Romuald Węgłowski (1876-1935) - Orthopaedic Surgeon, Forgotten Pioneer of Limb Saving Tumour Surgery.

On May 16, 1914, The Lancet Journal published a paper by Romuald Węgłowski, a Polish-born professor of Moscow University, entitled "Malignant tumours of bones: a new method in conservative operative treatment." The idea of biological resection presented in the paper consisted in thermocoagulation of the apparently cancerous part of a bone with a jet of steam. According to the author, dead bone rid of live malignant cells reconstructed itself quickly, which helped to preserve the functionality of the organ without considerable limitations.

Saccular aneurysm of superior vena cava treated with percutaneous, transcatheter thrombin injection.

We report the case of successful endovascular treatment of large saccular aneurysm of SVC in a patient with vascular malformation of right hand and chest. Considering the high risk of surgery, the patient was referred for percutaneous intervention. Venography showed communication between the aneurysm and SVC, just below brachiocephalic confluence.

Diffuse hemangioma of the rectum detected on multi-slice CT in an 18-year-old woman with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.

The paper reports a rare case of an 18-year-old woman with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, whose multi-phase multi-slice CT revealed diffuse colorectal hemangioma. The patient presented symptoms of consumption coagulopathy (Kasabach-Meritt syndrome) and intense collateral circulation in the course of portal hypertension. The CT lesions and possibilities of multiformat and 3D volume rendering reconstructions are presented.
