Radioguided surgery with iodine-125 seeds in breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective: To evaluate the use of radioactive iodine-125 seed (RIS) in breast and/or axillary surgery, in patients with breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Material And Methods: Prospective study between January 2016 and June 2020. 80 women T1-3,N0-2,M0: 30 RIS marking the breast tumor, 36 both the tumor and the biopsied positive axillary node, and 14 only the axilla.

Combined procedure of marking axillary positive node with iodine-125 seed and sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective: To present our initial experience in the combined procedure of intraoperative detection of axillary positive node marked with I seed (ML) and sentinel node biopsy (SLN) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), in breast cancer patients.

Material And Methods: Prospective study, January 2017 - March 2019, 16 breast cancer patients T1-3N1. TNM stage: IIA: 3, IIB: 10, IIIA: 3.

Surgical clips vs. iodine-125 (125I) seeds for marking the location of nonpalpable malignant breast lesions: preliminary results.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of iodine-125 (125I) seeds as an alternative to surgical clips for marking the location of nonpalpable malignant breast lesions for surgery.

Material And Methods: We included patients with histologically confirmed nonpalpable malignant lesions treated by surgery in 2015 or 2016. Patients were randomly assigned to presurgical marking with metallic clips (Group A) or with 125I seeds (Group B).

[Efficiency of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis].

Unlabelled: Importance of the problem. Atypical or precocious presentation of acute appendicitis in children causes false diagnosis.

Objectives: To determine internal and external validity of ultrasonography for confirmation diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Scrotal lymphangioma in children.

The intrascrotal localization of lymphangioma in children is uncommon, especially when the lymphangioma does not depend on testicular structures. We present the case of a 13-year-old male who started with a right intrascrotal mass unconnected with the testicle, clinically and ultrasonically compatible with cystic lymphangioma. The mass was excised because of progressive growth over the previous 5 months, and at surgery a scrotal lymphangioma was disclosed projecting towards the umbilical area through the subcutaneous cell tissue of the anterior abdominal wall.
