A case of extraskeletal chondroma in the left inguinal region.

Extraskeletal chondromas are rare benign neoplasms comprising mature hyaline cartilage. A distinctive feature of these tumors is that they develop in soft tissues away from bone and cartilage. Extraskeletal chondromas account for 1.

Core needle biopsy for thyroid nodules assessment-a new horizon?

Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration is the standard for evaluating thyroid nodules with a high safety profile and a relatively low number of non-diagnostic cytological findings. Nevertheless, this diagnostic method traditionally has its weak points. Several diagnostic categories such as Bethesda I, III and IV are not reliable for thyroid carcinoma risk assessment.

A rare clinical case of extra-gastrointestinal stromal pancreatic tumor.

Extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors arising from the pancreas are extremely rare. To date, just over 30 cases have been described in the world literature. A clinical observation of a 67-year-old patient with dull epigastric pain and a large cystic solid neoplasm instrumentally identified as an extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the head of the pancreas is presented.

Prophylaxis of postoperative hypoparathyroidism in thyroid surgery.

Aim: To provide an algorithm to prevent parathyroid gland damage during surgery.

Gallbladder injury in a catatrauma patient: a clinical case.

Gallbladder trauma is a rare medical emergency in abdominal surgery because of its anatomic location. Gallbladder injury occurs in only 1.9%-2.

Giant bleeding post-traumatic thoracic sarcoma management: A case report.

The heterogeneity of thoracic wall tumors often represents challenging clinical entities for surgeons due to diagnostic and treatment complexities. The primary tumors, metastases, or direct invasion from intrathoracic structures comprise almost half of all cases on average that are proved to be malignant. Surgery treatment usually leaves large chest defects that require further extensive reconstruction and multimodal management including radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

A Narrative Review of Preventive Central Lymph Node Dissection in Patients With Papillary Thyroid Cancer - A Necessity or an Excess.

Objective: This review article summarises the latest evidence for preventive central lymph node dissection in patients with papillary thyroid cancer taking into account the possible complications and risk of recurrence.

Background: Papillary thyroid cancer is the most frequent histological variant of malignant neoplasms of the thyroid gland. It accounts for about 80-85% of all cases of thyroid cancer.

A case of presacral teratoid cyst in an adult patient.

Presacral teratoid cyst (PTC) is a congenital structural abnormality located in the pararectal area and containing tissues from different germ layers. Cases of diagnosis and treatment of PTC in adults are extremely rare and there is little information about the treatment tactics and prognosis. We describe a case of PTC in a 28-year-old woman, with a description of the diagnostic process, preoperative and postoperative management, as well as a brief review of the literature on this topic.
