Transtumoral approach and piecemeal resection (Steiner principle) for the treatment of tongue cancer at stage T1-T2: A pilot study.

Background: To assess the feasibility of maximizing negative margins with minimal resection of healthy tissue, as confirmed by intraoperative assessment. This approach aims to be safe, effective, and to be considered a standard procedure.

Material And Methods: A prospective pilot study.

Carotid Artery Resection and Reconstruction due to Benign and Malignant Head and Neck Tumors.

Objective: Carotid resection for head and neck cancer is rare, and serious complications may arise since such cancer is frequently detected in advanced stages. The objective is to describe nine cases of carotid artery resection and reconstruction due to tumor invasion.

Methods: The clinical records of nine patients who underwent carotid resection and reconstruction at our hospital were retrospectively reviewed.

Does compartmental resection really impact retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas? A retrospective analysis from a Single Referral Center.

Background: The treatment of choice for retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas (RPS) is surgical resection; the outcomes with more radical surgeries, notably compartmental resection, remains a subject of debate. Arguments against it, include the complexity of the technique and high morbidity.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of cases treated in a single center from January 2010 to December 2019 is presented.

Acrometastasis: The Tip of the Iceberg of Metastatic Disease from Thyroid Cancer. Two Cases Report.

Acrometastasis, especially in the hands and fingers, is a rare clinical condition resulting from primary cancers such as lung, breast, kidney, and, rarely, thyroid cancer. Acrometastasis tends to be the tip of the iceberg in patients with extensive systemic disease, which could be regional, pulmonary, skeletal, neurological, or all of them combined. Even though these tumors are clearly visible and symptomatic, the diagnosis is usually misleading because such distal metastatic disease is not thought of at first.

Transcervical Approach in a Thrice Recurrent Parapharyngeal Space Tumor.

Parapharyngeal space tumors are rare and account for 0.5% of all head and neck tumors. Most of them are benign (95%), of which pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary gland are the most common.
