Patella tendinopathy condition is often resistant to conservative treatment. We report a case of patella tendinopathy treated by distalisation of the tibial tubercle with excellent long-term result.

The authors indicated that pronounced deformities of the ducts of the large salivary glands occur in 70% of patients with chronic sialadenitis. Due to the fact that conservative treatment of ductal sialadenitis, especially pronounced, does not give long-term results, the authors proposed various methods of surgical treatment of ductal sialadenitis, which have a low level of trauma of collateral tissues and provides a stable long-term result.

Os tumores vesicais ocorrem mais frequentemente entre a quinta e sétima décadas de vida, sendo raros antes dos 40 anos de idade. O rabdomiossarcoma é um tumor embrionário raro originado do tecido muscular esquelético, que, quando localizado no trato geniturinário, se manifesta com hematúria e sintomas urinários obstrutivos. É um tumor que acomete principalmente a faixa etária infantil. Por se tratar de um tumor muito agressivo geralmente necessita de tratamento cirúrgico, com ressecções parciais e até mesmo remoção completa de grande parte do trato geniturinário baixo. Será relatado um caso de rabdomiossarcoma vesical em criança de 5 anos, cujo tratamento sem cirurgia foi curativo e que com acompanhamento a longo prazo não houve recorrência tumoral. Palavras chaves: Bexiga, rabdomiossarcoma, tratamento conservador  ABSTRACTThe bladder tumors occur most often between the fifth and seventh decades of life, being rare before forty. The embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare tumor originating from the skeletal muscle tissue, which, when located in the genitourinary tract, manifested with haematuria and urinary obstruction. This tumor is more common in the childhood. It’s a very aggressive tumor and usually requires surgical treatment which partial resection and even the complete removal of much of the lower urinary tract. This is a report of one case of bladder rhabdomyosarcoma in a 5 years old child, whose treatment was curative without surgery, and in the long-term following there was no tumor recurrence. Keywords: Bladder, rhabdomyosarcoma, conservative treatment

Permanent dysphagia occurring after laryngectomy or laryngopharyngectomy is uncommon, and when it does occur, can usually be treated by periodic dilatation under general anaesthesia. Occasionally, however, conservative treatment is insufficient, and patients require long-term feeding via a gastrostomy or jejunostomy tube. We describe the case of a man with an anastamotic stricture post-pharyngectomy who underwent insertion of a nitinol stent across the stricture for treatment of dysphagia. The patient’s swallowing was significantly improved in the short-term, however, ultimately, florid granulation tissue formation led to obstruction of the stent and a disappointing long-term result. This, to our knowledge, is the first documentation of the use of a stent to treat dysphagia in a patient post-laryngectomy or pharyngolaryngectomy.
