INTRODUCTION Curettage of the cyst and bone grafting are the most common methods used in the treatment of unicameral bone cysts (UBC) and aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC). Recurrence of these cysts is often associated with insufficient curettage of the cyst during surgery. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of insufficient curettage on recurrence in patients with UBC and ABC. METHODS T...

In the present study, we evaluated the diagnosis and management modalities of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Thirty patients diagnosed with CSP were retrospectively studied between February, 2010 and February, 2012. Twenty-five patients were offered prophylactic uterine artery embolization (UAE) and methotrexate (MTX) prior to uterine suction curettage. Five cases were referred from other hosp...

  Giant Cell tumors (GCT) are benign tumors with potential for aggressive behavior and capacity to metastasize. Although rarely lethal, benign bone tumors may be associated with a substantial disturbance of the local bony architecture that can be particularly troublesome in peri-articular locations. Its histogenesis remains unclear. It is characterized by a proliferation of mononuclear stromal ...

Objective To compare the diagnostic suitability of endometrial tissues obtained from postmenopausal women using the MyoSure Lite tissue removal system versus conventional curettage. Materials and methods Endometrial tissue was sampled in hysteroscopically normal extirpated uteri from seven postmenopausal women (65.9±6.6 years old) using both hysteroscopicguided morcellation and curettage (two...

OBJECTIVE To assess optimal surgical treatment with excision or curettage techniques in children with cervicofacial nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) adenitis. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Tertiary university-based pediatric referral center. PATIENTS Patients younger than 18 years diagnosed as having cervicofacial NTM adenitis by positive mycobacterial cultures or stains, or...

BACKGROUND Locoregional advanced melanoma poses a complex clinical challenge that requires a multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach. Numerous agents have been studied for their suitability as intralesional therapy in the past decades, but few have successfully completed phase 3 clinical trial testing. METHODS The relevant medical literature was searched for articles regarding use of int...

The authors conducted a retrospective study on 23 patients (12 females and 11 males) with low-grade intramedullary chondrosarcoma of a long bone, treated with intralesional curettage, phenolization and cementation. The use of phenol was supported by an in vitro study, the use of bone cement by clinical studies. A consensus has been growing that this type of tumours should be treated less aggres...

background cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is an endemic disease in iran. pentavalent antimonials including meglumine antimoniate (ma) are still the gold standard treatment. trichloroacetic acid (tca) is used in treatment of acne scar, photodamaged skin, and some other dermatologic diseases. considering the tca potential to induce collagen synthesis and its efficacy in the treatment of papular cl ...
