Accessory cavitated uterine mass: MRI features and surgical correlations of a rare but under-recognised entity.

Objectives: To describe MRI features of accessory cavitated uterine mass (ACUM) with surgical correlations.

Methods: Eleven young women with an ACUM at pathology underwent preoperative pelvic MRI. Two experienced radiologists retrospectively analysed MR images in consensus to determine the lesion location within the uterus, its size, morphology (shape and boundaries), and structure reporting the signal and enhancement of its different parts compared to myometrium.

Laparoscopic hysterectomy after concurrent radiochemotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer compared to laparotomy: A multi institutional prospective pilot study of cost, surgical outcome and quality of life.

Objective: Laparoscopy allows hysterectomies after chemoradiation to be performed without opening the abdominal wall. We measured the costs and quality of life for locally advanced cervical cancer patients operated on via laparoscopy compared to laparotomy.

Study Design: We conducted an observational prospective multicenter study on locally advanced cervical cancer patients undergoing an extrafascial hysterectomy after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT).

[Lactational breast abscesses: Do we still need surgery?].

Aim: To show the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided puncture in the treatment of lactational breast abscess and identify its risk factors.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective descriptive study at the CHU of Lyon-Sud from December 2007 to December 2013, including patients with lactational breast abscess confirmed on ultrasound and treated with antibiotics and analgesics. Realisation of ultrasound-guided needle under local anesthesia by the radiologist and washing the cavity with physiological serum.
