Penile calciphylaxis-a complicated case managed with circumcision and glansectomy.

Penile calciphylaxis is a serious manifestation of calcifying uremic arteriolopathy, with only a small number of cases reported in the literature. It is rare, characterized by calcification within the walls of small vessels, resulting in ischaemic changes to the skin, and is mainly seen in patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF). Management of penile calciphylaxis is difficult, with both conservative and surgical approaches advocated for.

Re-amputation and survival following toe amputation: outcome data from a tertiary referral centre.

Purpose: Toe amputation is a commonly performed procedure for irreversible foot sepsis. However, outcome and predictors of outcome are poorly understood. Our aim was to determine survival and rate of progression to further amputation following index toe amputation.

The Impact of Preoperative Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging on Surgical Management in Symptomatic Patients With Invasive Lobular Carcinoma.

Objective: Due to an insidious proliferative pattern, invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) often fails to form a defined radiological or palpable lesion and accurate diagnosis remains challenging. This study aimed to determine the value of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for ILC and its impact on surgical outcomes.

Methods: Consecutive symptomatic patients diagnosed with ILC in a tertiary centre over a 9-year period were reviewed.
