Rare Situation

Diagnostic and surgical difficulties were presented in case of a giant mass, found incidentally, in a 65-year-old healthy and asymptomatic man. The patient underwent different diagnostic procedures. Surgery was the treatment of choice. A combination of both open technique and videothoracoscopy to reduce the risk of seeding, pending a certain diagnosis, was resolutive. The postoperative period and recovery time were uneventful. The patient was discharged on the 5th postoperative day. The histological diagnosis was benign schwannoma. There are different aspects to think about, based also on the experience of each center. According to our experience, this is a rare situation; the combined surgical techniques to control the vascular risk and tissue infiltration of the mass seemed to us the approach of choice.

AbstractDislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) usually occurs associated with a distal radius fracture. An isolated dislocation, without a radius fracture, is a rare situation.We present a case of neglected isolated DRUJ dislocation in a 30-year-old manual laborer. The treatment was performed 4 months after the initial injury. Open reduction and fixation were performed. This resulted in a stable, pain-free joint, and the patient resumed his previous work.Surgical techniques of foveal reattachment and dorsal capsuloplasty have been described for chronic DRUJ instability. An isolated and dislocated DRUJ is an uncommon injury that may be misdiagnosed and initially mistreated. There haven't been many reports in the literature of a case such as this.

Rare Congenital Anomaly

Congenital metacarpal synostosis is a rare congenital anomaly in the hand, especially in our area. There were several reports of surgical techniques for correction deformities. We report this rare condition in our hospital and treatment with the metacarpal osteotomy and double bone blocks technique of grafting.

Calcific Periarthritis

ABSTRACT Acute calcific periarthritis (ACP) is an unusual cause of monoarticular pain characterised by the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite in the peri-articular and intra-articular tissues. Although the most commonly affected joint is the shoulder, other joints may be involved, including the wrist. This case report describes a 57-year-old female presenting with wrist pain and swelling associated with amorphous calcification overlying the lunate. The patient improved with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and splinting. Clinician awareness of the clinical presentation and radiographic features of ACP is important to reduce unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures such as joint aspiration.

SummarySkin and shell diseases in aquatic turtles are often associated with several underlying causes. The presented case report describes aetiology including differential diagnoses, diagnostic procedures and therapy of a soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) suffering from a septicaemic ulcerative dermatitis. Central aspect hereby is the positive curing effect of laser therapy on skin and shell lesions.

Background. Any large missing part of the ureter may be replaced by transureteroureterostomy, psoas hitch, Boari flap, nephrectomy, renal autotransplanation or by the implementation of an intestinal graft. Case report. A patient with a defect of the lumbal- pelvic portion of the right ureter, after the management of a penetrating and perforating gun shot wound was presented. The missing part of the ureter was successfully replaced with an appendix. The technique of uretero-transappendixcystoneostomy complete with a Boari flap and a psoas hitch was used. Conclusion. By the use of an original combination of surgical techniques, a large defect of the ureter and the defect of the bladder, as well as the preservation of the renal function was achieved in a more successful manner.

Aims: Penile cancer is an uncommon malignancy in Western countries. There are known premalignant lesions that can progress to invasive penile cancer, namely carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the glans. Treatment options for this disease include topical chemotherapy and laser ablation, but the published literature demonstrates limited efficacy for these approaches. Surgical techniques with penile-preserving approaches are performed with the goal of removing the entire tumor and preserving as much of penis as possible. There are no large, randomized studies comparing treatment options for these lesions, and reports concerning the surgical approaches are scarce. Presentation of Case: In this study, we present a case report of a patient with CIS of the glans penis surgically treated with glans resurfacing. Discussion and Conclusions: There were no complications during follow-up, and after 20 months, the patient has no evidence of disease recurrence, has preserved urinary and erectile functions and is currently satisfied with the cosmetic appearance. CIS treatment with glans resurfacing allows the maintenance penile length and function with a good aesthetic result without compromising oncologic control. This approach also allows an accurate staging of the disease and assessment of the treatment efficacy.

<p><strong>Objective. </strong>We present a case of relapsing tumefactive demyelination in a young female patient, that posed a real diagnostic challenge, with a heterogeneous clinical picture, atypical for multiple sclerosis (MS) presentation, and neuroradiological manifestations with a high suspicion of neoplastic diseases.</p><p><strong>Case Report</strong>. An 18-year old female patient presented to our Neurosurgical Out-patients’ Clinic with symptoms atypical for multiple sclerosis, unremarkable neurological deficit, one tumefactive lesion on MRI, followed by relapse and another two lesions within a period of six months. We decided to perform biopsy of the tumefactive lesion with compressive effect. Serological and clinical data were negative for MS, and the patient did not respond well to corticosteroid therapy. Fresh frozen tumor tissue aroused a strong suspicion of gemistocytic astrocytoma, so total resection was done, but the definitive pathohistological examination confirmed tumefactive demyelination.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>. For clinicians, it is important to consider demyelinating disease in the differential diagnosis of a tumorlike lesion of the central nervous system, in order to avoid invasive and potentially harmful diagnostic procedures, especially in younger patients.</p>
