Perivascular Epithelioid Cell tumour (PEComa) is rare. We describe a 39-year-old man who underwent a left radical orchidectomy and adjuvant radiation therapy for a stage IA classical testicular seminoma. He was diagnosed with a mass lateral to the right common iliac artery that was considered suspicious for late lymph node relapse after 3 years of follow-up. Due to the unusual location of the mass and the equivocal findings of percutaneous biopsy, a laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed. Final pathology revealed PEComa of soft tissue. The patient is disease free after 38 months of follow-up without adjuvant treatment. The presence of rare soft-tissue neoplasm should be considered in differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses during follow-up of germ cell tumours. Suspicious isolated recurrences of these neoplasms in unusual locations can require surgical excision to confirm diagnosis and avoid inappropriate treatment.

Among thyroplasties, type I is the most frequently used for medialization of the vocal cord. Follow-up study on patients indicated that reversion of voice can occur after operation. Revision was done in five cases with improvement of voice. On the basis of this experience, modifications were made in the technique of thyroplasty type I. They include 1) cutting the calcified cartilage with minimal intervention in the soft tissue, 2) fixation of the window with a silicone plug to enhance medialization, and 3) overmedialization of the vocal cord and definition of criteria for it that can be used during surgery.

Objective Severe cutis aplasia congenita has traditionally been treated with initial soft tissue coverage and delayed cranioplasty. We advocate the technique of early composite reconstruction of both bone and soft tissues. Methods Two cases of cutis aplasia congenita with large skull defects (6 × 10 cm, 8 × 8 cm) of superficial layers, skull, and dura are presented. In each case, composite reconstruction was undertaken before 2 weeks of age with restoration of bony and soft tissue coverage through autologous, full-thickness cranial bone grafts and scalp flaps. Both children have been followed up over 2 years with clinical examination and computed tomography (CT) scans. Results In both cases, defects were completely repaired postoperatively and remained closed 2 years later. Complete regeneration of calvarial bone graft donor sites were documented by CT scan. Head shape and circumference were normal at 2-year follow up.

The Ponseti method has revolutionized clubfoot treatment. Though completely neglected clubfeet are now rare, partially or incompletely and improperly treated feet are not uncommon. Relapses after successful correction may occur due to non-compliance with bracing. In scarred soft tissues due to previous surgery, soft tissue distraction using external fixation helps achieve correction. The Ilizarov fixator permits us to follow the Ponseti protocol, using correction methods that may either be constrained or unconstrained by hinges. Applying force vectors perpendicular to the moment arm allows us to correct the еquinus without damaging the ankle joint. All of the above is possible when the talus is round. Full correction of the deformity is possible. However, longterm follow-up of these patients has revealed stiffness of the ankle setting and frequently with tibio-talar osteophytes anteriorly. They are probably a reaction to excessive pressure developed in the joint due to the tight soft tissues. Hence the author has now added a mild shortening of the tibia and fibula to reduce soft tissue tension, rather than resorting to further soft tissue releases through scarred tissues. This allows faster correction with the Ponseti-Ilizarov protocol and allows good ankle range of motion to persist.
