Management of incidental pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor: a case report with literature review.

Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare and accounting for less than 5% of all pancreatic neoplasms. Their management depends on dimension of the lesion, main pancreatic duct (MPD) caliber, tumor malignancy features and evolutive potential.

Impact of Intermittent Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) on the Learning Curve for Total Thyroidectomy by Residents in General Surgery.

Introduction: Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RNL) identification constitutes the standard in thyroidectomy. Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) has been introduced as a complementary tool for RLN functionality evaluation. The aim of this study is to establish how routine use of IONM can affect the learning curve (LC) in thyroidectomy.

Incidental papillary thyroid microcarcinoma in consecutive patients undergoing thyroid surgery for benign disease. A single center experience.

Background: There has recently been an increase in the incidental histological diagnosis of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (I-PTMC), that varies from 3.5% in autopsies studies, to 5.2% in thyroid specimens from thyroid surgery, up to 9.

A rare case of primary gastric Burkitt's lymphoma associated with malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Background: Primary gastric Burkitt lymphoma (PG BL) and malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) are rare and aggressive tumors with poor prognosis. HIV and EBV infection have a link in the aetiology of PG BL, while MPM is usually associated with asbestos exposure. Endoluminal bleeding from massive solid tumor, and dyspnea usually due to pleural effusion, are the typical clinical manifestations respectively of PG BL and MPM.
