background: breast implant associated anaplastic large t- cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-hodgkin lymphoma, with a reported incidence of 0.3% per 100,000 women with breast prosthesis per year. it presents most commonly as a peri-implant seroma, but may also present as a capsular mass, tumor erosion through skin, in a regional lymph node, or found incidentally during revision surgery. case p...

background: seroma formation is a common complication after breast cancer surgery. several techniques such as tube drainage, fibrin sealant and suturing methods have been employed to prevent or reduce seroma formation. capitonnage, a suturing method widely used following hydatid cyst removal, has been used after breast surgery in limited studies. our aim was to compare the effectiveness of tube...

bone has a capability to repair itself when it is fractured. repair involves the generation of intermediatetissues, such as fibrous connective tissue, cartilage and woven bone, before final bone healing can occur. theprocess of cartilage-to-bone transition (cbt) is a key for the achievement of rigid bone healing duringfracture repair. we tested this potential for elastic cartilage using a long ...

Postoperative seroma is a well-known but rare complication of surgery. As a rule, treatment of a seroma consists of continuous wound drainage combined with compression therapy. This approach, however, often results in long-drawn-out treatment and the patient may find the compression therapy stressful. Alternatively, regular aspiration or surgical clearance may be performed. Radiotherapy is anot...

METHODS: Patients with unilateral microtia, who underwent auricular reconstruction with MEDPOR® implant, were enrolled. Three-dimensional image of the patient’s head was captured by the 3dMDcranial® and virtual sculpture carried out using the Geomagic® Freeform® software and TouchTM X Haptic device for fabrication of the auricular template. Each template was tailored according to the patient’s ...

Although postoperative seroma formation is a rare complication, it is a bothersome and hard-to-treat situation when occurred. In daily practice of vascular surgery, postoperative use of intravenous heparin is indicated as a risk factor for postoperative symptomatic seroma development. According to the literature,a significant cause that we face this problem with increasing incidence may be the ...

Microscopic examination of left auricular biopsy has been a routine procedure since the advent of mitral valve surgery. A "positive" auricular biopsy with the presence of so-called Aschoff lesions presumably indicating rheumatic activity, is frequently encountered under such circumstances even in the absence of clinical or routine laboratory criteria suggestive of active rheumatic carditis.'. A...

Conflicts of interests: none Financial support: none ABS TRACT Reconstructions of the auricular pavilion are complex, especially when there is a loss of cartilaginous support. A case of chondrocutaneous defect reconstruction, after the exeresis of a basal cell carcinoma in the upper third of the auricular pavilion, is reported. Silicone fiber was used to model and provide support for the ear. T...
