An Atypical Lipomatous Tumor of the Forearm: A Case Report.

Introduction: Atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT) is a rare, well-differentiated and low-grade liposarcoma originating in deep soft tissue compartments of extremities and trunk. The optimal surgical treatment in the upper extremity is still controversial. Some Authors suggest the wide excision of the mass including the sacrifice of the muscle-surrounding tumor, others recommend the marginal resection of the lesion.

Preliminary report on the use of the Spectra™ implant for the correction of hypoplastic breasts with small-volume asymmetry.

Background: Small-volume breast asymmetry is a challenging problem. In 2008, an intra-operative volume-adjustable breast implant, consisting of a round textured implant with an outer chamber filled with cohesive silicone gel and inner chamber filled with varying amounts of saline solution was marketed in Europe. We describe our experience in the correction of hypoplastic breasts with small-volume asymmetry using this device.

Concomitant right subscapular and left olecranon elastofibroma followed by inversion of the lesions: case report.

Elastofibroma is a benign, poorly circumscribed, tumor-like condition involving, in the vast majority of cases, the subscapular region of elderly individuals, though isolated cases have been seen in the deltoid muscle, infraolecranon area, hip, thigh and stomach. It is characterized by accumulated abnormal elastic fibres and is generally regarded as a reactive process, an unusual fibroblastic pseudotumor. Multiple elastofibromas have been reported to occur in the scapula and olecranon and in the scapula and ischium, whereas literature reports of multiple elastofibromas in the same patient are rare.
