Introduction: Schwannoma of the glans is a rare clinical entity. The diagnosis is histological. Treatment is surgical, with complete excision. The authors report this rare case encountered at the University Hospital of Libreville in order to identify its clinical and therapeutic characteristics. Observation: Mr. I.B, 50 years old, with no medical-surgical history, consulted for swelling of the glans evolving for 06 years, preventing coitus. He reported a notion of poor healing from an acorn sore after the trouser fly was closed. The diagnostic suspicion was a glans keloid. A complete resection was performed. Histologic examination favored a glans schwannoma. Healing was effective on D7 postoperatively. Erectile functions have been preserved. Conclusion: The glans schwannoma is rare. Surgical treatment gives good results.

Metallic Ring

Strangulation of penis is a rare clinical entity, which requires urgent urological management to prevent its devastating outcomes. The treatment of penile strangulation is immediate decompression of the constricted penis to facilitate free blood flow. Many different techniques have been described in literature to remove the constricting penile foreign bodies, but there is no universally accepted technique. Each case needs individualized handling in removing the foreign body. The procedure should be done with as little discomfort to the patient as possible and under anesthesia. Here we present to you a case report on a rare case of a metallic ring penile foreign body causing penile strangulation.

Introduction/Objective. Tarsal dislocations are rare injuries. Usually, they are caused by high-energy trauma. Depending on the type of dislocation, surgical treatment or closed reduction is used. In this study, 13 patients are presented with the aim to analyze the type of feet dislocations, their treatment, and outcome. Methods. Tarsal dislocation cases treated in the University Hospital in Foca were analyzed during the period 2009?2016. All the cases were clinically and radiographically examined and monitored on control examinations at least three years. The mobility of joints was measured and pain existence was estimated by visual analogue scale. Results. All 13 patients with tarsal dislocation were male. Four patients were treated surgically (two patients with tarsometatarsal and one with cuboid and navicular dislocation) and other patients had non-surgical treatment. In 10 patients, an excellent functional result has been achieved and in two patients with tarsometatarsal dislocation a good functional result. In one patient with cuboidal dislocation satisfactory functional result has been achieved. Conclusion. Out of the 13 reviewed patients with tarsal dislocations, functional results were rated as excellent in 10 dislocations, good in two, and satisfactory in one. Diagnosis and treatment of foot dislocations are demanding, but a favorable functional outcome can be expected with an adequate treatment of these injuries.

Summary Retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas comprise a relatively rare entity with incidence rates of less than 1% of all malignancies. The surgical treatment of these tumors is challenging. We present a case of a 70-year-old patient who underwent radical surgery at the Department of Surgical Oncology at the University Hospital in Pleven for giant dedifferentiated liposarcoma. The patient presented with cachexia, anemia, dull abdominal pain, and a huge abdominal mass. After ultrasound and CT, the tumor was assessed as resectable. The removed tumor mass weighed 5.7 kg. Nowadays, complete resection of such tumors remains the most important predictive factor for local recurrence and overall survival.

PURPOSE: Surgical treatment of chagasic megacolon has suffered innumerable transformations over the years. Poor knowledge of the disease physiopathology is one of the reasons. METHODS: From January 1977 to December 2003, 430 patients were submitted to surgical treatment for chagasic megacolon. Of these procedures, 351 were elective and 79 emergency operations carried out at the University Hospital of Ribeirão Preto. Four elective operations, most frequently used, should be singled out: anterior rectosigmoidectomy (52.71%), left hemicolectomy (18.23%), Duhamel-Haddad operation(15.95%), and total colectomy (5.98%). From the 79 exploratory laparotomies performed on an emergency basis, 53 (67.09%) required intestinal resection. From the 430 patients operated upon, 268 (62.33%) progressed without recurrence of intestinal constipation, and 71 (15.51%) had a recurrence. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Based on the data collected, left hemicolectomy had the highest constipation recurrence rate compared to other operating procedures; anterior retosigmoidectomy had less complication episodes and a larger recurrence of intestinal constipation in comparison to the Duhamel-Haddad operation. Emergency operations, mainly for the treatment of volvulus and fecaloma, presented high morbidity and mortality and required extensive intestinal resections, stomas and reoperations.

Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis

Objective The aims of the present study were to evaluate the clinical significance of the delay for surgical treatment and the prognostic value of other clinical, pathologic, and microbiological variables among hematologic patients affected by acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS). Furthermore, we propose our early diagnosis and treatment protocol, reporting its 10-year results. Study Design Monocentric retrospective analysis. Setting The study was conducted from 2001 to 2017 at the University Hospital of Bologna, Italy. Subjects and Methods The impact of time to treatment and clinical, pathologic, and microbiological variables were analyzed among patients with histologically and microbiologically proven AIFRS. The outcomes of patients treated before the introduction of the early diagnosis protocol were compared with those treated afterward. Results Nineteen patients affected by AIFRS were eligible for the study. Treatment delay >4 days ( P = .002), infection caused by Mucorales ( P = .015), and extension of the disease were negative prognostic variables ( P = .017). The application of our protocol significantly reduced the delay for diagnosis and appropriate treatment by an average of 7.3 days ( P = .02). Conclusion The promptness of the diagnosis and surgical treatment may play a significant role in the management of AIFRS, as it appears to be significantly associated with the disease outcome. Our protocol may help to reduce the time required for diagnosis of high-risk hematologic patients.
