Percutaneous vertebroplasty of the C2 body and dens using the anterior oblique ascending transdiscal approach.

This first description of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) of the second cervical vertebra (C2) using an ascending oblique transdiscal approach is a case report of a 63-year-old woman who complained of neck pain that was resistant to painkillers and the result of an osteolytic metastatic lesion of C2. PVP was performed using an ascending oblique transdiscal approach, a percutaneous technique that had never been described before. It has since been used in more than 15 patients, resulting in pain relief and stabilization of C2 with good distribution of cement across the vertebral body and dens.

[Congenital mesoblastic nephroma: diagnosis and treatment of one case].

The congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) described by Bolande et al. in 1967 is a renal tumor often discovered in neonatal period and early childhood. It's usually considered as a benign tumor with good prognostic for which nephrectomy is the reference treatment.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of the lunate: case report.

Aneurysmal bone cysts rarely affect the carpus. We present a case of aneurysmal bone cyst affecting the lunate. Curettage and bone grafting of the lesion was successful, with no recurrence after 2 years of follow-up.

[Hepatic Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma: a rare liver tumor].

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver is a rare primary malignant tumor of vascular origin. It most frequently occurs in middle age adults and clinical findings are non-specific. Histological diagnosis may be difficult to achieve with lesions containing a large myxoid component, and immunohistochemical staining is required.

Stapled marsupialisation of chronic low rectal anastomotic sinuses.

Purpose: This report describes a technique for the treatment of patients with chronic pelvic anastomotic sinuses (AS) after low anastomosis for rectal cancer in which transanal stapled marsupialisation is performed.

Methods: We reviewed the clinical history of a 62-year-old patient who had a symptomatic chronic pelvic AS more than 6 months after stapled low colorectal side-to-end anastomosis with loop ileostomy for a stage II cancer of the mid rectum without preoperative radiochemotherapy. Pelvic abscess was recurrent three times after percutaneous drainage, operative transanal drainage, and treatment with fibrin glue and ileostomy closure.
