ABSTRACT

The case of a 42- year old woman with leiomyosarcoma of the kidney, a very rare renal lesion, is presented. Leiomyosarcomas are the most common of the primary renal sarcomas which account for less than 1% of renal tumours in adults.

Etofenamate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Clinical findings caused by etofenamate
are uncommon. Allergic contact dermatitis is the most common cutaneous reaction reported. But
petechial eruption due to etofenamate had not been reported yet. This report concerns an 11-year old
male with petechial eruption after application of topical etofenamate.
Physicians need to be aware that patients can develop an asymptomatic purpuric eruption when
etofenamate is ordered.

We report a case of significant unilateral left proptosis after a fall in a 10-year old child. Magnetic
resonance imaging showed an extraconal hyperintense orbital mass extending into the maxillary sinus
which was opacified. After drainage the proptosis resolved. The cause of the acute proptosis was
haemorrhage within an orbital lymphangioma.
