Liposarcoma of the pelvic fossa masquerading as hematoma: a rare case report and its surgical management.

Liposarcomas constitute rare malignant tumors of the soft tissue, with wide anatomical distribution. The prompt diagnosis of a liposarcoma is extremely challenging since these tumors tend to remain asymptomatic, until they grow enough to displace adjacent anatomical structures. In the presented case, a 55-year-old Caucasian male proceeded to our institution complaining about irreducible swelling of the right iliac fossa and constant discomfort, over the course of a year.

Non small cell lung cancer metastasized to the breast and treated with modified radical mastectomy: a case report.

Unlabelled: Breast metastasis from extra-mammary malignancy is extremely rare with an incidence from 0.4% to 1.3%.

Pancreatic injury revealed in abdominal ultrasound: a case report.

Pancreatic laceration due to blunt trauma is relatively uncommon and it is less likely to accompany injury of a retroperitoneal organ. While renal injuries are easily detectable in both clinical and radiographic imaging examination, pancreatic injuries are difficult to diagnose clinically and in several cases remain occult. Although ultrasonography is not generally recommended for initial assessment of the trauma patient and its role is limited in the follow-up of contained intra- or perihepatic bilomas that are treated conservatively, it was demonstrated to be capable for exploration of pancreatic injuries as well.

Does educational printed material manage to change compliance with prostate cancer screening?

Background/aim: The effects of printed educational material on cancer screening in women (Pap test and mammography) are well documented and confirmed by several studies. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of similar printed educational material on prostate cancer screening by PSA and DRE.

Material And Methods: Thousand five hundred men aged between 50 and 86 years of age, who attended our institutions for various medical conditions except prostate-related conditions, were randomly assigned to two study groups.
