Soft tissue chondroma of Hoffa's fat pad.
We report mutimodal imaging findings of an extraskeletal chondroma of the Hoffa's fat pad. Plain radiographic or CT scan studies demonstrate a large soft tissue mass with calcifications and central ossification, characteristic features of these tumors. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging shows heterogeneous signal due to polymorphic histopathological appearance. Correlation between MR imaging and p...
متن کاملPericardial flap for bronchial stump coverage after extrapleural pneumonectomy; is it feasible?
Bronchial stump reinforcement with viable tissue after pneumonectomy is an important prophylactic measure against the development of bronchopleural fistula. We present our technique of utilizing the pericardium on the posterior wall of the left atrium as a flap to cover the bronchial stump after extrapleural pneumonectomy. From January 1999 to March 2008, we used this technique in 50 patients (...
متن کاملBronchial stump recurrence after surgery for bronchial carcinoma.
In 10 out of 295 patients (3.4%), followed-up after radical resection for non-small cell bronchial carcinoma in the period from 1980 until 1986, bronchial stump recurrence developed. A good relationship was found between relapse time (4-52 months) and distance between the primary tumour and bronchial resection line (1-7 cm) (i.e. 5-8 months.cm-1) in 8 of the patients (p less than 0.01). The mea...
متن کاملBrown Adipose Tissue in the Buccal Fat Pad during Infancy
BACKGROUND The buccal fat pad (BFP) is an encapsulated mass of adipose tissue thought to enhance the sucking capabilities of the masticatory muscles during infancy. To date, no conclusive evidence has been provided as to the composition of the BFP in early postnatal life. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine whether the BFP of neonates and infants is primarily composed of white ...
متن کاملRoutine reinforcement of bronchial stump after lobectomy or pneumonectomy with pedicled pericardial flap (PPF)
The results of 25 cases underwent a pedicled pericardial flap coverage for the bronchial stump after lobectomy or pneumonectomy were compared with those of 25 patients who received no coverage for the bronchial stump. Operative and perioperative complications were recorded, and patients were followed up for a mean of 30 ± 15 days. The analysis revealed that the routine coverage of the bronchial...
