Case summary A 6-month-old female Bengal cat was referred for a suspected vegetal foreign body (FB) in the mid-stroma of the right cornea. A small dark linear FB was identified in the dorsal aspect of the cornea, with associated cell infiltrate. Ophthalmic examination was otherwise normal, with no inflammatory reaction of the anterior uvea, and no abnormalities of the lens or fundus. Surgical removal was performed under general anesthesia. The FB, as observed under an optic microscope, was a worker bee stinger without the venom sac. Medical treatment consisted of topical and systemic antibiotics and steroids, and topical administration of atropine. Follow-up was uneventful. Relevance and novel information Ocular bee stings have been described in humans, with several consequences ranging from mild conjunctivitis to severe lesions affecting the cornea, iris, lens and retina. Most severely affected cases have been observed when the venom sac was found with the stinger, with a likely greater amount of venom being delivered into the ocular structures. The relatively benign presentation of this case was probably due to the lack of the venom sac within the bee sting. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a corneal bee sting in a cat.

Pilomatricoma is a rare, benign skin tumour arising from the hair matrix. The usual locations are the head and neck. Localization in the lower limbs is exceptional. The diagnosis of certainty is histological. Treatment is complete surgical removal to avoid recurrence. We report in this article the case of a rare localization of a pilomatricoma on the right leg, in a 25-year-old patient operated with complete surgical removal. The postoperative course was simple and without recurrence after 2 months of follow-up.

Background: Mandibular tori are a rare cause of difficult direct visualization of the upper aerodigestive tract. In the setting of aerodigestive tract pathology necessitating direct visualization, removal of mandibular tori may be required to facilitate treatment. Methods: In the first case, large bilateral symmetric mandibular tori were removed to facilitate access to the anterior commissure and removal of a T1 glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In the second case, large bilateral mandibular tori were removed to access a markedly exophytic SCC in the right vallecula. Subsequently, the tumor was removed with robotic assistance with excellent exposure. Results: Both patients were free of recurrence at last follow-up. Conclusion: Mandibular tori are an uncommon cause of difficult direct laryngoscopy. In situations that require direct visualization of the anterior commissure or base of tongue for diagnosis and management of lesions, surgical removal of the tori may be required as in the cases presented here.

Dear Editor,   Papillomas are primary benign epithelial neoplasms producing finger–like projections that typically cover fibrous stalks.1 The term Inverted Papilloma (IP) describes the endophytic projection of epithelium into the stroma. Also known as Schneiderian papillomas, IPs predominantly affect males in the 6th decade.2 They usually arise from the lateral nasal wall and seldom involve the frontal or sphenoid sinuses.2 The frequency of IP on the nasal septum is even less.3 We report a case of IP of the nasal septum and the role of endoscopic resection of the IP without any sign of recurrence.   CASE REPORT A 52-year-old man who was a chronic smoker and worked as a cook presented with a 1-year history of progressively worsening unilateral nasal blockage and hyposmia. Rigid nasoendoscopy revealed a reddish grape-like mass filling the right nasal cavity. The mass extended posteriorly to the posterior nasal space and crossed to the left side and had a broad-based attachment to the posterosuperior part of the nasal septum. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed a heterogeneously-enhanced soft tissue density mass in the right nasal cavity and a soft tissue density in the right ethmoid and sphenoid sinus most likely representing retained secretions. The patient underwent endoscopic excision of the mass using Integrated Power Console (IPC®) system coupled to Straightshot® M4 microdebrider (Medtronic, Minneapolis MN, USA) under general anaesthesia. After induction, each nostril was packed with five rayon neuro-patties (Ray-cot®, American Surgical Company, Lynn MA, USA) soaked with 2mls cocaine 10%, 2mls adrenaline 1:1000 and 6mls of water, carefully placed along the septum, floor and turbinate region. This method reduces the bleeding significantly and prevents blood from impairing the endoscopic view. During the operation, a septal perforation was found at the origin of the mass. No further removal of nasal septum was performed. Histopathological examination (HPE) confirmed the diagnosis of Inverted Papilloma. He has been under our follow-up for the past 5 years and remains well and symptom-free with no evidence of recurrence detected on endoscopic examination.   DISCUSSION Inverted Papilloma (IP) poses many clinical, pathological and even management challenges. There are various surgical techniques advocated for treating IP. Radical transfacial approaches like lateral rhinotomy, minimally invasive endoscopic techniques and even midfacial degloving procedures are among some of the surgical techniques  advocated.4 Most authors agree that complete surgical removal is the hallmark in treating IP.1, 2, 4, 5 Traditionally, en bloc excision of the lateral nasal wall via lateral rhinotomy approach is the standard surgical option for IP arising from the lateral nasal wall. This approach provides good access to the tumor. Despite achieving complete surgical removal, IP tends to recur.1 Recurrence rates of IP when treated surgically are as high as 71%.2 Persistent disease is unacceptable especially with the possibility of malignant transformation.1, 2 It is reported that malignancy in IP is particularly high at 10 to 15%.1                With regard IP of the  nasal septum, Lawson et al. in 1995 reported 5 of 112 IP patients (4%) with isolated septal lesions that were treated by septectomy.6 Our patient underwent transnasal endoscopic resection of the tumor without further need of posterior septectomy. The tumor was removed using a microdebrider. Using the microdebrider for septal surgery usually involves a lateral (PNS and nasal cavity) to medial (septum) process, and posterior inferior to anterior superior shaving technique, also minimizes blood from impairing the endoscopic view. Any visible tumor at the margins was also removed. Unlike conventional polypectomy, complete removal of the tumor and sterilization of the margins is the hallmark in treating IP. Removal of IP without sterilization of the margins should be avoided. Sterilization of the margin is not necessarily by microdebrider only;  other authors have reported debulking tumor completely and sterilizing the margins and underlying bone using a diamond burr.5               Transnasal endoscopic surgery avoided aggressive surgery and facial scarring in this patient. We observed no evidence of recurrence on follow up to date using this method. Although this tumor has the ability to destroy bone, tends to recur, and is associated with malignancy, we demonstrated that transnasal endoscopic resection of IP limited to nasal septum may be safely performed without the need for further septectomy. However, we do not advocate this technique in cases of large tumor or when malignancy is suspected. Endoscopic surgery would not adequately visualize the whole tumor and risk recurrence of tumor.2 Larger series and better study design are required to support our observation and establish an acceptable and safe technique indicated for IP on the nasal septum.

Introduction. Neuroblastoma is the most common malignant embryonic extracranial solid tumor in childhood having a high mortality rate. While treating neuroblastoma, it is extremely important to follow international protocols with their staging systems and groups of risk. Surgical treatment is a compulsory approach, but in some cases it is extremely difficult, and it involves significant risks. However, in some cases, radical removal of the tumor can cure patients without chemotherapy.Material and methods. The article presents a clinical case of 14-month-old child with neuroblastoma of stage 3 and difficult anatomical location after 2 courses of polychemotherapy by NB-2004 protocol. The child had subradical resection of an extensive tumor in the retroperitoneal space and nephrectomy on the right. The authors also describe specific moments during surgery, problems which their faced during child’s treatment as well as follow-up examinations in the postoperative period.Results. Follow-up examinations did not reveal any signs of disease recurrence. Catamnesis lasted for 56 months. The child is in a good state; she is active, attends a nursery school.Conclusion. The discussed case demonstrates that a successful radical surgical removal of neuroblastoma of difficult anatomic location may have good outcomes without adjuvant postoperative therapy.

A 75-year-old woman presented with a ganglion-like nodule on the dorsal aspect of the right foot. A 2.5 × 1.5 cm, saccular and malleable tumor, that was in continuity with the dorsal venous arch, was completely resected. It was characterized by a diffuse intramural and circumferential, low grade, malignant, smooth muscle proliferation with an aneurysmal-like luminal space. No endoluminal or periadventitial invasive neoplastic component was present. The patient had no evidence of disease at 58-month follow-up. This is the first reported case of venous leiomyosarcoma in the foot. Furthermore, the intramural confinement of neoplastic growth is a unique observation.

Objective Surgical treatment of a mesothelial cyst of the uterine round ligament (MCURL), an uncommon entity, has been rarely documented. In this article, we present our experience with excision of MCURLs. Methods The records of all female patients undergoing surgical removal of a groin mass in our department from March 2013 to November 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic information, clinical data, and follow-up outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results Among 298 women who underwent groin hernia repair, 17 (5.7%) had MCURLs. Of these 17 patients, 13 were aged 30 to 45 years and 15 had a normal body mass index (18.5–23.9 kg/m2). MCURLs occurred predominantly on the right side (11/17). Approximately half of the patients (9/17) were preoperatively misdiagnosed with inguinal hernias. Approximately 70% (12/17) of the lesions were localized medially to the inner ring of the inguinal canal and excised by a laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) procedure alone. Five patients required open surgery following the TAPP procedure because the cyst extended distally beyond the inner ring. No recurrence was noted during the entire follow-up period. Conclusion Most MCURLs were localized medially to the inner ring of the inguinal canal and could be excised by a TAPP procedure.

Submandibular Gland Excision

ResumoSialolitos são estruturas calcificadas, que se desenvolvem no interior do sistema ductal salivar em decorrência da deposição de sais de cálcio ao redor de um acúmulo de restos orgânicos no lúmen do ducto glandular. Acometem mais frequentemente a glândula submandibular e são a causa mais comum de inflamações agudas ou crônicas nas glândulas salivares maiores. São mais frequentes em pacientes de 30 a 40 anos e duas vezes mais em homens do que em mulheres. Os sintomas geralmente se apresentam com o aumento da glândula salivar gerando tumefação local, febre, disfagia e dor. O diagnóstico correto envolve exame clínico, inspeção, palpação, manipulação da glândula e exames radiográficos. Podem ser evidenciados por radiografias convencionais, tomografia computadorizada, ressonância magnética, ultrassonografia, cintilografia, sialoendoscopia e sialografia. O tratamento inclui a eliminação espontânea mediante orientações ou uso de medicamentos sialogogos, ou a remoção cirúrgica do sialolito, sendo necessária, em alguns casos, a exérese da própria glândula. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar o caso clínico do paciente G.L.C, 70 anos de idade, sexo masculino, que compareceu ao Serviço de Cirurgia Oral e Maxilofacial do Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado, com queixa principal de dor e aumento de volume. Apresentava laudo de ultrassonografia evidenciando a presença de 3 cálculos medindo 10mm, 9mm e 8mm em glândula Submandibular direita. O paciente foi submetido à procedimento cirúrgico sob anestesia geral para exérese da glândula Submandibular que correu sem intercorrências.  O paciente segue em acompanhamento pós operatório de 1 ano com boa evolução e sem sintomatologia.Palavras-chave: sialolito; glândula submandibular; cirurgia oral e maxilofacial.AbstractSialolites are calcified structures that develop within the salivary duct system due to the deposition of calcium salts around an accumulation of organic debris in the lumen of the glandular duct. They most often affect the Submandibular gland and are the most common cause of acute or chronic inflammation in the larger salivary glands. They are more common in patients aged 30 to 40 years and twice as often in men than in women. Symptoms usually present with enlargement of the salivary gland leading to local swelling, fever, dysphagia and pain. The correct diagnosis involves clinical examination, inspection, palpation, manipulation of the gland and radiographic examinations. They can be evidenced by conventional radiographs, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, scintigraphy, sialendoscopy and sialography. Treatment includes spontaneous elimination through guidance or use of sialogogues, or surgical removal of the sialolith, and in some cases the removal of the gland itself is necessary. This paper aims to report the clinical case of patient G.L.C, 70 years old, male, who attended the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service of the Federal Hospital of the State Servants, with the main complaint of pain and swelling. He presented ultrasound report showing the presence of 3 calculi measuring 10mm, 9mm and 8mm in the right Submandibular gland. The patient underwent a surgical procedure under general anesthesia for submandibular gland excision that ran uneventfully. The patient follows a 1-year postoperative follow-up with good evolution and no symptomsKeywords: sialolite; submandibular gland; oral and maxillofacial surgery.

A 72-year-old woman with a history of removal of a right hemimandibular keratocyst 10 years ago was referred to our attention for a large swelling of the right cheek. The orthopantomography and the CT scan showed a huge osteolytic area of the right mandibular ramus and angle. The patient’s refusal to resection and reconstruction with a free flap pushed us towards a conservative treatment. The high probability of a iatrogenic mandibular fracture during and after surgery required the design of a customised titanium plate to be preliminary placed through cervical incision along the posterior border of the mandible. The patient successfully underwent the surgical positioning of the customised plate and subsequent removal of the keratocyst. She was discharged fit and well 5 days after surgery. She did not experience any infections, pathological fractures or relapse in the 6-month follow-up.

Displaced dental implants into the maxillary sinus are relatively rare. Treatment consists of implant surgical removal. Objective: To present two case reports of the removal of implants displaced into maxillary sinus by a conservative technique. Case report: Report 1: A 44-year-old female sought for treatment complaining about headaches and recurrent sinusitis. In the anamnesis she reported she had been undergone placement of nine maxillary implants, fifteen years ago, with total loss of those elements. At the imaging exams it was possible to observe two displaced implants into the bilateral maxillary sinus, besides radiopaque image on the left maxillary sinus, compatible with maxillary sinusitis. Based on this data, the proposed treatment plan was the removal of the displaced implants through Caldwell Luc approach and sinusotomy in the left side, under general anesthesia. The patient has a follow-up of 6 months without complaints. Report 2: A 42-year-old male was referred to the Surgery and Maxillofacial Traumatology Department for implant removal from the right maxillary sinus. Patient underwent implant installation in the area around 9 months ago. In the computarized tomography it was possible to diagnose the implant migration into the right maxillary sinus. the proposed treatment plan was the removal of the displaced implant via Caldwell Luc Access by repositioning the bony window and sinusotomy. Results: Patient has been with no complaints at 30 days after surgery. Conclusion: The technique has been shown to be effective in treating the condition.
