EC Clinical and Medical Case Reports

We present the case of a 15-year-old male patient from Olancho, with a painless, progressively growing, vegetative tumor in the left gluteal region. This tumor eventually occupied approximately 70% of the area, affecting his ability to sit, wear underwear, and maintain proper personal hygiene. Physical examination revealed a mobile, painless mass. Surgical resection with wide margins under general anesthesia was performed, and the sample was sent for histopathological examination. During the same procedure, an attempt was made to approximate the defect, although without complete closure. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs were prescribed for seven days, and he was advised to rest without sitting to avoid postoperative complications. A second surgical intervention was performed 15 days later to completely close the remaining defect. Postoperative management continued with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, achieving satisfactory outcomes without significant complications, despite the complexity of the case.
