In this study, twenty cases of severe hidradenitis suppurativa are reported, mainly in non-white people and in axillary areas. Wide surgical excision has offered good results, although relapses have occurred at variable intervals in the follow-up period.

AbstractHaemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare vascular tumour produced by proliferation of pericytes. One hundred and thirty-three cases of HPC have been reported in the nose and the paranasal sinuses. We present two more cases. Wide surgical excision via lateral rhinotomy, midfacial degloving, or endonasal removal is the treatment of choice. Radiotherapy has been used post-operatively in cases of incomplete removal. Life-long follow-up is required to evaluate local recurrence and late metastases.

Multicentre Retrospective Study

Objectives The aim of this multicentre retrospective study was to review the clinical data, outcomes and histopathological features of cats that had been treated for ocular surface dermoids. Methods Thirteen cats from various private practices in France with a clinical diagnosis of ocular surface dermoid were included in the study. Results The mean age of the study population at the time of diagnosis was 5 months. There were nine males and four females. Three different breeds were, including: domestic shorthair (n = 7), Birman (n = 4) and Havana Brown (n = 2). Two of the four Birmans were related (same sire). The two Havana Browns were also related (same sire). All of the dermoids were unilateral. Five of the dermoids were strictly conjunctival. Four affected both the conjunctiva and the cornea. Three affected both the conjunctiva and the eyelid, and one was strictly corneal. They were located in various positions: temporal (n = 9), inferonasal (n = 1), dorsonasal (n = 1) and dorsotemporal (n = 1). The last dermoid was heterogeneous and involved the nasal, dorsal and temporal quadrants. Concurrent eye diseases were observed in five patients: four cats exhibited associated eyelid agenesis and one cat exhibited persistent iris-to-iris pupillary membranes. Ten dermoids were surgically excised with no recurrences. Surgery was not performed for three cats: one cat died a few days after diagnosis and two cats were lost to follow-up after initial presentation. Conclusions and relevance Ocular surface dermoids are a rare condition in cats that can be treated successfully by surgical excision. Although our study reports only a small number of cases, the observation of ocular surface dermoids in two related cats in two different breeds indicates that genetic transmission is likely.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explore the curative effect of open surgical excision and endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RA) in the treatment of piriform fossa fistula (PSF). Methods: Retrospective study of 80 cases of PSF in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Shanghai Children’s Hospital, from June 2009 to June 2017. Results: In this series, there were 43 males and 37 females, and the mean age was 5.2 years (17 days to 12 years). Surgical excision was performed for 62 patients. Radiofrequency ablation was performed for 18 patients. Six cases of postoperative temporary hoarseness occurred, and the hoarseness rates were not significantly different between the excision and RA groups (6.4% vs 11.1%, respectively, P = .88). Two cases of temporary neck abscess occurred in the RA group. After the mean follow-up period of 3.1 years (1-8 years), no recurrence was found between the excision and RA groups. Conclusions: The curative effect of excision and RA for PSF is not significantly different; each of the 2 methods has its advantages and disadvantages. However, RA for PSF has the merit of being minimally invasive, easy to operate, and safe; this procedure seems to be more suitable in the clinic.

Open Excision

The main options for the treatment of wrist ganglia are reassurance, aspiration, arthroscopic resection and open excision. Variations within each option have been described and the literature is clouded by widespread variability in the results reported. We present the results of our own long-term retrospective study, review the literature and question the surgical risks and demands placed on healthcare resources. A retrospective review of the surgical results of dorsal and volar wrist ganglia excision between January 1998 and March 2005 was undertaken at a single institution. Of the 152 patients in this consecutive series, 117 (77%) patients responded to a telephone questionnaire. The mean length of follow-up in this series of 117 patients was 4.2 years (range 1.5-8.7 years). The overall recurrence rate following excision of all wrist ganglia in this series was 41.8 %. When looking just at volar ganglia, the risk of recurrence is higher at 46.8%. Should the ganglion recur, the risk of developing a moderate to severely tender scar is 34.6% and the risk of developing an unsightly scar is 8.2%. This study questions the effectiveness of surgical excision in the treatment of wrist ganglia when performed by a mixture of surgeons in that the recurrence rates are very similar to the rates seen in studies that merely observe or aspirate wrist ganglia. We propose that for symptomatic ganglia, specialists in hand surgery may be more appropriate at treating such a pathology.
