Fat necrosis of the breast--a review.

Fat necrosis of the breast is a benign condition that most frequently affects peri-menopausal women. It can mimic breast cancer clinically or radiologically. In other cases it can obscure malignant lesions. The core of this review is derived from a MEDLINE database literature search from 1966-2004. Further references were from lateral search. In this paper, we review the pathogenesis and pathology clinical and radiological features of fat necrosis of the breast. The implication of fat necrosis in the management of patients with breast lump is also discussed. Fat necrosis of breast is a complex process. Therefore, a systematic review of this condition will enable surgeons, radiologists and oncologists working in the field of breast disease to understand it better and improve its management.

An unusual presentation of thyroglossal duct cyst.

Thyroglossal duct cyst usually presents as a painless swelling in the mid-line of the neck. This is the first documented case of an acute presentation of hoarseness and multi-loculated swelling. It also contrasts the limitations of ultrasonography with the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging in such atypical swellings.

Clinical audit: can we improve further?

Clinical audit is an important tool for comparing one's practice against existing standards. The authors have analysed the Junior Doctor's understanding of audit by performing a survey and questionnaire from 146 trainees, SpRs and SHOs from nine hospitals. The study showed that 107 (72.8%) performed audit and among those who performed audit, 52 (48.6%) experienced difficulty in obtaining data. This study highlights the importance of support needed to encourage the junior doctors to participate in audit programmes.

Axillary arch and its implications in axillary dissection--review.

Axillary arch is an anomalous muscular slip of latissimus dorsi muscle occasionally encountered in axillary dissection. A systematic review of medical literature published between 1966 to 1999 was performed regarding its incidence, clinical features and management. Its presence in axillary dissection should be recognised to avoid confusion in staging of lymph nodes and to prevent injury to axillary vessels and brachial plexus.

Acute spontaneous haematoma of the rectum.

Gastrointestinal haematomata occur usually in the small intestine and may be secondary to anticoagulation. Spontaneous intramural haematoma of the rectum is rare. We report such a case which presented as acute abdominal pain and which was treated by simple drainage.
