted at AL Ramadi Teaching Hospital, Department of Rheumatology, Ramadi City, Iraq. The study period was from June 2019 to January 2021. A retrospective review of 100 patients with prospectively collected clinical and radiologic data was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of perineural injection on MFPS. A 3 ml of 5% dextrose solution was managed sub-cutaneous straight at the labeled chronic constrictive injury and tender spots rounding the knee. The VAS and WOMAC were calculated for each participant at the time of the presentation and 1, 3, and 6 months following treatment. Results: The mean age of the patients was 60.93 ± 6.17 years (25-70 years). Three-quarters (75/100) of the cases were female. Seventy subjects were from the age group ≥ 40 years, while the remaining 30 cases were from the age group < 40 years. Fifty-five cases were with right-sided involvement. Successful results were achieved in 90% of the participants. There were no statistically significant differences between the effective and not effective groups regarding the age, gender, and the involved side (P-value > 0.05). There was a reduction in the mean VAS (8.47 ± 0.77) of pain and WOMAC (78.99 ± 5.69) score at the time of presentation to 1.87 ± 1.32 for the VAS and 17.84 ± 4.66 WOMAC at 6-months post-injection period. No complications were reported in all patients apart from mild pain at the injection site. Conclusion: Perineural dextrose injection was successful in 90% of the patients with MFPS. This modality results in a sharp reduction of both VAS and WOMAC scores from the time of the presentation to 6-months post-treatment. We recommend using this modality because it is easy, effective, and safe.
