Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of transureteroureterostomy (TUU), a surgical procedure used when cancer affects one ureter during pelvic surgery.
- A review of 11 patients over nine years showed that while some early complications occurred, most were manageable and did not lead to severe issues.
- Overall, patients maintained their renal function post-surgery, indicating TUU is a viable option for ureteral reconstruction in cases of pelvic malignancies.
A solitary fibrous tumor is a ubiquitous mesenchymal fibroblastic tumor that was previously considered limited to the pleural cavity. Here, we report a rare case of a large solitary fibrous tumor of the mesorectum, which was successfully resected laparoscopically. A 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for a giant pelvic mass.

Methods: Survival and clinical characteristics of CLM patients who underwent resection between January 2001 and December 2013 were retrospectively assessed. The study cohort of 88 patients with limited liver disease who underwent curative liver resection comprised 34 with initially resectable synchronous disease (synchronous group), 38 with initially resectable metachronous disease (metachronous group), and 16 with initially unresectable converted disease (conversion group).
