Methods All severely injured patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 50 were identified in a 6-year-period between 2000 and 2005 in German Level 1 Trauma Center Murnau. Data was evaluated from German Trauma Registry and Polytrauma Outcome Chart of the German Society for Trauma Surgery and a personal interview to assess working ability and disability and are presented as average. Results 88 out of 1435 evaluated patients after severe polytrauma demonstrated an ISS ≥ 50 (6.5\%), among them 23\% women and 77\% men. 66 patients (75\%) had an ISS of 50-60, 14 (16\%) 61-70, and 8 (9\%) ≥ 70. In 27\% of patients trauma was caused by motor bike accidents. 3.6 body regions were involved. Patients had to be operated 5.3 times and were treated 23 days in the ICU and stayed 73 days in hospital. Mortality rate was 36\% and rate of multi-organ failure 28\%. 15\% of patients demonstrated severe senso-motoric dysfunction as well as residues of severe head injury. 25\% recovered well or at least moderately. 29 out of 56 survivors answered the POLO-chart. A personal interview was performed with 13 patients. The state of health was at least moderate in 72\% of patients. In 48\% interpersonal problems and in 41\% severe pain was observed. In 57\% of patients problems with working ability regarding duration, as well as quantitative and qualitative performance were observed. Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder were found in 41\%. The more distal the lesions were located (foot/ankle) the more functional disability affected daily life. In only 15\%, working ability was not impaired. 8 out of 13 interviewed patients demonstrated complete work disability. Conclusions Even severely injured patients after multiple trauma have a good prognosis. The ISS is an established tool to assess severity and prognosis of trauma, whereas prediction of clinical outcome cannot be deducted from this score.}, language = {en} } @article{KneitzRoseGlutschetal.2022, author = {Kneitz, Hermann and Rose, Christian and Glutsch, Valerie and Goebeler, Matthias}, title = {Recurrence of a cellular blue nevus with satellitosis — a diagnostic pitfall with clinical consequences}, series = {Dermatopathology}, volume = {9}, journal = {Dermatopathology}, number = {4}, issn = {2296-3529}, doi = {10.3390/dermatopathology9040042}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-297436}, pages = {361 -- 367}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Blue nevus is a benign melanocytic lesion, typically asymptomatic and of unknown etiology. Several histologic and clinical variants have been distinguished, the most frequent being common blue nevus, cellular blue nevus, and combined blue nevus. Although melanocytic nevi with a satellite lesion are usually suggestive of locally advanced malignant melanoma, very few cases of blue nevi with satellite lesions have been reported. The diagnosis of common or cellular blue nevi is generally straightforward; however, the presence of structures such as irregular edges or satellitosis are highly suggestive for malignancy, and differential diagnoses such as locally advanced malignant melanoma and malignant blue nevus should be considered. Recurrent blue nevi can display atypical features not seen in the primary lesion, such as pleomorphism and mitotic activity. They usually tend to follow a benign course; however, in some cases, recurrence may indicate malignant transformation. We here report the unique case of a 64-year-old woman with a recurrent cellular blue nevus accompanied by satellite lesions. Such a biological behavior resulting in a clinical presentation as a melanoma-like lesion is a rarity in blue nevus and has not been described before.}, language = {en} }
