Fibrocystic disease of vulvar ectopic breast tissue. Case report and review of the literature.

INTRODUCTION: Mammary glands located in the vulvar region have been named as ectopic breast tissue or anogenital mammary glands by different authors. Literature on pathologies of ectopic breast tissue located in the vulvar region is rare. Most of the reports are about the malignancies arising from this ectopic tissue. CASE REPORT: We report a case of fibrocystic disease of the mammary glands in the vulva in a 25-year-old pregnant woman. Her disease was exaggerated during pregnancy. CONCLUSION: Ectopic breast tissue in the vulva is a rare entity and fibrocystic disease of this tissue has rarely been reported in the English literature.

Massive hydroxychloroquine overdose.

We report a case presenting with massive overdose of hydroxychloroquine who survived without any sequelae. A 17-year-old girl presented to the Emergency Department 45 min after the ingestion of 22 g of hydroxychloroquine in a suicide attempt. We believe this is highest dose yet reported in the medical literature. The patient developed hypotension, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and mild hypokalemia. She was managed with saline infusion and dopamine for hypotension, gastric lavage and activated charcoal for decontamination, lidocain, magnesium sulfate and defibrillation for pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Potassium replacement and bicarbonate administration were performed. Quick treatment of hypotension, gastric decontamination, continuous long-term cardiac monitoring, and treatment of arrhythmias are the cornerstones of hydroxychloroquine overdose management.
