Background: Endobronchial metastasis is   an   infrequent secondary location of an extra thoracic cancer. Colorectal cancer is one of the most affected primary tumours. Case presentation:  We report the clinical case of a patient who has had endobronchial metastasis of a adenocarcinoma of the colon, confirmed by mass biopsy. Surgical treatment was indicated after chemotherapy cures. The patient is currently asymptomatic 33 months after treatment. Conclusion: Endobronchial metastasis is a rare entity, occurring after years of primary disease progression. Surgery allows for prolonged survival and disease control.

Background: Superior vena cava (SVC) aneurysm is a rare clinical disease. Only around 50 cases have been reported in the medical literature. Case presentation: We report a 22-year-old man with SVC aneurysm with cardiac arrest as the first symptom accompanied by typical superior vena cava syndrome. Conclusion: We suggest that patients with giant SVC aneurysm should avoid sudden changes in posture, and that surgical treatment should be implemented urgently.

688 Background: Liver is typical place for metastasis for patients with colorectal carcinoma. During the period of disease, 50% of patients with colorectal carcinoma will get liver metastases, 20% of the will have synchronous and 30% metachronous. Surgical resection is modality of choice in treatment for liver metastases in colorectal carcinoma. Applying neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases, which are primarily nonresectable or potentially resectable, it is possible to transform in resectable state. The goal of treatment is R0 liver resection and putting the patient in the NED stage of disease. Methods: All patients received protocol for potentially resectable metastase- FOLFOX-bevacizumab. The assessment was conducted on the basis of angioCT and NMR. With all patients liver resection procedures and RFA were applied. Results: During the period from June 2007 to December 2009 in 40 patients with nonresectable or potentially resectable metastases the neoadjuvant HT FOLFOX-bevacizumab was applied on average for three months. The patients were operated 6 weeks after the last application of bevacizumab, because of the possibility of intraoperative bleeding. The number of metastases ranged from 1 to 6. With 17 patients lobar resection was performed, and with 10 patients segmental resection was performed. With another 11 patients metastasectomy was performed, while RFA was performed with 2 patients. 3 years survival is 57.5%. Conclusions: By applying neoadjuvant HT and bevacizumab with patients suffering from colorectal cancer liver metastases as the only existing metastases, it is possible to significantly reduce metastases, and thereby resection as well. With this approach time without disease and survival are increased.

Colorectal carcinoma is a rare but potentially fatal disease complicating pregnancy. It occurs most frequently in patients aged 50, although some studies report increasing incidence in women under the age of 40. Diagnosis of colorectal cancer during pregnancy is usually made at an advanced stage due to unspecific symptoms. We will present a case of an acute abdomen during pregnancy due to colorectal carcinoma perforation in a 33-year-old patient in her 26th week of gestation. Because of her abdominal condition, left hemicolectomy with colostomy was performed. Two hours after surgery, the patient gave birth to a male child weighing 910 g with an Apgar score of 2/6. The pathohistological finding indicated adenocarcinoma of the colon in Dukes stage B.

Abdominal-perineal rectal amputation retains a well-defined place in the surgical treatment of rectal cancer, despite technical advances. The authors present the case of a 67-year-old patient who developed an entero-perineal fistula involving the last ileal loop, two years after an abdominal-perineal rectal amputation for a radiotreated rectal neoplasm. For surgical treatment of the fistula, right ileo-hemicolectomy with ileo-transverse anastomosis were performed. The fistulous tract is treated by soft field typhoon meshing in the same manner of treating the perineal wound after rectal amputation. The evolution is favorable, with the closure of the perineal wound, 6 weeks after surgery. The peculiarity of the case consists in the way of surgical solution. This case presentation is important due to the rarity of the ileo-perineal fistula after amputation of the rectum, as well as due to the particular way of surgical resolution.

Trichobezoar was first described by Baudomant in 1779. This rare entity consists of a compact mass of hair occupying the gastric cavity to a various extent. When the trichobezoar extends past the duodenum it is better referred to as Rapunzel Syndrome.It is only reliably diagnosed by CT scan and its size may require removal by open surgery.Albeit trichobezoars are well described in terms of surgical diagnostic and procedure, there are only but scarce reports on psychiatric literature. It is estimated that 30% of cases of trichotillophagia are of patients suffering from tricotillomania, and that 1% of those will eventually require surgical treatment.The authors report a clinical case of trichobezoar without known trichotillomania, and revise the existing relevant literature, focusing on psychiatric evaluation and management.

A clinical case of successful surgical treatment of a patient with a giant cervical retrosternal nontoxic goiter with severe cardiac pathology is presented. Thyroidectomy from cervical access without sternotomy was performed. At the follow-up examination 5 months after the operation, instrumental and clinical signs of disease relapse were not detected.
