Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer with potential risks for metastasis and recurrence if left untreated or incompletely excised. This case series study was designed to determine the frequency of incompletely excised SCCs and the related risk factors. A total of 273 SCCs (253 patients) excised in Razi dermatology hospital of Tehran from 2006-2008, were ev...

Rationale: Surgical removal of the lesions involving the supplementary motor area, results in immediate motor and speech deficits, which in most cases are reversible. Aim: Extent of removal of the supplementary motor area influences the post-operative deficits. Patients and Methods: 12 cases are included in this study, representing lesions involving the supplementary motor area by intra-axial g...

A case is reported of ureteral obstruction due to retained corpus luteum. The patient had previously undergone a hysterectomy and salpingo-ovariectomy with incomplete removal of ovarian tissue on both sides. The ureteral obstruction was treated by the excision of the mass and the reimplantation of the obstructed ureter into the bladder hitched to psoas muscle.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common neoplasm of the parotid gland. It is associated with the risk of recurrence and malignant transformation. Tumor spillage, incomplete excision, and violation of the tumor pseudocapsule are considered the only proven factors contributing to recurrent disease. The upward spread of recurrent pleomorphic adenoma along the fallopian canal via the stylomastoid fo...

INTRODUCTION Basal cell carcinoma is the most common tumor of the eyelid. In this region, reconstruction is complex and damage to healthy tissue should be minimal. OBJECTIVE To define the relationship between margin clearance at excision and the recurrence rate of basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid. METHODS This prospective study was conducted with 111 patients submitted to surgery for basa...

Background and study aims  Endoscopic treatment of malignant colorectal polyps is often challenging, especially for early rectal cancer (ERC) localized close to the dentate line. Conversely, the surgical approach may result in temporary or definitive stoma and in frequent post-surgical complications. The Full-Thickness Resection Device (FTRD ® ) System (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tübingen, Germany) is a...

BACKGROUND Fibromatosis or desmoid tumor of the breast is an extremely rare entity. While it lacks a metastatic potential, it can grow aggressively in a locally infiltrating pattern. The failure to recognize this as a finite entity within the breast can lead to local recurrence after incomplete excision. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 70 year old patient with a remote history of inva...

From 1971-1981, 18 patients with discrete subaortic stenosis were treated surgically at the Medical University of South Carolina. Echocardiography was diagnostic in 10 of 11 patients in whom it was used. Preoperative cardiac catheterization was performed in all patients. The preoperative left ventricular outflow systolic pressure gradient was 82.0 +/- 27.2 mmHg (mean +/- SD) (range 30-145). In ...

BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to determine the recurrence rate for open and endoscopic surgery and the clinical prognosis of this sinonasal tumor. METHODS A systematic review of individual cases of sinonasal hemangiopericytoma was performed. A total of 97 articles were included in the study and reviewed to extract the relevant information about each case. RESULTS In all, 194 cases of...
