Giant intrathoracic benign tumors: more threat than a challenge

Results The mean age was 42,6 ± 16,4 years, with male/female ratio of 0.77. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 8,5 ± 2,52 days and the correlation between tumor size and hospital stay was 0.005. The mean size of the tumors was 13.31 ± 5,4 cm. Correlation between age and tumor size 3.319 and between age and hospital stay 0.032. We performed complete resection via postero-lateral approach w...

An unusual, giant and benign condylomaacuminatum lesion on the genital area for more than a decade

Condyloma acuminatum, is a rare sexually transmitted disease. The virus responsible for condyloma is human papillomavirus. HPV-6 and HPV-11 are the most commonly detected HPV genotypes, but at least 20 other HPV genotypes have occasionally been found in genital wart tissue specimens. In fact genital HPV infection is common among sexually active populations. This disease may occur at any age af...

Intrathoracic gossypiboma: a diagnostic challenge.

Recurrence of "benign" intrathoracic fibromas.

Intrathoracic fibromas are uncommon but distinctive tumours. They are usually considered to be benign. The origin of these growths, which appear to be primary pleural tumours, has given rise to a diversity of opinion. The literature is confusing, for essentially similar tumours are reported by a variety of names, of which the most common are intrathoracic fibroma, pleural fibroma, and benign lo...
