SurLym trial: study protocol for a multicentre pragmatic randomised controlled trial on the added value of reconstructive lymphatic surgery to decongestive lymphatic therapy for the treatment of lymphoedema.

Introduction: Lymphoedema is a chronic condition caused by lymphatic insufficiency. It leads to swelling of the limb/midline region and an increased risk of infection. Lymphoedema is often associated with mental and physical problems limiting quality of life.

[Treatment of pseudogynecomastia in massive weight loss patients: Liposuction assisted and made-to-measure desepidermization technique].

Background: After massive weight loss (MWL), the chest in men may show significant deformities. The surgical treatment of gynecomastia after MWL remains a difficult and partially misunderstood surgery due to 4 main factors: a complex excess of skin in height and width that sometimes continues in the axilla or dorsal region, a predominantly fatty rather than glandular component, the malposition of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) that is often enlarged and an inframammary fold (IMF) that is often marked. The techniques currently described are either insufficient or lead to frequent and/or significant complications.

Oncologic Safety of Immediate Breast Reconstruction: A Single-Center Retrospective Review of 138 Patients.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the oncologic safety of mastectomies associated with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) in terms of recurrence and survival.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted at a single center (CHU UCL Namur, Belgium). We analyzed the oncologic safety of IBR for patients with invasive and in situ breast cancer who underwent mastectomy associated with IBR.

Primary cutaneous CD8+ and CD30+ T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders: case reports and clinical implications.

Background: CD8+ CD30+ primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (PCTCL) are rare entities with overlapping pathological features and variable outcome.

Objectives: We sought to highlight the importance of correlation between pathological findings and clinical presentation for correct classification of the disease.

Materials & Methods: Two cases of CD8+ CD30+ PCTCL were investigated.
