A 7-year-old dog, Shih Tzu breed, intact male, came to an animal hospital in Thonburi area, Bangkok Province, Thailand with symptom of licking the left forefoot. Small lumps about 1×1×1cm (w×l×h) were found to be protruding around the left front toe. Surgical excision to remove the mass and subsequent histological examination identified the mass as sebaceous adenoma. After surgery and follow-up at 12 months, there were no obvious complications. Reports of this type concerning tumors in the paws tend to be rare. Furthermore, reports of tumor findings in this area remain unclear.

Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant tumor that has been reported in several organs of different dog breeds. An 8-year-old Shih Tzu, an intact male dog, came to an animal clinic in the Thonburi area, Bangkok Province, Thailand, and a mass of 4.5 × 4.5 cm (width × length) by size was found at the submandibular area. Surgical excision to remove the mass and subsequent histological examination identified the mass as SCC. After conducting the surgery and follow-up, the mass was recurrent at the same location after 33 days and a dog died. Therefore, one of the possible reasons for the death of the dog could be SCC metastasis.

Cytohistological comparisons to the account of the clinical data and revision of cytological and histological preparations on a material received from 21 patients are made. Cytomorphological features of juvenile nevi (Spitz-nevus, Reed-nevus), dysplastic and atypical nevi and early forms of melanoma are described. The establishment at cytological examination of good-quality character of melanocytic defeats at the account of the clinical data could be the basis for appointment laser therapy. At revealing of atypical melanocytes in cytological preparations patients should be referred to specialized oncological institutions for surgical excision of tumor with the subsequent histological examination. Thus cytological examination could be used in dermatological practice as a method of screening pre-malignant melanocytic tumors and skin melanoma.

Primary angiosarcomas arising from the alimentary tract are rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of an angiosarcoma of the sigmoid colon with intraperitoneal bleeding but not rectal bleeding. A 21-year-old female patient received a laparotomy and a mass lesion over the sigmoid colon was found with active bleeding. A sigmoid colectomy was performed as a curative resection. Grossly, the sigmoid colon contained a kidney shaped, hemorrhagic tumour from the submucosal layer extension to the antimesenteric side. Intraluminally, the mucosa of the colon was intact. Microscopic examination revealed a high grade angiosarcoma composed of fascicles of spindle cells and solid sheets of epithelioid cells. Immunohistochemical stains revealed a positive result for CD31 and the endothelial nature of the malignancy was confirmed. Smooth muscle antigens, desmins, cytokeratins AE1/AE3 and CD117 were all negative. The patient is still alive without evidence of recurrence or metastasis at a three-year follow-up appointment. Owing to the availability of immunohistochemical studies, some atypical sarcomas would now be correctly classified as angiosarcomas. Since no optimal adjuvant treatment is effective, curative surgical excision is still the best choice of treatment.

Dental Impression

Oral mucocele is a benign cystic exophytic lesion affecting the minor salivary gland and is especially present in pediatric patients (3% under 14 years). It is characterized by an extravasation or retention of fluid or mucus in the submucosal tissue of the minor salivary glands. Several surgical techniques have been proposed over the years, including the excision of the mucocele by using the injection of a hydrocolloid impression material in the light of the cyst to prevent the collapse of the cystic wall and solidify the lesion, resulting in a better cleavage plan. The combined clinical approach between the combination of Shira’s technique and the surgical excision of the cystic lesion results in a conservative surgical removal of the lesion. Here, we reported the removal of a labial mucocele in a 14-year-old male patient, using the injection of a hydrocolloid impression material. At a 12 months follow up, the patient showed complete healing of the surgical site, showing a pinkish lip lining mucosa without scarring or recurrence of the primary lesion. The combined therapeutic approach between Shira’s technique and surgical excision allows a safe and predictable excision of the labial mucocele, minimizing the risk of recurrence.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Koenen tumors are benign, cutaneous manifestations of tuberous sclerosis. These are disfiguring, painful, and challenging to treat as they frequently recur. We report a case of long-standing, multiple Koenen tumors affecting all twenty nails in an elderly female who was successfully treated with a combination of topical sirolimus 1%, surgical excision, and electrofulguration. <b><i>Case Report:</i></b> A 57-year-old lady presented with multiple, asymptomatic periungual, and subungual tumors affecting all twenty nails since 27 years. Cutaneous examination revealed confetti macules, ash-leaf macule, and shagreen patch over trunk. Nail biopsy was compatible with Koenen’s tumor. Computerized tomography of brain showed diffuse patchy sclerosis. The tumors were treated with topical sirolimus 1% ointment for 10 months with excellent regression. Electro­fulguration for both great toenails and surgical excision of right thumbnail periungual fibroma was done. 1% sirolimus was advised after the surgical treatment. There were no adverse effects or recurrence of tumors over a 2-year follow-up. <b><i>Discussion:</i></b> Topical sirolimus 1% was effective in tumor regression and preventing new tumor formation. Larger tumors that interfered in daily chores were treated with excision and electrofulguration. Thus, a combination treatment for this rare presentation of tuberous sclerosis provided optimum results.

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 Introduction The accepted treatment of pilonidal disease still consists of surgical excision with primary wound closure. This treatment has complications such as excessive pain, delayed wound healing, and recurrence. We introduced this technique using a radial laser probe (SiLaCTM, Biolitec, Germany). Previous studies have shown encouraging results with respect to safety, patient satisfaction, and minimal recurrence rates. Method The pilot project was planned with the objectives to assess postoperative complications and reoperation rates. All operations were performed as day case procedures under general anaesthesia. We studied the data of our first 25patients operated with this technique between January 2019 and December 2019 using a prospective database and outpatient clinic follow up. Results The median follow up duration was 13 months. The initial success rate was 64%(16/25), reoperation was required in 32%(8/25) and one patient was lost to follow up. one patient returned with abscess formation in the postoperative period. Conclusions SiLaC is a safe and minimally invasive technique for the destruction of the pilonidal cyst and sinus. The success rate is modest, making this new therapy a minimally invasive option for the majority of the patients with pilonidal disease but it should be offered with caution.

Two cohorts of rats, 240 with colon cancer and 150 controls, were assessed clinically and immunologically for their response to tumour and its management which was either by surgical excision alone or by surgical excision combined with either adjuvant chemotherapy or immunotherapy. The histology and invasion characteristics were observed for similarity with those of human lesions. Metastases were found in liver, lymph nodes, the peritoneum or lungs in 27% of animals during follow up. Significantly fewer adjuvant-treated rats had metastases than those receiving surgery alone ( P < 0.05), and less total tumour weight was found in the adjuvant-treated rats at four ( P < 0.03) and six ( P < 0.001) weeks postoperatively. Animals in the adjuvant immunotherapy group survived longer than in either other group ( P < 0.001). The crude parameters of host response to tumour, body, spleen and mesenteric lymph node weight were recorded and the latter two indexed to body weight. The body weight of tumour and control rats increased significantly with time ( P < 0.04). The spleen and mesenteric node indices were significantly ( P < 0.04) greater in tumour than control rats and were varied by recurrent tumour growth and by the adjuvant treatment administered postoperatively.
