Common Location

Abstract Objective: The posterior mediastinum is a common location for benign neurogenic tumors. They are frequently asymptomatic but can present with local compressive or neurological symptoms. Methods: Thoracoscopy is used increasingly over posterolateral thoracotomy for the removal of these lesions. Results: Complete resection of these tumors through a thoracoscopic approach is possible in most cases, but dumbbell tumors present as special challenges, which require a combined thoracoscopic and open posterior approach. Conclusion: In this article, we outline the technique of thoracoscopic resection of paraspinal neurogenic tumors through an operative video and a review of the literature to summarize the surgical outcomes of patients with these lesions.

Malignant Changes

A brief review of the literature referring to intrathoracic nerve tumors in children is presented. The neurogenic tumors have an expected incidence of malignancy of about 40%. Four case histories are reported in which neurogenic tumors of the posterior mediastinum were removed with apparent cure. Only one of these children had objective or subjective signs which could be attributed to their neoplasms. All of the neoplasms were benign. Prompt thoracotomy is advocated in the child with a suspected neurogenic tumor of the mediastinum. Periods of observation, procrastination and roentgen therapy are to be condemned for it is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty which tumor will or already has undergone malignant changes. A brief discussion of the operative management and complications is presented.

Review Of The Literature

Nodular fasciitis is a rare disease, and its diagnosis is difficult. We present a case report of a seven-year-old child with progredient swelling of the left pectoralis muscle three weeks after trauma. After histopathological diagnosis, we performed complete resection. Normally, a conservative approach with regular follow-up is regarded as appropriate since nodular fasciitis does have the capability to regress spontaneously. Since recent publications indicate the possibility of malignant transformation, the complete primary resection also has to be discussed as therapy of choice.

Histological Features

Synovial sarcoma (SS) represents about 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It is believed that its origin would be found in cells that are related neither to ultrastructural nor to histological features of the synovial tissue. Head and neck is very rarely affected, with the lower extremities being most frequent. Complete resection with or without radiotherapy and chemotherapy is currently considered the best available therapy. This time we present the case of a patient with SS located in the infratemporal fossa, its diagnosis, treatment and evolution. According to our knowledge it is the first reported case in South America.

Primary osteosarcomas of the bladder account for about 0.04% ofbladder neoplasms. Most of the patients in the literature expiredwithin 6 months and, in almost all of the cases in the literature,radical cystectomy with postoperative chemotherapy was thetreatment choice. A 79-year-old gentleman presented with grosshematuria. Cystoscopy demonstrated a 2- to 3-cm tumour along thelateral wall of the bladder. The tumour was resected incompletelyvia initial transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT), anda second TURBT was subsequently performed to fully resect theresidual mass. Surgical pathology from these 2 resections revealedosteosarcoma with invasion into the muscularis propria. Acystoprostatectomy was performed and final pathologic specimenrevealed high-grade CIS without evidence of residual osteosarcoma.Postoperatively, the patient did not receive chemotherapy orradiation and currently remains disease-free 2 years post-radicalcystectomy. Only 33 well-documented cases of primary osteosarcomaof the bladder have been reported to date. However, thereare only 3 cases in which TURBT resulted in complete resection.

Introduction: Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma is often misdiagnosed. It may be more common than noted in the literature. We present an unusual case of paediatric head and neck fibrosarcoma. Methods: Restrospective case report and literature review. Results: We report the surgical management of a fibrosarcoma of the tongue in an 8-month-old child where neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was unsuccessful. Conclusion: Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment, in the head and neck region where critical structures are close to the tumour, complete resection with wide margins can be difficult. The role of chemotherapy is yet to be defined.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Robotic surgery systems were introduced recently with the objective of enhancing the dexterity and view during procedures that use a videoscope. The first case report of robot-assisted thoracoscopic removal of a benign neurogenic tumor in the thorax is presented. METHODS A 46-year-old woman presented with a history of paravertebral pain. A chest x-ray revealed a left paravertebral mass. A magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed a well-encapsulated mass that was suspected to be a neuroma at the level of T8–T9, separate from vascular structures, without extension in the foramina, and without a spinal canal component. RESULTS A left robot-assisted thoracoscopic resection of the tumor was performed. After placement of six trocars, the tumor was carefully dissected and removed through one of the trocar openings. The histopathological findings revealed an ancient schwannoma. CONCLUSION This case report demonstrates the feasibility of robot-assisted thoracoscopic extirpation of a thoracic neurogenic tumor. Robot-assisted surgery may prove to be of additional value in challenging thoracoscopic surgery, such as the delicate surgical removal of benign neurogenic tumors, because of the support in manipulation and visualization during videoscopic interventions.

Abstract A 67-year-old man with a 1 1/2;-month history of spastic paraparesis caused by a dorsal intradural disc herniation underwent surgical treatment via a posterior approach. Dorsal herniated discs are rare, and intradural dorsal disc herniations are even more infrequent. Including this case, the medical literature reviewed describes only four such cases.
