Ovarian cancer still represents one of the most aggressive malignancies affecting women worldwide. Unfortunately many patients are still diagnosed in an advanced stage of the disease when distal metastases are already present. When it comes to thoracic involvement in advanced stage ovarian cancer, this may develop via peritoneal, hematogenous and lymphatic route. This is a literature review of the most commonly seen involvements in ovarian cancer and of the most appropriate surgical procedures which might be performed in order to increase the rate of complete cytoreduction.

Most reported cases of middle ear adenoma (MEA) have focused on histopathology because MEA is usually diagnosed postoperatively, which is considered as a major setback. We focused on the surgical aspect of the disease to facilitate a preoperative diagnosis, resulting in prompt and proper treatment, without requiring a second stage of surgical treatment. In this report, we present the differential diagnoses in a 40-year-old man with MEA requiring surgical treatment. Preoperatively, the patient was suspected to have an MEA. An analysis of the surgical procedures in similar misdiagnosed tumors has enabled us to assess surgical procedures in cases wherein the preoperative diagnosis does not coincide with the postoperative histopathological results.

A intubação submentoniana (ISM), é uma derivação da intubação orotraqueal sem que o tubo passe pela oclusão dentária e lábios do paciente, tendo sua maior indicação a possibilidade da realização da ventilação mecânica do paciente durante um procedimento sob anestesia geral, sem que o tubo atrapalhe as manobras cirúrgicas que exijam um bloqueio maxilo-mandibular transoperatório associado à manipulação da região naso-órbito-etmoidal, evitando assim,a necessidade de uma traqueostomia eletiva. O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre a ISM, abordando suas indicações, contraindicações, vantagens e desvantagens na realização desta técnica. Onde apesar de simples, é fundamental que o profissional tenha o domínio da anatomia óssea e neurovascular da região e do exato posicionamento das glândulas sublinguais, submandibulares e seus ductos, a fim de evitar complicações trans e pós-operatórias imediatas ou tardias. Essa técnica é extremamente bem indicada para facilitar o tratamento cirúrgico de pacientes portadores de múltiplas fraturas da face, reduzindo riscos de complicações graves durante o manejo das vias aéreas pelo médico anestesiologista, sendo de realização rápida, segura e de baixa morbidade.Palavras-chave: intubação submentoniana, intubação endotraqueal, trauma de face.AbstractA submental intubation (ISM) is a derivation of orotracheal intubation without a tube or passes through the patient's dental occlusion and lips, with its greatest indication being the possibility of performing the patient's mechanical technique during the procedure under general anesthesia, without a tube disturbing maneuvers surgical procedures that require a maxillomandibular transoperative block associated with manipulation of the naso-abortion-ethmoidal region, thus avoiding the need for an elective tracheostomy. The objective of this work is to carry out a literature review on ISM, addressing its indications, contraindications, advantages and advantages in carrying out this technique. Where, although simple, it is essential that the professional has mastery of the bone and neurovascular anatomy of the region and the exact level of the sublingual, submandibular glands and their ducts, an end to prevent overflow and immediate or late postoperative. This technique is extremely well indicated to facilitate the surgical treatment of patients with multiple facial fractures, risks of serious complications during the management of the airways by the anesthesiologist, being fast and safe and safe and with low morbidity. Keywords: submental intubation, endotracheal intubation, face trauma.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies due to an aggressive biological behaviour of a tumor usually diagnosed in an advanced stage of the disease. Due to the fact that important differences in terms of survival have been observed between cases diagnosed in early stages when compared to those in FIGO stages III-IV, attention was focused on establishing which is the most appropriate laboratory diagnostic test which could help the clinician to diagnose and treat the disease in a less advanced stage. This is a literature review of the most frequently used tumor markers and scores used in ovarian cancer diagnostic and follow up.
