A large parosteal osteoma arising on the surface of the right clavicle of a 39-year-old male patient was suspected preoperatively as a parosteal osteosarcoma. The lesion was treated with wide resection and allograft reconstruction. In this case report, we discuss the accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment for unusual clavicular tumors.

Abstract Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital anomaly. Generally, it is seen on the right side and is associated with an atrial septal defect. Herein, we present a case of a 50-year-old male patient with a supracardiac type PAPVC detected during pneumonectomy for a right hilar mass. This is the second case report in the literature presenting surgical treatment of both lung cancer and PAPVC using pneumonectomy. Thoracic surgeons should be aware of this anomaly when they are planning to perform a major lung resection. If PAPVC and lung cancer are in the same lobe, anatomical lung resections including pneumonectomy can be safely performed.

CONTEXT: Fraley’s syndrome is characterized by vascular compression on the superior infundibulum with secondary dilatation of the upper pole calyx, mostly located on the right side. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 22-year-old woman with vascular compression of the upper-pole infundibulocalyceal system (Fraley’s syndrome). The patient had a history of frequent hospitalizations for emergency care due to lumbar pain over the past twelve months. The diagnosis was obtained following renal arteriography. Since the surgical treatment by means of upper-pole nephrectomy, the patient has not had any further symptoms.

Introduction. Due to its contents and relations with neighboring regions, the infratemporal fossa has a great clinical significance. Primary tumors of this region, both benign and malignant, are rare, but they do require surgical treatment, which is determined by the size and localization of the tumor. Case Report. The paper presents the case of a 72-year-old female patient who was referred to hospital for paresthesia in the left half of the face after having been found to have a tumor of left infratmeporal fossa by imaging methods. The tumor was completely removed by transfacial-transzygomatic approach and, according to histopathological findings, it was a schwannoma. The postoperative course was without complications and the patient did not have any discomforts at the check-up a month later. Conclusion. In addition to the accurate diagnosis, the success rate of the surgical treatment of tumors depends on the appropriate surgical approach to ensure the complete removal of the tumor while preserving the content of the infratemporal region.

AbstractObjective:We report two extremely rare cases of symptomatic nasopharyngeal branchial cleft cyst treated by powered instrument assisted marsupialisation.Methods:Case report and literature review concerning nasopharyngeal branchial cleft cyst and surgical treatment methods.Results:The first case was a two-year-old boy with a 1 × 2 cm, cystic, oropharyngeal mass, who also had severe snoring and sleep apnoea. The second case was a 56-year-old man with right nasal obstruction and a sensation of fullness in the right ear. In both cases, we performed endoscopic marsupialisation using a powered instrument. There was no recurrence in either case over two years of follow up.Conclusion:Powered instrument marsupialisation is a simple, effective and less invasive technique for the treatment of nasopharyngeal branchial cleft cyst.

Introduction: Titanium elastic nailing (TENS) with wedge osteotomy for the management of monostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD) of tibia is done in a 6-year-old male patient. Case Report: This is a case describing monostotic FD of right tibia in a 6-year-old male patient. The patient’s parents noticed a diffuse swelling in the right leg a few days after birth. It was managed conservatively till 3 years of age when the patient started complaining of pain in his right leg and difficulty in walking and running. The patient developed gradual and progressive anterior bowing in the right leg in the next 3 years. The patient was diagnosed with monostotic FD of the right tibia based on clinical and radiological findings. Wedge osteotomies were done in the tibia and fibula with TENS nailing as a definitive procedure for this patient. Discussion: Management of monostotic FD of the right tibia with TENS nailing and wedge osteotomy can be a possible modality of definitive management with complete pain relief and deformity correction. Conclusion: Correction of deformities secondary to FD requires meticulous pre-operative planning and execution. But with proper planning, even major deformities as in our case, procedures as simple as wedge osteotomy and TENS nailing can give excellent outcomes. Keywords: Fibrous dysplasia, monostotic, titanium elastic nailing.

This case report describes a rare form of malignant bone tumor in an 8-year-old Labrador retriever. This dog initially presented for evaluation of a right distal humeral mass. Radiographs of the right elbow and thorax were performed, revealing a smooth mineralized mass adjacent to the lateral aspect of the distal humerus and a 5mm pulmonary nodule. Computed tomography (CT) of the humerus and thorax showed a smooth mineralized lesion adjacent to the lateral humeral epicondyle, and a right cranial lung lobe nodule with a thin mineral rim. Surgical biopsies of both lesions were diagnostic for parosteal osteosarcoma (POSA). The dog was then treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) which controlled the dog's discomfort for 14 months until he became progressively painful and subsequently had his right forelimb amputated. This case report is the first to document the CT imaging characteristics of a metastatic appendicular POSA in a dog and the first dog described with POSA treated with SBRT. The dog lived for 623 days after histopathologic diagnosis and 849 days after initial presentation with pulmonary metastatic disease.
