Clinical characteristics, classification and surgical treatment of periductal mastitis

INTRODUCTION: Penoscrotal webbing (PSW) is an anomaly of penis and it includes penile and scrotal skin aberration. There are various surgical techniques for repairing PSW with different terminologies. Herein we present our surgical experience of Z-plasty procedure in these cases. METHODS: In this retrospective study, 5 patients with an average age of 46 months who were diagnosed and under follow-up for PSW, between June 2017 and May 2019 were included. Along with demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment and follow-up records were collected. RESULTS: Isolated PSW was observed in 4 patients and one patient had an associated megameatus intact prepuce (MMIP) of a hypospadias variant in addition to PSW. Circumcision and ventral prepuce reconstruction of the penis with the aid of "Z-plasty" solved problem and acceptable postoperative results were obtained. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: PSW is a condition that warrants surgical treatment. During the management of these children, in the case of suspicion of penile skin abnormality at the time of circumcision, it should be deferred and should be consulted to a pediatric surgeon or a pediatric urologist. Gentle surgical treatment is recommended for a favourable surgical and psychological result

ABSTRACTObjectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with trigeminal neuralgia referred to surgery in a center of reference.Methods: We evaluated the general characteristics of 395 patients with trigeminal neuralgia referred to neurosurgery as treatment. They corresponded to 2 samples of 1984 and 2004. The EDOFHC protocol (Orofacial Pain Questionnaire) and the medical profile were used.Results: In the first study (1984), with 290 patients, the higher prevalence was: women (57.3%), white (95.5%), with mean age of 62.5. The most affected trigeminal branches were the maxillary and / or mandibular branches (65.5%), and the right side was the most affected (57.6%). From the second study (2004), with 105 patients, 57.1% were women, 75.2% white, with a mean age of 60.8. The maxillary and / or mandibular branches (79.0%) and the right side (69.5%) were the most affected. Both samples had neurological abnormalities and systemic diseases (mainly cardiovascular).Conclusions: General characteristics of these patients were similar to other samples of trigeminal neuralgia. Neurological findings were also present in patients with no previous surgical treatment for TN. Hypertension and cardiac diseases were also frequent and make the monitoring of the patients during crises necessary. (Eur J Dent 2009;3:207-212)

Abstract Abstract 4856 Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors and survival outcomes of patients with gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Patients and methods: 162 patients with gastric DLBCL were evaluated retrospectively. Comparisons were made between patients of gastric DLBCL with component of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (DLBCL/MALT) and patients of gastric DLBCL without detectable MALT component (de novo DLBCL). Results: Results according to the distribution of sex, age, stage, performance status, and other clinical characteristics were similar between de novo DLBCL group and DLBCL/MALT group (p>0.05). The ratio of patients with the germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) subtype to non-GCB subtype did not differ significantly between the two groups (1:1.1 versus 1:1.6, p=0.319). However, the proportion of patients with the stage-modified international prognostic index (m-IPI) ≥2 was higher in DLBCL/MALT groups (18%) than taht in de novo DLBCL groups (34%) (p=0.026). In addition, the H. pylori infection rate was 75% in DLBCL/MALT versus 38% in de novo DLBCL (p<0.001). Patients with de novo DLBCL have better 5-year PFS and OS estimates than those DLBCL/MALT patients (p=0.037 and 0.019 for the 5-year PFS and OS estimates, respectively). Surgical treatment did not offer survival benefit when compared with chemotherapy (p=0.405 and 0.065 for the 5-year PFS and OS estimates, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that non-GCB classification and m-IPI≥2 were independently associated with shorter OS and advanced stage was independently associated with shorter PFS. Conclusion: Gastric DLBCL is a heterogeneous disease that included de novo DLBCL and DLBCL/MALT lymphoma. Compared with the former, the latter has a higher H. pylori infection rate. And what's more, the proportion of patients with m-IPI≥2 is higher in DLBCL/MALT groups. De novo DLBCL was associated with higher 5-year PFS and OS estimates. Non-surgical treatment should be a primary consideration for gastric DLBCL. Immunophenotype classification and m-IPI were the most reliable factors for OS, and advanced stage was for PFS.
