Clinical evaluation of complete solo surgery with the "ViKY" robotic laparoscope manipulator.

Background: Advancement in both surgical technique and medical equipment has enabled solo surgery. ViKY Endoscope Positioning System (ViKY) is a robotic system that remotely controls an endoscope and provides direct vision control to the surgeon. Here, we report our experience with ViKY-assisted solo surgery.

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the breast. Report of a case with the first electron microscopic study and review of the literature.

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is a tumor which occurs outside the nasopharynx and has morphological features identical to nasopharyngeal lymphoepithelioma. LELC of the breast (LELC-B) is uncommon, and its resemblance to medullary carcinoma of the breast (MC-B) obscures distinction between these two tumors. We report a case of LELC-B occurring in a 47-year-old woman.
