Abstract
WE PRESENT THE CASE OF A 13 -YEARS OLD FEMALE CHILD, WITH A NODULAR TUMOR ON THE EAR LOBE, RESECTED AND INVESTIGATED IN THE PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL OF PITEȘTI, ROMANIA. THE INITIAL CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS WAS OF A SEBACOUS CYST, BUT, AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION AT THE MICROSCOPE, WE DETECTED THE PRESENCE OF SQUAMOID PROLIFERATIONS, WITH KERATINISATION AND BASALOID FEATURE S, CONCLUDING THE DIAGNOSIS AS A METASTASIS WITH BASOSQUAMOUS CARCINOMA ORIGIN. BASOSQUAMOUS CARCINOMA REMAINS A RARE FINDING IN CHILDREN AND , IS OFTEN, MISINTERPRETED AS A SUQAMOUS CARCINOMA. THEREFORE, THIS WORK IS INTENDED TO FOCUS THE IMPORTANCE OF TH IS DISEASE FOR PATHOLOGISTS WHO INVESTIGATE CHILD DERMATOPATHOLOGY, REGARDING THIS MATTER.

WE PRESENT A CASE OF AN INFECTED ISOLATED CRUSHING INJURY OF THE THIGH (TRAFFIC ACCIDENT), A SSOCIATING A COMMINUTED FEMORAL FRACTURE AND SEVERE SOFT TISSUE INJURIES, WITH EXTENSIVE MUSCULAR NECROSIS. COMPLEX SURGICAL TREATMENT INCLUDING REPEATED DEBRIDEMENTS WAS NECESSARY FOR HEALING THE INFECTION AND SEQUENTIAL METHOD WAS USED FOR STABILIZING TH E FRACTURE. THE OUTCOME OF THE PATIENT WAS FAVORABLE BUT ONLY AFTER SERIAL DEBRIDEMENTS AND LAVAGES NEUTRALIZED THE INITIAL CONTAMINATION. THIS CASE DEMONSTRATES THE IMMEDIATE AND SECONDARY COMPLICATIONS OF CRUSHING INJURIES WHICH MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN TREATING THIS TYPE OF TRAUMA.
