RESUMEN
Lymphedema is originated from the reduced lymphatic flow, causing a volumetric increase in the affected region and is physically and emotionally uncomfortable. Surgical intervention is considered the best treatment option as it brings both functional and aesthetic benefits. This is a report from the case of a previously healthy 45-year-old man who developed idiopathic penoscrotal giant lymphedema. A surgical approach was proposed. There was resection of scrotal lymphedema followed by a classic postectomy, suprapubic advancement flaps, and use of a partial skin graft from the right thigh. The results of the therapeutic approach were aesthetically and functionally satisfactory.
RESUMEN
Lemierre syndrome is a rare complication of oropharyngeal infection, especially acute pharyngotonsillitis, associated with septicemia and thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV). We present the case of a 52-year-old patient who underwent liver transplantation and returned with symptoms of pain, redness and left cervical bulging 1 month after surgery. After investigation, the diagnosis of septic thrombophlebitis of the IJV was made. The patient responded well to treatment with antibiotic therapy and full anticoagulation. To the best of our knowledge, the present report is the first report of Lemierre syndrome in a post-liver transplant patient.
