20.500.12556/DiRROS-17939 A paraungual tumor? - No, just tungiasis Paraungvalni tumor? - Ne, samo tungiaza Background. Tunga penetrans is a burrowing flea that is prevalent in Central and South America, the Caribbean, tropical Africa, India and Pakistan. Tungiasis results from cutaneous infestation by gravid female flea, Tunga penetrans. Case report. We report a case of tungiasis in a male who had been on a tourist expedition to Bolivia and Peru. The condition had manifested as aparaungual infiltration of a toe, that was clinically suspicious for tumor. Conclusions. Microscopic examination of the lesion and travel history led to the diagnosis of tungiasis. This is the first case report of Tunga penetrans infestation in Slovenia. Izhodišča. Tunga penetrans je zajedalska bolha, ki živi predvsem v Centralni in Južni Ameriki, Karibih, tropski Afriki, Indiji in v Pakistanu. Tungiaza nastane, ko se naseli v kožo gostitelja gravidna bolšja samica. Prikaz primera. Opisujemo primer tungiaze pri pacientu, ki je bil pred tem na turističnem pohodu v Boliviji in Peruju. Bolnik je opazil paraungvalno infiltracijo kože palca na nogi. Ker je bila sprememba klinično sumljiva za tumor, so napravili ekscizijsko biopsijo. Zaključki. Za pravilno diagnozo sta bili odločilni histološka slika in podatek o potovanju. Gre za prvi opisan primer tungiaze v Sloveniji. true false true Slovenian Medical Association - Slovenian Association of Radiology, Nuclear Medicine Society, Slovenian Society far Radiotherapy and Oncology, and Slovenian Cancer Society Ljubljana Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik by Authors Neznano 2024-01-23 09:51:41 2024-01-23 09:51:42 2024-01-24 03:36:09 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2000 0 0 BSDOCID51339; str. 35-39 št. 1 Letn. 34 March 2000 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2000-03-01 616-006 1318-2099 11320025 RAZ_Golouh_Rastko_2000.pdf RAZ_Golouh_Rastko_2000.pdf 1 B9B12B6A4321350131F86348305E101C d7650f64a3baf0539104448022fc9e438f519e81e309b05ef216976b7aca05d5 cc781da0-b9cc-11ee-b0d4-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=24330 Onkološki inštitut Ljubljana 0 0 0
