•Primary malignant melanoma of cervix is an extremely rare neoplasm and regardless stage and treatment, prognosis is extremely poor.•The only available primary treatment that improves prognosis is radical surgical excision of the tumor with wide clear margins.

INTRODUCTION Hidradenitis suppurativa of the groin is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Radical surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Often split-skin grafting or wound healing by secondary intention are used for defect closure, sometimes with disfiguring results. We describe our experience with radical excision of localised inguinal hidrade...

The results of treating 85 patients suffering from craniopharyngioma are reviewed. The recurrence of the tumour after 20 symptom-free years after radical excision is reported. Claims for successful treatment of this illness should be reviewed in this light.

BACKGROUND After local excision of early rectal cancer, revision radical resection is recommended for patients with high-risk pathologic stage T1 (pT1) or pT2 cancer, but the revision procedure has high morbidity rates. We evaluated the efficacy of adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for reducing recurrence after local excision in these patients. METHODS Eighty-three patients with hi...

The present report describes a case of osteoid osteoma of the trapezoid. It'is an unusual localisation. Synovitis was the first clinical symptom. Tomograms allowed diagnosis and guided the treatment. Radical excision prevented recurrence.

primary cardiac sarcomas are rare clinical entities with an incidence rate of 0.0001% in collected autopsy series and are regarded as very aggressive tumors. we herein describe a 21-year-old woman presenting with syncope, dyspnea, and abdominal distention. she suffered from massive ascites, plural effusion, and liver congestion demonstrated by abdominal sonography and chest x-ray. transthoracic...

Anal cancer is relatively uncommon, accounting for about 4% of anorectal malignancies. The condition is of increasing interest owing to appreciable changes in the patterns of treatment. The traditional treatment for anal cancer was a radical abdominoperineal excision, leaving the patient with a permanent colostomy. Emerging evidence shows that most anal cancers respond to a combination of radio...

The purpose of the radical neck dissection is to remove the lymphatics and the drainage areas of primary cancers originating in the head and neck. Applying this principle of regional lymphatic excision (radical dissection), all cervical lymphatics and, in addition, certain adjacent muscles, nerves, and glands must be sacrificed to facilitate complete extirpation of the disease. A "partial" or u...
