sarcomas of the breast are rare and comprise less than 1% of mammary cancers. myxofibrosarcoma as an unusual variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the breast and during pregnancy has not previous been reported in the literature. we present the case of a 32-year-old woman with a rapidly growing subcutaneous left breast mass that appeared during her first pregnancy. after ultrasonography a...

INTRODUCTION Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare, slow growing malignant mesenchymal tumour, which mimics a benign granulomatous lesion leading to mistaken clinical diagnosis. The benign clinical appearance prompted us to do only a marginal excision initially, wherein now we feel that a more radical treatment should have been attempted to prevent the recurrence. We feel that sharing of our experience...

In the past few decades, the surgical treatment of early breast cancer has evolved from radical mastectomy to breast conservation surgery and the current practice of segmental mastectomy and radiotherapy. As these less invasive techniques have gained acceptance with excellent long-term rates of local-regional control, there has been a growing interest in the surgical community in techniques to ...

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is an uncommon odontogenic tumor with well-known histopathological features and a challenging treatment plan. Although some investigators advocate conservative approach as the treatment of choice, others believe in radical surgical excision to avoid recurrence or malignant transformation. The main objective of this case report is presenting an unus...

of urethral strictures. It is true that most modern text-books do mention the excision of strictures in a brief and unconvincing sort of way, after they have devoted many pages and illustrations to the detailed description of the various forms of urethrotomy. Isolated papers appear from time to time dealing with this subject ; but nevertheless the radical operation for urethral stricture is not...

Craniopharyngioma are the most common non-glial tumors in childhood. The results of different studies indicate that radical excision surgery is not an appropriate treatment strategy for childhood craniopharyngioma with hypothalamic involvement. Stereotactic neurosurgery provides save, minimal invasive and cost-efficient options in the treatment of childhood craniopharyngioma. In this review a s...

HYPOTHESIS Despite the noninclusion of locally draining lymph nodes, limited resection of low-risk pT1 rectal cancer can achieve an adequate oncological outcome with lower morbidity and mortality compared with radical resection. DESIGN Based on the data of a prospective multicenter observational study performed from January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2001, patients with low-risk pT1 rectal...

UNLABELLED Hemangiopericytomas are rare hypervascular tumors arising from Zimmerman's pericytes. They usually occur in the soft tissue, and intraosseous lesions are very rare. Surgical excision is the first choice for treatment. Many studies show that patients should be monitored for some time following treatment because of a high rate of recurrence and metastasis after radical resection. This ...

Background Squamous-cell carcinoma arising in a pilonidal sinus is a rare complication of a common disease. More than 60 cases are reported in literature. In all patients, squamous carcinoma arises in a long-term pilonidal disease. The gold-standard for treatment is radical excision of the neoplasm, with tumour-free margins. Some Authors consider the effectiveness of postoperative chemoor radio...

Five cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia successfully treated by a free vascularised fibular graft are described. Follow-up ranged from 5 to 34 months with a mean of 17.5 months. The technique, which includes radical excision of abnormal bone and soft tissue around the pseudarthrosis, also permits primary bone lengthening, and correction of deformity. The early results indicate that...
