Purpose: The aim of this study was to report our experience in one casepre-operative embolization of high-flow peripheral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) using plug and push technique with low-density NBCA/LIPIODOL. Case presentation: A patient 26 years old man hospitalized at Hue Central Hospital, Vietnam with big pulsatile mass at right femoral above the knee. Doppler ultrasound showed a mass with high systolic and diastolic velocities. Patient felt discomfort and he has a desire to resolve this condition. Angiogram showed a large and high-flow arteriovenous malformation type IV according to Yakes classification. A multidisciplinary discussion was required between surgeon and interventionist because of the high risk of in-operative hemorrhage. Patient was treated with low-density NBCA/LIPIODOL 12.5% embolic agents by transarterial approach using plug and push technique before surgical excision. Results: Technical success was achieved in this patient. Complete devascularization was obtained and surgical excision was performed at 4 days after embolization procedure. Non-target NBCA/LIPIODOL embolization was not observed. Conclusions: Embolization using plug and push technique with low-density NBCA/LIPIODOL is an promising and interesting option for management of peripheral high-flow AVMs either pre-operatively or as a single treatment.

Abstract Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) embolization is considered as a promising option either its single treatment or in combination with surgery, and the use of low-density N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA)/Lipiodol is acceptable mixture agents but its application should be performed by experienced endovascular teams. We describe a successful case preoperative embolization of high-flow AVMs with low-density NBCA/Lipiodol. A 26-year-old male patient was hospitalized with a big pulsatile mass at the right thigh. Doppler ultrasound showed a mass with high systolic, and diastolic velocities coming from the right superficial femoral artery. Angiogram showed a large and high-flow AVM type IV, according to Yakes classification. Low-density NBCA/Lipiodol 12.5% were performed to obstruct all the nidus and feeding arteries. Extirpation surgery was implemented 4 days after the complete embolization procedure.

The authors describe the case of a 3-year-old boy with a giant congenital vertex hemangioma who underwent presurgical embolization with Onyx (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide) and Glubran (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate). This vascular tumor had no intracranial vascular communication as assessed by pre-embolization MRI and catheter angiography. All embolizations were performed by direct percutaneous injection. One week following the last embolization procedure the child presented with a 24-hour history of ataxia and extrapyramidal tremor. He was diagnosed with a possible immune-mediated reaction to Onyx or Glubran, which was treated with an urgent surgical excision of the hemangioma followed by intravenous administration of immunoglobulin and steroids. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of possible immune-mediated toxicity secondary to either Onyx or Glubran administration. This case highlights the need for awareness of potential toxic reactions to these embolic agents in the treatment of hemangiomas in the pediatric patient.

Abstract Cirsoid aneurysms (arteriovenous malformations [AVMs]) are Anomalous fistulous arteriovenous communications of scalp with ill-defined natural course that are rarely encountered in neurosurgery. Patients with AVM of the scalp present clinically with headache and either a small innocuous-looking subcutaneous scalp lump or a large, pulsatile mass with or without bruit, which has a propensity to massive hemorrhage. Complex vascular anatomy and interconnections and high shunt flow make their management difficult. We report a rare case of a 40-year-old man who presented with a swelling over his occipital region that progressively enlarged over the course of 6 years. Being high flow shunt surgical excision was attempted.

Abstract Background This case report demonstrates the value of IMPEDE-FX plugs in an embolization procedure of a false lumen of an infrarenal post-dissection aneurysm. Case presentation A 69-year-old patient was treated with mitral valve replacement, complicated by a Stanford type-A dissection. After 9 years he presented with an enlarging infrarenal post-dissection aneurysm. The false lumen was embolized using multiple IMPEDE-FX plugs as part of the treatment in addition to embolization of the inferior mesenteric artery and overstenting of the re-entry in the right iliac artery. At 15 months the CTA showed a fully thrombosed false lumen and remodeling of the true lumen. Conclusions The false lumen of an infrarenal post-dissection aneurysm can successfully be embolized using IMPEDE-FX embolization plugs as part of the treatment strategy. Prospective trials on patients with non-thrombosed false lumina are indicated.

Abstract Background Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone neoplasm and is sometimes referred to as osteocartilaginous exostosis. The symptoms caused by osteochondroma are rare, especially the urogenital complications. Therefore, this tumour is sometimes misdiagnosed. Case presentation This report described a 70-year-old woman with hematuria who was initially misdiagnosed with a bladder tumour in the outpatient department by a urologist. However, during cystoscopy, we found that the mass did not resemble a bladder tumor. Multidisciplinary approach with careful analysis of the imaging data suggested the diagnosis of osteochondroma. Open surgical excision of the mass was done and histology confirmed the diagnosis of benign osteochondroma. After 6 months of follow-up, the patient was still asymptomatic. Conclusions This case illustrates that hematuria is caused by not only urogenital disease but also osteochondroma. We present this case to draw the attention of clinicians to osteochondroma of the pubic symphysis.

Abstract Background Head and neck is a relatively common site of occurrence for the peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and majority of these tumors are seen involving neck, involving vagus nerve, and cervical sympathetic chain. Schwannomas involving mobile tongue are rarely encountered, especially in the pediatric population Case presentation We present a case of recurrent tongue schwannoma in a 13-year-old female successfully managed with transoral excision. At a follow-up of 3 years, no recurrence is observed. Conclusion Surgical excision is the recommended modality of treatment for lingual schwannomas, and when excised adequately, recurrences are not expected. A clear margin of surrounding normal tissue should be aimed for to avoid possible recurrence.

We report a rare case of an extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) in the frontal sinus with an indolent clinical presentation. Although a history of trauma was absent, the initial diagnosis was a mucocele, based on the radiological findings. Upon surgical excision, the patient was found to have an EMP. EMP, a form of solitary plasmacytoma, has a significantly high rate of conversion to multiple myeloma. This mandates long-term follow-up, even after successful radiotherapy and/or resection. While radiation therapy is generally considered a first line treatment for EMP, surgical intervention may provide optimal treatment in complicated cases. This case presentation highlights the prognosis of patients diagnosed with EMP.

ABSTRACT Aims To describe an unusual presentation of myxoid liposarcoma of oropharynx and a brief review of literature. Introduction Liposarcomas of head and neck are very rare. Its treatment and prognosis mainly depends on the site and the histologic pattern of the tumor. Case presentation The present case report describes a 65-year-old male with complaints of dysphagia, dyspnea, and a peculiar complaint of mass in the throat which turned out to be a low-grade myxoid liposarcoma arising from right lateral wall of oropharynx extending intraluminal in the esophagus, compressing posterior wall of trachea. The mass was successfully excised surgically and postoperative period was uneventful and patient was asymptomatic 4 months after surgery. Conclusion Myxoid liposarcoma is a rare tumor in head and neck and surgical excision with adequate margin is the treatment of choice. How to cite this article Mohiyuddin A, Raj S, Merchant S, Arun P.

Acquired acral fibrokeratoma (AAF) is a rare benign fibrous tumor. Its size is usually small (i.e., <0.5 cm). However, few cases with giant lesions (i.e., >1 cm) have been reported. A 17-year-old Saudi male presented to the Dermatology Outpatient Clinic of Aseer Central Hospital, Aseer Region, Saudi Arabia, with a painless rounded skin-colored exophytic nodule arising from the dorsal surface of the right middle toe, 1.7 cm in diameter. The tumor was surgically excised. Histopathology examination revealed a giant polyploid lesion, composed of massive hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, a core of thick collagen bundles and vertically oriented small dermal blood vessels. The diagnosis was giant AAF. There was no evidence of recurrence after surgical excision. AAF is a rare benign skin tumor which should be differentiated from other similar skin lesions. Surgical excision is the first line for treatment.
