NEOADJUVANT TREATMENT OF LIVER METASTASES OF COLORECTAL CANCER: PREDICTIVE FACTORS OF PATHOLOGICAL RESPONSE.

Background: Surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) improves the prognosis of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive factors of the histological response of CRLM after neoadjuvant treatment.

Methods: A retrospective monocentric study including patients with CRLM operated after neoadjuvant treatment.

Multifocal malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) of the peritoneum: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Neoplasms with perivascular epithelioid-cell differentiation (PEComa) are rare. We present a case of multifocal malignant PEComas arising in the peritoneum.

Case Presentation: A 61-year-old woman presented with a painful abdominal mass that had progressed over the past year and recently increased in size.

A case study of abdominal wall and limb necrotizing fasciitis: an extremely rare post -operative complication.

Introduction: Infectious affections are the most frequent post-operative complications, the rate have been reducing due to the administration of perioperative antibiotics and they are rarely serious. They are usually associated to pelvic collections, fistulas, urinary tract stenosis and, exceptionally, necrotizing fasciitis (FN) and pelvic organ necrosis. There is no well-codified treatment.

Primary cutaneous apocrine carcinoma: A challenging case report.

Introduction: Primary cutaneous apocrine carcinomas of the axilla represents an extremely rare entity, with <200 cases reported in the literature. It can be challenging, even almost impossible, to distinguish histologically from metastases of breast origin. We herein present the first case of an axillary cutaneous apocrine adenocarcinoma followed and treated in our institute.

Synchronous presentation of hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: Report of an exceptional case with review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: The occurrence of distinct synchronous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is extremely rare. Less than 50 cases have been reported in the literature. The aim of our study was to describe the clinicopathological features of this association.

Diagnosis and management of an extremely rare solitary fibrous tumor in the retropubic space of Retzius: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs), rare mesenchymal tumors, occur in diverse locations. Retroperitoneal and pelvic SFTs are extremely uncommon, challenging to identify due to vague clinical and radiological features. We present a high-risk SFT case in the retropubic Retzius space.

The lipoma-like hibernoma: A case report of a rare entity.

Hibernoma is a rare tumor developing from fat cells. It is a slowly evolving, benign tumor that is rarely pain-inducing. The most frequently encountered histological form is the typical hibernoma.

Case Report: Synchronous bilateral lipoma arborescens of the bicipitoradial bursa.

: Lipoma arborescens (LA) is an infrequent benign tumor made of mature sub-synovial fatty cell proliferation that may arise into the synovial joint, the bursae or the tendon sheaths. This condition affects mainly the knee joint, but the bicipitoradial bursa is an exceptional location. We report herein a case of a synchronous bilateral (LA) of the bicipitoradial bursa.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the hallux: A case report with review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Darier-Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma (DFS) is a rare mesenchymal tumor with an aggressive local behavior, high local recurrence frequency and low metastatic potential. It commonly presents as a raised slowly growing mass. It usually occurs on trunk and proximal extremities but rarely touches distal extremities such as hands, fingers, or foot below knees.
