Abstract:
A 24-year-old man presented with impending ulceration of a large thigh swelling which appeared after minor trauma. Imaging revealed a large well-encapsulated lesion with no vascularity. He was diagnosed to have a pseudotumor and underwent successful excision of the mass under blood and cryoprecipitate cover. The unusual presentation was suspected to be secondary to a transient drug-induced factor XIII deficiency because the result of the final coagulation study was normal.

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
