Non-surgical Treatment of Verrucous Hyperplasia on Amputation Stump: A Case Report and Literature Review

Published on: 20th September, 2024

Verrucous hyperplasia is a wart-like lesion that can develop on amputation stumps, often due to poor-fitting prostheses, venous stasis, friction, and bacterial infections. While surgical excision is sometimes necessary for intractable cases, many instances can be managed non-surgically. We present the case of a 35-year-old male with a slowly growing verrucous plaque on his amputated stump that had caused repeated infections. His prosthesis was loose, allowing the stump to hang loosely inside the socket. After histological confirmation of verrucous hyperplasia, he was advised to change his prosthesis and use compression bandaging. Over 5 months, the lesion resolved without surgery. Early recognition and non-surgical management, including proper prosthetic fit, compression, and hygiene, can often successfully treat verrucous hyperplasia of amputation stumps. This avoids the need for excision in many cases. Patients and clinicians should be aware of this condition and the importance of prosthetic fit and limb care to prevent and treat it.

Transforming Cancer Care through Physical Exercise: A Path to Holistic Healing

Published on: 7th November, 2024

The role of physical exercise in cancer treatment is gaining increasing recognition as part of a holistic approach to patient care. Traditionally, cancer treatment has focused on surgical, hormonal, chemotherapeutic, as well as radiotherapeutic interventions. However, recent studies underscore the significant benefits of integrating physical exercise into treatment plans, not merely as a supplementary activity but as a core component of cancer care [1].

Forensic Science in Pediatric Dentistry: Collect Preserve & Analyse: A Review

Published on: 23rd April, 2025

Dentistry has much to offer in the detection and solution of crime or civil proceedings. Forensic dentistry requires an interdisciplinary knowledge of dental science, and it is the role of the Forensic Odontologist to establish a person's identity. Teeth, with their physiologic variations, pathosis record information that remains throughout life and beyond. Forensic Odontology has an important role in the recognition of abuse among children. Teeth may also be used as a weapon against children, and physical evidence such as DNA, bite marks, fingerprints may objectively link suspects to a crime and develop important investigative leads. Gender identification and sex determination by analyzing the pulp tissue in primary teeth can be regarded as an effective tool in providing valuable forensic information. The rights of children and their aspirations are of paramount importance, and the Pediatric dentist can contribute immensely to the field of Forensic Odontology in providing justice to these unfortunate children.
