Second Opinion is a difficult problem for every doctor put in this situation. In this position, we must not let ourselves be influenced, in any way, by the judgment of the first clinician, who formed a diagnosis. But not judging the “evidence” that led to the formation of the first diagnosis is difficult. This case presentation reveals the influence of a diagnosis assumed to be correct from the first interpretation. The patient, from the rural area, presents herself to the doctor following a trauma from falling down the stairs. A soft tissue ultrasound is performed and it is interpreted to be a hematoma. Afterwards, the lesion stagnates in size without progressing towards resorption. After repeating the ultrasound, its interpretation is influenced by the first ultrasound investigation supporting the same diagnosis. As a result, the patient is not guided to make a radical therapeutic decision. The presentation in our clinic was decided by the patient for a “second opinion” and, as a result, all the investigations carried out did not take into account the results previously stated by the patient during the clinical examination in the specialized outpatient clinic. The tumor was one with unimpressive dimensions but disturbing in appearance, without influencing the functionality of the forearm. The patient does not complain of pain or paresthesia in the area occupied by the tumor. She was clinging to deep plans and immovable in front of them.

Burn injuries are a major public health problem all over the world and despite significant improvements in critical care and surgical treatment, major burns are associated with high morbidity and mortality and poor recovery outcome. Patients with severe burns need immediate intervention and rapid initiation of speci-alized treatment in a dedicated critical care burn unit in order to minimize morbidity and mortality. The complex nature of burn injuries requires an integrative approach, by a multidisciplinary team in order to obta-in an optimal care. [...]

Major burn represents the most severe type of trauma, requiring high standard of treatment into regional specialized bun care centers[1]. According to American Burn Association(ABA), a major burn, which requires hospitalization in burn units, is represented by at least one of the following situations[2,3] [...]

Rhinophyma is a benign tumor characterized by a pro-gressive hypertrophy of the nose soft tissues, with a re-ddish and bulky appearance, affecting most frequently elderly Caucasian males[1], which may also cause functional airway obstruction. It is believed to be the end stage of severe acne rosacea, but the real cause and the exact etiology remain unknown[1]. The male to female ratio of rhinophyma patient varies between 5 to 1 and 30 to 1 [2,3]. The diagnosis is based on the clinical features of this rare and disfiguring disease using Rhinophyma Severity Index Score (RHISI)[4]. The main differential diagnosis is the basal cell carcinoma (BCC), with an occult incidence of 3% to 10% in patients with rhinophyma[1]. [...]
