Objective. To assess the influence of the extent of sclerosing component in the retroperitoneal well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS) on the survival. Material and methods. The retrospective study included 111 patients with primary retroperitoneal WLPS who underwent radical surgical treatment in Federal State Budgetary Institution N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology. Histological slides of all surgical specimens were reviewed by experienced pathologist and reclassified according to criteria of WHO (2013). Patients were divided into groups depending on the extent of the sclerosing component in the tumor and enrolled in intergroup analysis. We analyzed relationship between extent of the sclerosing component in the tumor and frequency of the pathologically confirmed visceral invasion. Also, we have analyzed the influence of the visceral invasion of WDLPS on the long-term results overall (OS) and recurrence-free (RFS) survival. Results. Pathologically confirmed visceral invasion was revealed in 17% of cases with the sclerosing component less 20%, and in 31% of cases with the sclerosing component more 20%. OS was significantly worse in the group of patients who suffered from WDLPS with visceral invasion than in the group of patients without visceral invasion (p = 0.009; logarithmic criterion). The median OS in the compared groups was 85 (95% CI, 84, 87) and 142 (95% CI, 109, 175) months, the 5-year OS rate was 41% and 86%, respectively. RFS was significantly worse in the group of patients with histologically confirmed visceral invasion than in the group without organ invasion (p = 0.001; logarithmic criterion). Median RFS in the compared groups was 26 (95% CI, 20, 32) and 57 (95% CI, 38, 76) months, 2-year RFS 33% and 85%, respectively. Conclusion. Results of the study demonstrate more aggressive behavior of WDLPS with increasing extent of the sclerosing component. We believe that semi-quantitative counting of sclerosing component in retroperitoneal WDLPS can serve as an effective morphological marker of a less favorable prognosis of the disease.

A thirteen-year-old female spayed with a history of hydronephrosis was presented for a routine abdominal ultrasonographic exam. The imaging exam showed a mass involving the pancreas and a large mass affecting the spleen. Exploratory laparotomy evidenced a mass in the pancreas and another involving one-third of the spleen. The patient had partial pancreatectomy and splenectomy. The histopathology report came back with a diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy was declined. The cat is still free of gross tumor recurrence and metastatic disease after twenty-six months. Early diagnosed and aggressively treated feline pancreatic carcinoma might yield a favorable prognosis.

Background: To evaluate safety, short and long-term graft patency, clinical success rates, and factors associated with patency, limb salvage and mortality after surgical reconstruction in patients younger than 50 years of age who had undergone unilateral iliac artery bypass surgery. Patients and methods: From January 2000 to January 2010, 65 consecutive reconstructive vascular operations were performed in 22 women and 43 men of age < 50 years with unilateral iliac atherosclerotic lesions and claudication or chronic limb ischemia. All patients were followed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery and every 6 months thereafter. Results: There was in-hospital vascular graft thrombosis in four (6.1 %) patients. No in-hospital deaths occurred. Median follow-up was 49.6 ± 33 months. Primary patency rates at 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year were 92.2 %, 85.6 %, 73.6 %, and 56.5 %, respectively. Seven patients passed away during follow-up of which four patients due to coronary artery disease, two patients due to cerebrovascular disease and one patient due to malignancy. Limb salvage rate after 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year follow-up was 100 %, 100 %, 96.3 %, and 91.2 %, respectively. Cox regression analysis including age, sex, risk factors for vascular disease, indication for treatment, preoperative ABI, lesion length, graft diameter and type of pre-procedural lesion (stenosis/occlusion), showed that only age (beta - 0.281, expected beta 0.755, p = 0.007) and presence of diabetes mellitus during index surgery (beta - 1.292, expected beta 0.275, p = 0.026) were found to be significant predictors of diminishing graft patency during the follow-up. Presence of diabetes mellitus during index surgery (beta - 1.246, expected beta 0.291, p = 0.034) was the only variable predicting mortality. Conclusions: Surgical treatment for unilateral iliac lesions in patients with premature atherosclerosis is a safe procedure with a low operative risk and acceptable long-term results. Diabetes mellitus and age at index surgery are predictive for low graft patency. Presence of diabetes is associated with decreased long-term survival.
