Adrenal lymphangioma: Case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Lymphangiomas (LG) are a rare type of lesion of the lymphatic vessels. They predominantly occur in young patients, mostly female. Adrenal location represents 0.

Intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cyst: report of a rare new case.

Bronchogenic cysts (BCs) are congenital abnormalities commonly found within the mediastinum. Diaphragmatic location is extremely rare. We present a woman in her 60s with an asymptomatic intradiaphragmatic BC.

En-bloc resection of soft-tissue sarcoma of anterior chest wall and reconstruction with titanium bars and free anterolateral thigh flap.

Primary soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs) of the chest wall are uncommon. Complete surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment being sternal resection ocassionally required. We present a 25-year-old man with an anterior chest wall STS.

Role of sentinel lymph node biopsy for cutaneous melanoma in elderly patients: preliminary results in a Latin-American population.

Introduction: In melanoma, lymph node status constitutes the most important prognostic factor among patients with locoregional disease. It has been postulated that elderly patients present less metastatic involvement in sentinel lymph node (SLN). Our objective was to analyse the results and evolution of patients ≥ 70 years-old with cutaneous melanoma in whom sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was carried out.

Resection of a giant retroperitoneal lipoma herniating through the inguinal canal.

Retroperitoneal lipomas are extremely rare with few cases reported so far in the literature. They can reach different sizes and present with a variety of symptoms. The differential diagnosis is mainly with well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS).

Resection of retroperitoneal soft-tissue sarcoma involving the abdominal aorta.

Complete surgical resection of soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs) frequently requires complex multivisceral resections, which is the most important factor related to overall survival and local recurrence. Major vascular involvement is not rare in patients with primary retroperitoneal STSs. We present a 54-year-old woman with a retroperitoneal STS encasing the infrarenal abdominal aorta.

Isolated gallbladder metastasis of melanoma: Case report.

Background: Although metastatic melanoma is most frequently found in liver, lungs, and brain, most metastases found in the gallbladder are from melanoma. Here, we present a case of isolated metastatic melanoma found during cholecystectomy.

Presentation Of Case: 74-year-old male with a personal history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and arrhythmia.

Left adrenal ganglioneuroma: Report of a new case.

Introduction: Adrenal ganglioneuroma (AGN) represents about 20% of the reported cases.

Presentation Of Case: We present a 37-year-old man referred to our institution for a history of abdominal discomfort and a left adrenal solid mass incidentally discovered in CT abdominal scan (24 × 20 mm). Patient underwent laparoscopic surgical excision of the tumor.

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma.

Mucinous cystadenomas and carcinomas of the ovary are well-established and common tumors. However, Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenomas (PRMCs) are very rare. We present a 50-year-old woman referred to our institution with history of intermittent abdominal pain and palpable mass in her left flank.

Giant cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland.

Introduction: Cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland is a rare non-functioning benign neoplasm.

Presentation Of Case: A 62-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was diagnosed as having an incidental non-functioning adrenal tumor. Because of the impossibility of ruling out the presence of malignancy, conventional surgical resection was carried out.
