Can horizontal diameter of colorectal tumor help predict prognosis?

Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between the horizontal tumor diameter and prognosis.

Material And Methods: Patients' records were analyzed retrospectively. Patient data, including age, gender, vertical penetration, anatomic location, differentiation of the tumor, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, survival rate, and disease-free survival, were analyzed to find out if there was any correlation with horizontal tumor diameter.

Limberg flap procedure for pilonidal sinus disease: results of 353 patients.

Purpose: Pilonidal sinus disease is common especially in young adult males. Many surgical and nonsurgical methods have been described. Some surgical techniques for the treatment still have high recurrence rate.

Verrucous carcinoma (Buschke-Lowenstein) arising in a sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus tract: report of a case.

Purpose: Pilonidal sinus disease is usually located in the sacrococcygeal region. Verrucous carcinoma (Buschke-Lowenstein) is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma with distinct clinical and histopathologic features, with a favorable prognosis. Malignant degeneration is an infrequent complication, which is associated with a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis.
