RESUMEN
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease involving apocrine glands of the skin. It carries out an important burden on the daily life of the patient. Unfortunately, it presents a major concern for medical care management in the absence of clear guidelines for proper medical and surgical treatment. Hence, we report a case of concomitant axillary and perianal HS. We opted for surgical management using a novel technique, which proved efficacy for a year of follow-up recurrence free.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Adrenal incidentalomas are tumors found accidentally by imaging. Among the incidentalomas, hemangiomas are quite rare and in certain cases their surgical intervention should never be overlooked. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a case of 70 years old Lebanese female with an adrenal tumor presented as syncope found to have anemia on presentation and a bleeding 17 cm adrenal tumor on imaging. Patient had workup to rule out functioning adrenal tumors and decision to excise the tumor was taken after failure of embolization. Pathology report denied malignancy despite of the huge size and was in favor of hemangioma. CONCLUSION: Adrenal hemangiomas are rare and they rarely present as syncope. Attention to such a life-threatening condition should be sustained. Embolization is primarily implied but one should never neglect the failure rate and the need for surgical intervention.
