Foreskin analysis of circumcised boys with and without previous topical corticosteroid.
Problems with the foreskin are common reasons for pediatric surgery consultations. We collected the foreskin of 40 patients for 2 years and these samples were divided into groups with and without previous topical corticosteroid. ⋯ Fibrosis was higher in patients who used topical corticosteroid. A histopathologic study of the foreskin may provide an additional analysis of patients undergoing circumcision and it can also improve the accuracy of surgical indication.

Case ReportsAggressive sinonasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma mimicking refractory sinusitis in a 4-year-old boy.
Pediatric patients with nasal symptoms are common, and most of them usually have inflammatory diseases, such as sinusitis, chronic rhinitis, nasal polyp, or adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Rarely, however, these inflammatory symptoms may be associated with more sinister pathology. Recently, we experienced a case of a 4-year-old boy with sinonasal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma whose initial symptoms were of nasal obstruction and mucopurulent nasal discharge.
