Acute appendicitis after a fall from a ladder: a traumatic aetiology?

Emergency medicine journal : EMJ·2002

Two breast hematoma cases revealed rare underlying conditions. Prompt histological examination is crucial for accurate diagnosis, especially in elderly patients, to avoid misdiagnosis from clinical presentation alone.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Breast hematomas can present with varied etiologies.
  • Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate patient management.

Observation:

  • Case 1: A patient with bilateral breast augmentation using shredded cellophane packing developed an infected hematoma post-trauma.
  • Case 2: A patient on long-term anticoagulation developed a hematoma due to bleeding from an occult malignancy.

Findings:

  • Uncommon pathologies can underlie breast hematomas.
  • Cellophane packing in breast augmentation may lead to complications.
  • Occult malignancies can manifest as breast hematomas, particularly in patients on anticoagulants.

Implications:

  • Histological examination is vital for diagnosing breast hematomas with unclear origins.
  • Clinical history and examination alone may be insufficient, especially in the elderly.
  • This highlights the importance of thorough investigation in atypical breast presentations.
