Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is a rare condition, characterized by the idiopathic deposition of calcium in the scrotal dermis leading to the formation of a single nodule or multiple nodules of different sizes. Surgical excision of the nodules reduces symptoms and improves cosmesis. We present a case of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis that had an en bloc excision of scrotal skin nodules and primary closure of the scrotal skin. Handling each hemiscrotum as a separate entity and preserving the median raphe with its uninvolved skin improved the cosmesis. Reported outcomes of surgery were satisfactory with no postoperative complications. At 30 months of follow-up, the residual scrotal skin had regained its laxity and the scrotum its normal configuration. There is the risk of recurrence of the calcific nodules post excision, but these may be smaller in size and with regained scrotal configuration that could be amenable to excision with further preservation of the native scrotal skin.

AbstractEndoscopic ampullectomy offers a minimally invasive method of effectively treating non-invasive neoplasms of the ampulla of Vater and surrounding peri-ampullary region with high success and relative safety. These lesions would otherwise require surgical intervention, including pancreatico-duodenectomy. However, major complications may occur and a careful assessment of the patients comorbidities and their ability to tolerate adverse events needs to be factored into the treatment decision. Careful staging, often multi-modality is required, particularly for extensive lesions. Complete en-bloc excision of the entire neoplasm should be the goal with conventional papillary adenomas. Large lesions with extra-papillary extension currently require extended piecemeal excision, however with meticulous technique, recurrence is uncommon in longterm follow up.

Introduction: Osteochondroma are benign tumors which arise from aberrant cartilage nodules within the periosteum. They can be either pedunculated or sessile and are more common in the extremities and rarely seen in spine. En-bloc excision is the preferred treatment. Case Report: We present a case of 20 year female, who came with a swelling and pain in lower back for two years which was diagnosed to be thoracic vertebra(D11) osteochondroma on x-ray and computed tomography. Excision biopsy was done and confirmed it to be osteochondroma. There has been no recurrence even after 16 months of follow up. Conclusion: Although rare, osteochondroma of the vertebra should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis when evaluating mass in spine. En bloc excision should be performed.

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation, or Nora's lesion, is a unique bony lesion that generally originates from the small bones of the hands and feet in young adults. We report a case of a bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation originating from the medial sesamoid of the first toe that was managed surgically by en bloc excision. At 5-year follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence.

Spinal melanocytomas are rare pigmented tumors of the central nervous system commonly affecting females in their fifth decades. It has been reported in various locations with intradural intramedullary being the rarest. Patients can present with varied symptomatology from mild backache to frank myelopathy. Here we report a case of 34-year-old man with no medical comorbidities with vague backache associated with numbness of anterior aspect of right thigh for 1 year aggravated by activities and relieved by rest. His neurologic examination revealed normal power and sensation in both lower limbs except for decreased temperature sensation in right L2 dermatome. MRI of dorsolumbar spine revealed a well-defined lesion that was hyperintense in T1- and hypointense in T2-weighted image at D11–12 region with uniform bright enhancement in gadolinium-enhanced T1 image. The patient underwent laminectomy of D11 and D12, and an en bloc excision was done. Diagnosis of primary intradural intramedullary melanocytoma was made from histopathologic examination. Spinal melanocytomas should be considered as a differential diagnosis for intradural space-occupying lesions. MRI remains the investigation of choice for diagnosis, but histopathologic examination is required to confirm and differentiate from other pigmented tumors and malignant melanomas. Total surgical excision of the tumor remains the standard treatment with radiotherapy reserved for cases of incomplete excision and recurrences.

Background: Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) is the traditional technique of choice for endoscopically suspected bladder tumours. Cold En Bloc Excision (CEBE) using novel Zedd scissors is proposed for endoscopic treatment of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The aim of this study was to evaluate feasibility and safety of CEBE of bladder tumours using Zedd scissors. Methods: A pilot prospective study of patients who underwent a CEBE of suspicious bladder tumours using Zedd scissors was conducted. A total of 23 patients underwent CEBE for suspected bladder tumours using Zedd scissors. New and recurrent tumours <3 cm were included in the study. The outcome measures were the presence of detrusor muscle (DM) and obturator nerve reflex (ONR), bladder perforation rates, specimen cautery artefacts, recurrence rates and complication rates. The mean age was 64 years ± 10.41 (range: 49–83 years). The median follow up was 4 months (range 1–9 months). The mean tumour size was 1.8 cm ± 0.40 (range: 0.8–2.6 cm). Tumours were located in the lateral wall ( n = 11), dome ( n = 2), posterior wall ( n = 6), trigone ( n = 2), anterior wall ( n = 4) and the junction of lateral and posterior wall ( n = 4). Results: There was no ONR or bladder perforation and none of the patients had any complications. DM was present in 21 patients (91%). There was no tumour identified at the circumferential margins. There was no cautery artefact reported in any case. No patients had a recurrence at first follow up cystoscopy and two patients had out of field recurrence at subsequent cystoscopies. Conclusion: CEBE with Zedd scissors is a promising en bloc excision technique for bladder tumour. It is a safe and feasible for excision of tumours less than 3 cm. The early oncological outcomes are comparable with existing en bloc resection techniques (ERBT) for NMIBC.

Sporadic Tumour

Giant genital warts (GGW) represent a rare form of sexually transmitted disease caused by the human papillomavirus, arising more frequently in the vulvar and perianal regions as large exophytic cauliflower-like mass. Estimated rate of recurrence is 60 to 66%, while malignant transformation is possible and it has been reported in 30 to 56% of cases. A 45- years-old woman was admitted to our Structure of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Siena, Italy with an extensive cauliflower- like masses diffused on vulvar and perianal region. The patient was treated in general anaesthesia, with a wide en bloc excision up to free clinical edges and immediate reconstruction of the vulvar continuity. Buschke Lowenstein tumour or giant genital warts is a sporadic tumour with an elevate local recurrence rate. In some cases, surgery can be very difficult and it must be associated to other strategies. An accurate follow-up is always necessary

Glomus tumor is a rare condition and constitutes only 1 % of all soft tissue tumor of body. Glomus tumor is familiar for its unusual presentation and long standing symptoms due to delay in diagnosis. Authors have presented the clinical behavior and treatment of 7 patients with subungual soft tissue mass. Following surgical excision, all patients cured of symptoms, at the end of follow up, no recurrence occurred; post operative nail deformity was insignificant.
